It could be possible to have different code color schemes to choose from? I personally hate the black theme but others love it, we will never find one that fits everyone.

That's the reason, why I prefer a client-based customizable syntax highlighting for forum users: viewtopic.php?p=569848#p569848.
In case of a guest visitor the color scheme is irrelevant, because you can not know the preferred style of all people.
Here, it is just nice to have highlighting which is similar to the default IDE scheme, even if most of the long-term users do not use this style.

I just created a new style identical to default one.

Yes, but we can compromise. Look at your quote above, that's black text on a grey background RGB(250, 250, 250). To me that's easy to read and stands out from the rest of the post. That's why I suggested black text on light grey as a compromise. Extreme contrasting colors may be attention grabbing, as in advertising, but IMHO are not suitable for extended reading.

Thanks Fred.

I don't know if it's just for me but here, the code is blurred when [ code-pb ][ /code-pb ] tags are used as here



I use STARGÅTE's client-based customizable syntax highlighting
and I appreciate his color schemes. Is it possible to use this userscripts over the server version ?

Edit:
Much for me, the code is blurred, precisely because the userscript above is enabled.
If I deactivate it, I get the default theme without this blur.
However, is there any way to avoid this blur effect with a userscripts over the server version ?

Confirmed. It is due to this style defintion of the code-pb tag: I will update my script soon, to remove this style as well as the yellow border around the code block.
In principal it is possible to use my script after the board script, it works here.

Great,

Now code tags (plain text) under darkEdition are a big fat yellow block.

I don't like how the "New Posts" link operates - it seems to 'reset' itself every 24hrs, so sometimes you check for New Posts and it shows zero posts

Well, my online status cannot be hidden.

With the color schemes, I don't find that helpful most of the time.
With a black background, for example, many things become more difficult to read.

What happened to the Games Math section? We had tons of useful information there........

What game math section ?

If I remember correctly it was a sticky topic in the Game programming section of the forum.

You do remember correctly It was started by DK Peter who also contributed a lot of very useful code.

It was born out of this discussion:
