Re: The red background links on hover

The 80s were never cool.

Ever.

Not even used in a retro cool way on a website.
It's just not cool.

It's like having a really cool thing that is so cool, only its really shit because its not there, instead some really uncool thing from the 80s was used instead.

Fine by me. Actually it's insignificant enough to me I just remembered I have to go rearrange my sock drawer.

Re: The red background links on hover

When you have a visited link (purple) and you rollover to red, it's hard to read. Plus any rounded buttons are then glowing red underneath in the square manner. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a big fan of it. Just a thought. Not a fan

Re: The red background links on hover

I don't think the color change itself is bad, but the bright red color is a little garish.

Re: The red background links on hover

I don't particularly care for it, and I completely agree about having it a more subtle color. I hated it at first, but am getting used to it. Highlighting=fine, red=bad

Re: The red background links on hover

I was caught off gaurd when I first noticed it.
I dont particarly like red...

But I did notice it was nice on a thread with multiple pages, I could tell which page I was hovering over better...

Oh yeah, I guess I like it.

Re: The red background links on hover

The Blue isn't any better.

I remember when roll over colour changes we're first used on websites.
They used a solid block of primary colour.

It looked like shit then, and it looks like shit now.

Re: The red background links on hover

Well young'n what was wrong with the old set up?

If you absolutly must have a colour change, then simply change the text colour to lighter or darker shade.
