I did receive quite a few complaints when I first tried the colors I'm using. I tuned it down a bit by selecting duller shades of red and blue, which seemed to appease the masses. But after a while, it felt too bland, and over time, I've gradually brightened up the blues and reds again. It is an aquired taste, but the feedback I've received from most of the members is positive. To try and please everyone, I have created a style with lighter colors as an option, but since it's not really to my tastes, it's not as detailed as the black background style.
Thanks for the feedback so far!
