Can we get another background for AskMe?

November 2, 2004 9:07 AM

COLOR THEORY CRYBABYFILTER: I love the blue and grey of metafilter, but find the green of AskMefi to overwhelm me, and in kind of a swampy pea green soup way where I can feel ill if I read it too long. Is it possible to offer another background color, similar to the white screen you can get in your preferences when the Metafilter blue gets similarly distracting? I love AskMefi but that green really gets overwhelming at points.

I love the baize. The blue is starting to look a bit retro in a Windows 95 kind of way.

Use a favelet to change the colour, or an user stylesheet for your favourite browser.

It sounds like matt has been building more new stables while everybody was looking the other way...

Pending any emergency recounts, law suits, etc.

But seriously, woo!

Hope it's the anti-AskMe where we get to answer with all the snide and humorous comments that we don't now. Some questions just beg for it.

I thought that was the whole point of the blue...

Anti-AskMe. Great idea.

Shyeah, right. Like we totally need a separate place just for snark and whatever. Okay, fine, be all segregationist. See if we care.

Apartheid for the jaded. Capital concept, that, pal.

You can have an anti-AskMe, only if we can have an anti-MeTa where everyone will be tolerant and patient, and we can discuss some issues that we can't now. (Some questions just beg for it.)

I was just going to snark that I can't believe someone would get physically sick from looking at a color--until I checked out #D4AAAA.
