I've created a custom CSS style to make the new WP less bright. I'm no web designer, but this might be better than the current state of things. The post backgrounds are the exact same green and blue as the old WP, if you miss that. ;)

See https://wp-fmx.github.io/WP/ for screenshots (and other useful stuff), but here's the TLDR version of the instructions:

1) Install the Stylish extension.
For Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
For Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... leoegfcffe

2) Install the custom style.
Go to https://userstyles.org/styles/90807/wro ... olor-fixes and click + Install with Stylish

That's it!

omg... that's actually A LOT better. I'll take anything, as long as it's not those god awful bright white colors. Even on Facebook, I use stylish to make Facebook darker. It's so much better than the painfully bright white colors.

the new forum didn't bother me that much, though I do like to have the blue and green back.

I made a minor update to the style to undo the capitalisation of topic titles, eg. this topic's title is now shown as "Here's how to make WP less bright (works in Chrome and FF)", instead of "Here's How To Make WP Less Bright (Works In Chrome And FF)". Just go to the userstyles.org link again and click the Update button.

Cool idea, FMX, like it. But where did the blue/green alternation go?

Oops, I made a little typo, which broke the alternating blue. That's fixed now - please update.

If, for some reason, it says you already have the latest style installed, then just delete that style ("WrongPlanet forum color fixes") and re-install it.

Thanks - works fine now :D

(It just asked if I wanted to update the style and did so without a fuss)

If someone wants to write a phpbb3 theme that does the same thing, we could potentially add that as an option in your preferences without requiring browser modifications.
