Colors on this site are getting weird. Back off on the overuse of different colors. Keep white titles and single color for visited titles.The red theme for "hot" items looks a bit hellish. I get that you are experimenting, but it's time to get back to basics and good functionality.
I agree. It looks kinda cheap and early myspace. I am not a fan.
switch to dark mode - much better
My trouble is that whatever “mode” I’m in, it makes all the pics look like negatives. Cant figure out what I’ve done.
I'm using dark mode. I was a graphic designer for many years. It's really common to over-design and forget functionality. I love colors, but they need to make sense.
You mean you don't like "Dark Mode, Instagram"? Lol.
You get a Pantone! You get a Pantone! Everyone gets a Pantone!!!!
Boo. It's way cooler this way. I don't like staring at bland white boxy screens. Makes me feel like im staring at the posters on the wall of the room you sit in after waiting for the doctor to come in. It's awful.
Asking for some consistency and purpose in design doesn't mean removing all design or making it boring. The red-tinted sky looks more scary than cool. When the unread titles are one color and the visited titles another color, I cannot tell which is which until I click on a few titles and see the resulting colors. Good design doesn't require the user to figure it out, it's obvious. Good design uses a consistent color scheme that reflects the emotional intent of the site -- uplifting, fear-driven, trustworthy, etc. I'm guessing most people don't realize what goes into good design because good design is not the focus. Instead, good design allow for the dissemination of the information without distraction.
