A Change in the Quote Box Background Color

Post by merthsoft »

So, I think the background color of the quote box is a little too bright.
Here's an example of what it looks like
I propose we change it. Here are two examples that I like:

Though, I'm not really a color guy (I am color blind, after all). I'd like to hear some others' opinions, thoughts on changing it?

I was unable to vote on the poll as the default site skin was not compatible with the installed version of phpBB3. I updated the skin and it seems to have a new quote design - has that improved matters?

Yes, I quite like the new quote style. However, the icons for post indicators are a little bothersome :P

They are indeed, as they seem to be inverted. Would it make more sense to swap unread/read so the read is black and the unread is white?

I've now inverted them all (apart from forum link, which is only available as black on white).
