DOS screens aren't designed for Novel Reading

New mission! by Ellipsis Flood on 2011-06-09 11:46:00 UTC Reply

This time I took on an incredibly shiny Sue in the Megaman Battle Network continuum. She's just... ARGH.

Mission

So... no minis in this one, but I think I won't keep the ones from the last mission.

They can be found in the Lost and Found section of my website.

Be careful, they like to poke people if provided with pointy things.

This had me laughing until I cried. 89- I don't think I've ever seen it that high before...

I don't know the fandom, but I did like this mission quite a bit. Well done!

FYI, white text on black background, particularly when there's alot of text, across the entire screen, with little space between them, is pretty much the penultimate form of eyestrain - led only by gray text on black background, which you also use. I get dizzy just looking at it for a moment.

It's a huge no-no in any kind of website design, and I strongly encourage you to alter it.

In my poinion, it makes sense. by Sergio Turbo on 2011-06-10 10:54:00 UTC Reply

It looks like a DOS screen, and I think it was the idea, since the transitions are basically loading screens.

I like it.

By reading white on black blackground, with the very compact font that is used, you are severely straining your eyes. I'm not complaining here just to complain - I literally get a headache just looking at it for a few seconds. That's why I didn't stick around long enough even to see the color change the first time in.

I'm surprised I'm the only one speaking out here, so I'll just shut up about it after this. I'm copy/pasting it into a word document to read it so I'll have some substantive stuff to say about it later.

You do notice that you can change color scheme and text width, right?

(Right below the mission header on mission pages, on other pages there's a dropdown menu on the bottom.)

Changing the color doesn't. Clicking either black or white will set the page to its default.

Turns out it was a cookie thing that background color could not be set to white. However, clicking on white after I had set the text width, still resulted in having to set the text width again, because it defaulted to 100%.

But that doesn't change the fact that your default color is not a good choice.

Great one! by Sergio Turbo on 2011-06-09 14:43:00 UTC Reply

It's funny. Expecially the breaks. Elly-o-vision?
