Discourse Visual Difficutlies

#1

Hello there!

I just wanted to address a personal issue I have with Discourse.
The colours used for the fonts are way too bright, making text a bit difficult to read ( especially links which are in bright blue)
Personally, more contrast between background and text color would be more appropriate. I can see why it is like it is now ( due to the color palette) but I find it quite hard to read without getting nearer to the monitor

Maybe we can solve this out in a different manner?

Is this with the Mozilla theme?

@yousef I guess. I havent discovered yet where I can change themes

I don’t believe you can change your own theme, it’s done sitewide.

#5

Discourse is using Open Sans Light instead of Open Sans, and link colours should be #2983C8 instead of the actual lighter one.

Are we sure we are using the one mozilla styles?

Also it’s a bit confusing that visited links lose their blue color, since when you go to another computer and see them blue again you think it means they are unread :wink:
