  1. Default My eyes hurt

    Is there a way for me to change the colors on my browser end ? this site is really hard on my eyes, the green is overwhelming, its not as bad as welding without a helmet but it makes it hard to read the text

    Thanks,

    Vic

    I feel your pain. Many options; what browser do you prefer?

    Honestly... you get used to it. Might be nice if they offered another option for those with older eyes or accessibility issues, but after a little while, it doesn't seem to be as big a deal, I don't even notice anymore.

    Thanks for the reply, I am using Firefox and IE. Would be nice just to have the body either white or black. Black is nice as it still kind of looks like the main website with green borders. But reading the green page is not that easy for me.

    In FF, you can pull the style from the page. It messes up the layout, but does change it to black and white. You can go to View, then Style and choose no style.

    I'm sure there's accessibility plugins for FF that will change it to black and white or high contrast for you, might be easier than getting them to change the colors. IE has some built in accessibility options, but I don't have access to IE at the moment to see what they are. Might be worth a look.

    Firefox has many addons which will let you modify - by site - the colors that you see:

    Chrome has some nice ones also.

    There are some geeky internal things you can do but it changes every site.
