They should have changed the store to match the forums, instead of alienating all the forum users and making us look up how to re-adjust the colors to something usable.

There are, at least, three of us with poor contrast issues.
-Bill
A little more contrast of the area outlining the leave a comment field would be nice. Depending on the tilt of the display it can be very difficult to find the field when I want to leave a comment.
I do like the store appearance.
2.1 Kw Suntech 175 mono, Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 ( 15 years old but brand new out of sealed factory box Jan. 2015), Bogart Tri-metric, 700 ah @24 volt AGM battery bank. Plenty of Baja Sea of Cortez sunshine.
I would suggest "darkening" the white space background for the forum... (or under-lay a nice Flagstaff bluffs image as base background--That would be very nice--Bluffs background "fixed", let rest of forum scroll as normal over background).
-Bill
See what happens.
-Bill
For now, I will focus on the theme colors to better highlight the "new" discussions.

The Read Discussions are (supposed to be) darker background (presently, too light of background for some of use using LCD laptop displays to see).
Monday, I will ask NAWS (David and Rick) to darken the minimum contrast for the whole forum.
Any other formatting problems/suggestions?
-Bill
If anyone still has problems with the new theme (background colors should be darker now--No light gray backgrounds that fade to white on some laptop screens), please let me know here. Add a link to the page that you have questions about.
For example, the very light gray around this edit window is still too light color for me and looks almost white (like back ground).

Anyone else have comments?
-Bill
Hi Bill,
Thanks for getting the Post numbering addition.
The border around the Leave a Comment box is still quite light -- very low contrast between the white background. It the contrast ration may well have been increased, but still a bit light. YES, am using a Laptop, and laying the screen flatter does help, as does placing one's chin on the keyboard.
The color scheme looks better, sharper, perhaps.
Thanks Bill, and WInd-Sun (and others), for making all the improvements ! Vic

Also, how's the bug fix, mentioned in comment #9, coming along?

I will see if we can get bigger font or make it blue green or something (avoid red/green color blindness).

Looking here, it still seems to be in the Announcement section of the off grid forum at/near the top:

It depends on how I (moderators) have marked the discussion (thread).
I try not to do sticky discussions very often for the recent posts listing...
-Bill
The theme change got sidetracked because of work on NAW's web store. Hopefully they will be back soon.
