Did the forum change styles?

I use Bruno's style sheets to keep the forums nice shades of blue.

Thank God, I thought the display on this old Macbook was finally dying.

It hurts my eyes. Please go back to the old way.

Sorry guys. I am a +1 for the change.

If you use a user styles extension (like Stylus) and you'd like the older colors I've posted a quick set of user styles on userstyles.world and userstyles.org.

Let me know if I missed something. :)

Looks like someone washed the forums and ignored the "No Bleach" warning on the tag.

I'm curious what it is that makes this styling so painful. I can read text on a white background (e.g., Wikipedia) without any sense of unpleasantness, but something about this new pattern of tans seems to burn my eyes. Does anyone know what effect could be in play here?

Not sure what it is either, but if I could cast my vote, I'd vote for a return to the old colors.

Count me as one of those who find this newer look almost painful.

I'm at the computer all day for my job, and least I can change the appearance of AutoCAD.

I think the multiple contrasts is what's making it harder to read. The pale user name, the lemon yellow text box, the mid-range gold border, and the brown headers combine to make everything hard for the eye to focus on.
