Back in Black

Posted by Greg at 04:16, 19 Nov 2009

For those who have problems with the white background version of the Grail, I've finally put together a workable version of a dark-background theme. It's still not a finished version, and some aspects may either be ugly as sin, or quite simply broken - but as I said, overall there are enough hours in it that it should work fine and be a helpful alternative for anybody who has trouble with the black on white contrast of the new version. Anybody who uses it, please advise me of anything broken or ugly via the 'Contact Us' option in the menu on the right of the page.

To enable the new theme, you have to be a member of the site. Go to the main menu in the right sidebar and select 'My Account', click on the 'Edit' tab, and scroll down to select the 'BlackTDG' theme. Comments are welcome as I work towards a more complete version.

Tonight will my first viewing in over 2 months of something I can read without my eyes hurting - thank you.

Haven't had a chance to see if I encounter any problems yet, but will let you know if this eventuates.

Now - just that *members online* and *new members* lists and I'll feel the donation I sent in August has been well worth it!

Again thanks. Regards, Kathrinn

P.S. Now been here quite a while and encountered no problems - plus it's been very enjoyable and no sore eyes.

good option!!
