As someone who is acutely conscious of color combinations and the asthetics on web pages, may i suggest that the color combination be changed to something more soothing for the eyes...
The deep blue, crimson and green colors are just toooooo jarring...and tiring for the eyes...esp the crimson/scarlet red...
As a color rule, assault of more than 2 primary colors at a time on the eye makes the object appear very busy, the eyes have a hard time distinuishing and absorbing this embedded info. This in turn leads to eye fatigue pretty fast.....and without being aware, the observer automatically looks for a change in the visual stimulation being recorded....which in this case, may translate to forcing people into taking a short break from this site...
Silicon Investors use of grey tones down and mutes the dark blue into oblivion...and is much more soothing as compared with the various shaes of blues on IHub boards.....
Maybe the developers should experiment with something which is equally or more comforting to the eyes...? It may help with customer retention....i believe the primary reason for raging bull's failure was its garish color scheme....i and a lot of my friends couldn't STAND that board because of its color combination....i preferred the yahoo boards anyday...
Just an opinion, of course...
