My wife is getting annoyed with the amount of time I spend on here. To the point where im now lying to her when she asks what Im doing on the laptop... I have to tell her its porn now...

a change of colour would give me a few more months before I have to divorce her...

Thanks

Actually having 2-3 different colour themes would be nice, if not too hard to implement.

It reminds me too much of a BSOD, which I am getting now and then so it is giving me nightmares.

Was the colour ever under discussion, ie. green? pink?

I think we discussed it and it was decided that a blue background was the most easy on the eyes.

We have a pink GPRO skin, but it is only available to and used by Chris Williams :)

There was a discussion about this long time ago and I know there are some settings in Chrome and Firefox with which you can change the background to any colour...Let me see if I can find it.

E: Can't find it right now..maybe somebody else will.

Used to play a game that had a feature where if you pressed a key it brought up a screen that looked like work. That's what you need Chris ;)

Think it's a couple buttons actually: Alt+Tab. Ctrl+Tab works, too in a pinch.

All the normal tactics still work for when she walks into the room....

Its when im doing more in depth stuff like practice laps, and checking out the opposition, or just chatting on here... I can alt - tab off, but at some point ive got to come back.

Ooooh yeah, purple? I like purple
Purple FTW!!!

I'd love a Magenta theme, I'm actually using a magenta recolour of the Chrome GPRO blue theme. I wish I could use that in site too :)

For the ones that consider magenta too gay, I think a nice Benetton Green can do the trick :D

I'm sure she knows how to check your browsing history.

Quote ( Daniel Mason @ November 17th 2013,23:11:58 )

Think it's a couple buttons actually:


It was Escape and it brought up a false DOS prompt and later when it was further developed in a different game it brought up a fake spreadsheet or something like that.

Blue has been proved the most relaxing colour for an Internet site, and is therefore most conducive to members spending a decent amount of time on here.
