I noticed it, but it was a while ago... didn't it used to be black? The background that is behind the window when using a wide-screen monitor.

Geeze. No, stone cold sober over here. Unfortunately. I swear, the background for the site is looking and acting differently. Maybe I better go fix myself a nice drinky.

No, Nailer's right, I noticed it too, but a couple weeks ago. The background went from a lighter shade of grey to a blueish-greenish-grey color. I thought you did it, Matt.

Well, obviously those that noticed the "change", (not me, I guess!), like it!

I say leave it in place....whatever "it" is. :coffee:

Now that it's pointed out, there is a subtle difference. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out, but I like this one. I say leave it.

I thought the older one was better. It was like it wasn't even there. The current one has a little too much saturation, drawing away from the center column.

What do you guys think of the color now? Just changed it to match the site a little better. It's lighter and less green.

I would like to see the header and footer a lighter color. I can see the text fine at home, but at work with windows behind me and a weak monitor, I can't read the text at all.

I don't have a window in my office, and I can't access this site at all from work.

Ummm like that color ? That was the other color.. You know it just doesn't match the color that was the shade before... Seems we need to get back to the color man.. Sometimes I see magical colors when I drink the Tea .. Then I trip for hours on the colors ..
