A new Site Theme!

Thursday · 19 Sep 02 · 01:38 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

My brother Varun made a nice new theme for this site today, and it is a really good one!  From all the feedback I got about the site, people apparently were not as crazy about the Light Green colour scheme as I was.  It turns out that the theme's appearance depends on the colours you have chosen for your Windows, that is, your desktop colours - the green colours didn't go well with everything.

Well, being the professional that he is, Varun decided that he would use the elements that worked in the Light Green theme (namely, the font styles), and then discard those that didn't.  So he made the new Plain White and Red theme, which uses black text on a white background, with a stylish red logo.  The white background means it will work well with a wider range of desktop colour schemes, and it still retains that cool appearance.

And since I now like this new theme a lot, I have made it the default.  So if this is your first time to the site, then you are looking at the theme I am talking about.  If you have already chosen a particular site theme, then your setting has been retained, and you are now looking at your previous preferred setting.

Why not check out the new theme?  All you have to do is to go to the Customise page.  You can always revert back to your old preference if you don't like the new one.  All the older site themes are still (and will always be) available for you to use.

A big thank you to Varun for making this theme for me.
