for me your text is black on a yellow and orange background. highlights are in green.

Re: color

[sunmother.livejournal.com]

I see what you mean...after I have written a comment it shows up in green on a blac background and is hard to see.

i just lightened the text a LOT.
it should be plenty bright. it is almost TOO bright for me. (bright screens give me serious headaches)

Re: color

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]

yeah...i think people have their monitor settings up too bright or have too much glare in their offices. i can see it just fine.

[xerotic.livejournal.com]

I don't think it has anything to do with what you're doing. In fact, what web browser are you using? That may make a huge difference..

(Note: If I peer REEEEAAAAALLY hard at the screen, I can barely see my typing in the box.. it'd give me a headache to read,if I could do it at all... but it's almost there.)

Re: color

I have no glare, and my monitor is adjusted for graphic editing on Photoshop. I'm betting that's not my problem at this point.

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]

you may be right about this....but i have my monitor set up for photoshop editing too. had to for work.
i am using firefox. does this help?

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]

It looks fine in Firefox

Re: color

I think you might have your LJ set up to force your layout onto other people's pages. If you go to Manage and then Info, there's a checkbox asking if you view comment pages in your journal style. If that's unchecked, you shouldn't get the orange/yellow-ness mixing in with Heather's layout.

At least, I hope it might be that. That's a quick fix. =)

Re: color

[sidhedevil.livejournal.com]

Honey, make sure you haven't checked the "View comment pages in your journal style" in the Manage/Info section. That might be what's causing the problem.

*hug*

Re: color

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]

i _did_ have that checked (unchecked now) but i thought that only effected MY view, not everyone else's.

[zankoku-zen.livejournal.com]

your background is black, your text is forest green.

i can see you fine with my firefox.

Re: color

[sidhedevil.livejournal.com]

If other people have it checked, they'll see their layout instead of yours if they check your comments. I think that's why your friend saw yellows and oranges mixed with your green customizations, and why Surma might not be able to see things properly. Meh...I could be wrong though.=)

Try opening the page with IE and see what happens. I use IE because I have to use a standard for work. That's probably the major difference.

[xerotic.livejournal.com]

See above - try IE, it's only slightly better. I hate when LJ logs me out.

Re: color

[xerotic.livejournal.com]

It's not- that's the only thing I knew to check already.

[wanderingbastet.livejournal.com]

Looks fine for me now. :-)

Re: color

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]

teehee. sunmother is my mom.:)
i think i have fixed this for everyone except Surma. everyone else has told me it is better.

Re: colors

[2eclipse.livejournal.com]
