The wiki color scheme isn't exactly the color scheme that we'll be using on the site -- close, but we're working to find a version that everyone on the design committee finds readable. The text will be black-on-white (or, more likely, on a very very very light cream or grey, so as not to be *totally* bright), while the headers will be closer to the darker red used for the outline on the right-side box on the Wiki. We're also going to offer multiple color schemes by open-beta launch, FYI -- so you can pick the one that you find most readable. So, if you happen to like something brighter or something more muted, you can just pick the appropriate site scheme and it'll show to you whenever you're logged in. --D -- Denise Paolucci [email protected] Dreamwidth Studios: Open Source, open expression, open operations.
