Thanks to benny for suggesting this idea, there is so much source code on here I am surprised this wasnt thought of before.
Benny pointed out to me that the code was in a rather small font and was very difficult to read, in fact I must admit to copying chunks of it into Notepad to read it, I never thought to just change the way it's displayed.
Anyway, it's dont now, the font is larger and in dark green so it should be much more readable, I may tweak the colour if people dont like it but it should definately make things easier here anyway.

Much better now, Shocky! Thanks for that!

Test an even more geekier color scheme.
Have a look at it ;-)

What do you think folks?

Green on black is how code should always be displayed

I have a problem with this...
When I was in College I had to use a language called COBOL, it stands for Commercial and Bollocks Orientated Language, it has no graphics commands and I had to write my code on 286 PC's with green monochrome monitors... It's just total trauma for me... But if enough people want the change.... . .

The bigger font is definitely an improvement. Can we leave it dark on light please? The green on black is very low contrast and hard to read on a badly angled lcd screen (laptops in particular), at least imho.

I would prefer the light background with dark lettering as well.
-
I experimented with dark blue bold text in the same text pane and it looked great, so maybe a slight change to dark blue on a light background?
-
Yup, I guess everyone has his personal preferences. So, I think
you cannot find the ultimate colour scheme everyone is pleased
with?
Maybe the bigger size is enough ...
In the end I think Jim's point is good, that it requires at least a
good contrast. This is definately more eye-friendly.
@Shocky:
Anyway, maybe you can post a screeny of your color scheme ?
-
It's just the same as we have now mate with a colour value of #002 insteal of #020

Wasn't aware of this problem. If that's the case, then okay, I have no problem with a dark on light or whathave you. Green on black will always be the classic nerd colour scheme however :P

Oh definitely. Or amber on dark orange. And printer paper will be 14 inches wide and have green and white bars on it :D

Checked in Azure Theme.
The code tag font is too big compared with the rest of the message text.
And the black border is too thick.

The code tag font is meant to be big clyde.
