I've missed this discussion, but like the tabs Machie :)

The PC I'm using has one DVI monitor and one VGA monitor.
The difference in colours between the tabs is much greater on the VGA connected monitor. The 'home' tab appears to have more green in it, and the 'Lan...' tab looks grey. If I drag the Window to the DVI monitor then the difference is much smaller.

I've noticed this in the past so when I use a water-mark image I always view things on a few different monitors. What can look quite faint on a DVI monitor can be fairly bold on a VGA one!?

If you view things with a CRT monitor then things will look different again.

As with your page size questions earlier, colours are also a compromise. All you can do is view your finished design on as many different setups as you can!

Thanks for pointing out that everyone can edit their titles now - I hadn't seen that before.

For working demo avi screen shot videos I would suggest:


Link to hypercam

Hypercam - my tutor used to use it on my HND course to demo tutorials in dreamweaver, photoshop etc.

We found it a very useful tool

Oops, turns out she was referring to my favicon and not my tabs, she can see them as "beige/cream colour and the other is grey colour". I changed them a tiny bit so hopefully Hmmm can notice more of a difference.

Thanks Hmmm... ^_^ I'll give it a go.

Freeola lets everyone change their thread titles now, which can come in handy. Oh and I never abuse my mod powers 0=) though I'd be tempted if Garin ever ventured into my kingdom >=D

Changing your thread titles is abusing your moderator powers... ;¬/

I like the colours, I'd hate to have to change them again as I've already spent a lot of time on it. I could change it a litle bit like making the grey lighter, you'd be able to notice more of a difference, but I'm not happy that people see the light Khaki colour as grey. Umm I'll have a play around with some other colours then =( maybe blue or green. How disappointing.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Oh and I like changing the thread title =D I always keep 'Machie' in the title so you know it's the CSS help thread.

Looks quite greyish to me as well...


Oh. And stop changing your thread 'titles' !!!

Its not 2 shades of grey. The home tab is 231/231/221, they'd need to be all equal for it to be grey. Its close though so easy to mistake it I guess.
