My favourite one was the one with bright and vibrant colors and sparkles and such" The ability to choose is the important idea here. Would figure that an AFD prank would contain SE's best UI idea. | |
| Jan 30, 2023 at 17:03 | comment | added | bad_coder | I like the dark theme a lot and don't think it's mundane at all... As for the change to the green an experienced user provided their rational and although I personally didn't like the change at first I'm happy with it now. | |
| Jan 30, 2023 at 16:30 | comment | added | starball | @VLAZ Thanks for that info! I'm quite new here on MSE. I didn't start being active here until around November, and the "Recent color contrast changes and accessibility updates" post was made in September. Poor excuse, but yeah sorry. | |
| Jan 30, 2023 at 12:50 | comment | added | VLAZ | Then I find the question backwards, again. For the decision was made to go to darker and muted beforehand. Which drew criticism. I wouldn't know if there are numbers to support going back from the last redesign. There was clearly documented issue community raised, though. However, where were the numbers to support the redesign into darker colours? Why should there be justification for going back from there, yet you've not asked for justification what led to there? | |
| Jan 30, 2023 at 8:17 | comment | added | starball | "Does that satisfy your question?" my question is about wider view- not just one person ("Was this a specific question in a user survey? If so, what are the numbers?") But thanks for adding your view. "With that said, if you're really into dark and muted" See my last paragraph :P | |

With that said, if you're really into dark and muted, then do try out high contrast dark mode. You will see such dark and muted things as the ignored tags which barely appear as tags or the highlight of questions with watched tags. Yes, the middle question does have a background (rgb(6, 6, 7)) different to the others (rgb(0, 0, 0)) if it's hard to notice on your monitor. For a sufficiently large part of the day, it's hard to notice on my monitor, as well.

I do not believe this change was for the better. You can notice that on the left (the "before") the checkmark doesn't really have "more vibrancy and sparkles" but it's more noticeable. It stands out. The right is muted and looks less "active" as an element. Same with the accept colour change. | |
