I personally prefer the dark (but semi-transparent background), which is obviously why I set it that way. Perhaps it would help to explain my thinking behind doing it that way. I wanted to make the edit form more distinctive, to make it stand out from the rest of the page (particularly the list of actions in projects below it) because - functionally - it's one of the most important elements on the page, other than the list of actions itself. I also like the fact that it matches the style of the navigation bar. However, I can understand if people think it's too strident. What do others using the trunk think? If you disliked it to start with, did you get used to it over time (heh, perhaps I'm clutching at straws here!). I think if people want it to be lighter, I'd probably try to go for the same shade as the context headers (#ccc). One thing I'd like to do is keep the number of colours in the palette for the application fairly small, to avoid a 'busy' look. cheers, bsag -- but she's a girl - the weblog of a female geek http://www.rousette.org.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tracks-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rousette.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tracks-discuss
