I've noticed this complaint is pretty common so I just made a thread about it.
Example:
Code:
[16:43:22] the new look is actually give me a headache, I'm not joking
[16:43:32] MY EYES MY EYES
[16:43:37] I had to close out
[16:43:47] *giving
[16:43:53] its not easy for my eyes too lol
[16:43:57] but possible
[16:44:02] It
[16:44:03] contrast between colours is shit
[16:44:05] too much clutter
[16:44:05]
Yeah my eyes do not like it as well not only because of this many white ... the whole thing somehow doesn't work with my eyes.
2 of my friends where i was already whining about the new looks said to me they do not see any difference but for me this is like hell oO
(ok i am definietly overreacting but since i first saw this new design my heart started to make problems like i am on adrenalin .... would call anyone telling me this a freakish idiot but well ... maybe i am)
we really NEED the option to get the old design back o do not need any of the new features -.-
P.S. "everything else is the same color" oO? i really hate all the buttons not only for color but they definielty look different
different people percieve light in dofferent ways, where you may be comfortable with black on white, I am more comfortable with white (or light grey/yellow) on black (or dark brown/grey)
He's not trolling, there is a slightly (emphasis on slight) noticable difference between the two. It's subtle, you need to have a good quality monitor to see it.
Regardless the issue was about larger areas of brighter colours. Now we have a fox of sorts.
Good lord guys, turn down your computer's brightness. The site really is no brighter than sites such as Facebook, in fact, sites like Facebook are still brighter. If the theme hurts your eyes, I can only figure one of two things:
1) You really like to pump the brightness settings.
or
2) You stay in a very dimly lit area, and a bright site kills you because there is so much more light in contrast to the room around you.
1) That would mean that this isn't actually a readability problem, but rather a problem with people who for some reason like to waste power.
2) That's not true, I have adequate lighting around me - and I am fine with many other sites.
Here's some reading for future reference: DarkBackground.org, This StackOverflow answer and last but not least this StackOverflow answer.
In short, since the monitor is a polarized light source - as opposed to a piece of paper with printed text that reflects the light, dark backgrounds, black-on-white causes greater eye fatigue. You might not notice it, as it only manifests as pain in some (typically those with more sensitive eyes, such as myself), but that's the truth plain and simple. Black-on-white is however better for comprehension (as shown in the first stackoverflow answer), which is why it is actually used in the first place.
just bring back the classic skin, that is the main reason why i choose classic over this one, this current theme is too bright against the blue background.
Just enabled the dark theme and i must say my eyes are quite relaxed now. Although the dark theme is a work in progress it's better than browsing with shades on.
