I added 4 new "Style" sets to the existing ones today. The style sets determine the colors etc that you see our forum. If you want to take a look, just go to your preferences in your stuff and scroll down to "Your preferred stylesheet" You can preview all of them and see if any strike your fancy. The new styles are: Black and Gold Coffee Pastels Konira

I like the sunny_yellow drop too but I can't see the pink colored writing on the user boxes very well against the darker yellow,, but over all it makes for a "sunny Page"

How fun is THAT?!
I've always just used the default setting, but this was so fun, I've switched to Koniro (the blue one). I like it!
Thanks, Bill.

I did look at them all. But went back to the basic. I feel most 'at home' with what is here.

I too looked at them---and I am now with the pale yellow one---Like Tina, I am most comfortabel with what I am used to----For me it has more to do with the font size than the colors-- ah well I am told change is good,...one day I may talk myself into believing it if I do I will change the color scheme/font size I use.

You can change the font size on any page of most PCs. I even do it on my daughter's laptop. I press the Ctrl button and then use the little scroll button on your mouse to enlarge or decrease the font size. It isn't permanent so the next time you log in it needs to be redone. And it doesn't affect other sites like your email and things. You have to do each separately. But it is quick and easy.

I guess it worked for you. Now I need a ctrl/scroll for my snail mail to make it easier to read too.

yep it did work for me, Tina. Sorry I am not so responsive of late. I am feeling better so ther is more housework & MIL "work" for me to do----and it is taking me longer than before to do all of this because I am not "used" to doing it---
I now have the pastel coloring--but I think I will likley go back to my usual one----the ubb something or other----

I love the Cindy Faye one! When I first saw this post I went through all of the style sheets and was a bit disappointed that there were no green styled ones. I have a thing for green, you see. Thanks Bill!

Very funny, the only bad I can think of is I spend too much time on here where I could go do something else, but I love that color.

I had the Cindy Faye for a while and Will go back to it later. I switched to the pastels again for a while. It matches My Button and Avatar Better
