omg AXE ! I think your monitor is set at very high res. and at full brightness. It is not easy to judge that too easy in that case. That's why I reduced the resolution to 800x600 when T took that shot. Just reduce the res. for a minute and also reduce the brightness a bit and now carefully notice........

I mentioned it earlier it never looks greenish in WinXP. :)

people who are seeing the green color are in fact, inside the matrix and are aware that the matrix isn't real and there is a glitch in the code.

on the other hand, users who see the correct grey colors are unaware of what's really going on :shock:

it's the only logical explanation 8)

Yeah, I'm in 1600x1200 res.. But I've looked at this site in 1024x768, and 800x600, and I don't need to go messing with my brightness & contrast, cuz it's set right - which is why I'm seeing the colours (or lack of) that I'm supposed to be seeing :)

:) Ok Axe and scarecrow ! let life trace or vanish this matter in the sands of time. Reality is always different. You can call me a liar Axe, but you cannot deny the fact that many people in here have reported about the "greenish" thing, even the super moderator ATNO/TW told us about that. Now think about that Axe : We all at the same time can not be wrong because we don't even know each other to form a story for a deadly plot. The "greenish" thing is there.

Yes scarecrow ! I am using the same hardware and the "greenish" thing is only in Win98 and not in Win2000 Server and WinXP.

well ATNO/TW ! tell me where the mazic lies, hidden in the sands ? And I will follow you over the wastelands of the heart 8)

I'm not calling you a liar, I'm not saying anybody is "wrong", or that they're not seeing what they claim they're seeing.

Simply that my monitors are set correctly here. I've looked at the site in '98, 2KPro & XP, and I'm seeing shades of grey. Am I then the liar because I'm unable to reproduce what you're seeing?

Also the fact that the colors in Ozzu's CSS file are actually truly shades of gray, not green. What this means is either your browser, computer, monitor, or something somewhere is making it have shades of green. There are in fact no shades of green here, so its not Ozzu's problem, but something on your end. The fact more than one person has this problem simply means you guys have something in common with your configurations, who knows what it is though.

I figured this out. My computer at home was set to High Color (16-bit). That's where I was seeing the greenish tint. I just switched it to True Color (24 bit) and now it appears the shades of grey I was expecting. Test it out on your own, but that is exactly what made the difference for me.

did not work in linux using 16bit or 24 bit color ozzu appears the same.

yes Bigwebmaster, it's definately a problem on this end. the problem, my monitor allows you to change green, blue, magenta, red, yellow, just about any color except black or grey. plus, adjusting the brightness, contrast or color depth doesn't help either.

i will post the cause of the problem here when I find an answer. it make take connecting this display to a Windows box for comparison.

The color scheme is just perfect and easy to read. Needless to say less strain on eye. (Even consume less color :) )

We all remember how a site spoiled its look in an attempt to make things attractive. Yes you got it ExpertExchange from a classical Forum look it changed to a light version with blue graphics and stuff.

Great going buddies. Keep up the good work.

Cheers.

Please update the FAQ section of the site. As I was reading the same and did'nt find any link as User Groups.

And add more information for new members. Information like different types of user Newbie Assistant / Newbie / Hacker and so on and so forth.

There are no user groups at OZZU, cyberax, which is why you couldn't find a link. The board is capable of it, but we don't use that feature.
