Why did you drag me into this thread? 😮

(I think something went wrong with that link?)

Also, I too dislike the orange edit button! Blue = friendly, orange = kill on sight

i just copied and pasted the link and i guess it tagged you all… didn’t do it like that before, but i was mainly trying to highlight the replies, views etc being dark blue and unable to read on a dark charcoal background…

Totally agree that the dark blue on the “replies” column is totally ■■■■■■. I honestly thought it was just my client bugging.

 ![wtf_is_even_this](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/b/9/db9284b95bfe8adb85011d49132db67b652f5869.png)

The reason why I liked the muted blue on the “edited” icon, was because it had little meaning. It also wasn’t as dark blue as the above (I think?), so one could still see it.

Now, the icon just screams

Its a subtle move towards Elite Dangerous.

Very soon, NPCs will be talking in local.

“Ill boil you up”

“This liner is in the top 99% of all liners out there”

Naughty. That’s not quite what I said!

It is quite striking as a contrasting colour between the overall colour scheme (bright blues, mid to dark blues, greys, black) having said this, that’s not necessarily a reason not to use it, just an observation of the contrast.

If the intent is to make it clear that a post has been edited, then in this respect it serves it’s purpose. If on the other hand you wanted something slightly more subtle then a beige of some description might work.

Ok. I interpreted it as you saying that it was somewhat of an odd choice. My bad.

CCP, instead of changing the icons on forums, maybe its time to actually color the icons in game?

Just dont force it on everyone, add an option.

It’s cool. I just thought you were possibly being a tad cheeky _(in a friendly sort of way)_. It’s all good my friend.

> No… My point was, why change them? It was a muted blue before, now it’s a bright orange that “pops out” and takes focus. Why change it?

The blue versions (one light, one dark) were not particularly visible for some players - myself included. The dark one especially tended to be so low-contrast against the background to the point of being completely invisible.

I heaved a huge sigh of relief when they suddenly turned orange and I can actually see them consistently now.

Now if only they do something about the replies counters…

I’m not saying orange is perfect, mind. But it’s a damn sight better than the dark blue (pun intended).

Makes sense if the color was hard to see for some people. I’m also not opposed to change the color from the muted blue, if it was hard to see. It’s just that the current orange **very** much stands out for me, compared to the other colors used on the forum.

I’m no expert on color schemes and what works best. It’s just my opinion that the icons are almost as bright as EVE’s suns. Maybe it’s their way to immerse me into the game, even when I’m on the forum.

Full disclosure, I can’t find a slider to change the color anywhere. Even checked behind the couch.

Like, $2.89, some rubles, a rupee, about 750 isk, a token for an arcade game on Coney Island, some Canadian money, and like, a crap ton of dust. I’ll grab the vacuum later.

None of them touched any buttons either. We have 0 idea, and the logs show nothing.
