Agreed 100%. This move towards grey on white is... what's the word I'm looking for... stupid. This is a developer's site for crying out loud - not a showcase for fine wine.
And PLEASE (excuse the shouting) reduce the extraneous vertical padding!

It causes a problem with the menus too. I mouse over "discussions" and the drop down menu list appears. But as I move my mouse down to the list, unless I move it very quickly, the list disappears before I can select from it. Pretty odd behaviour to say the least.

I hope the esteemed Mr Maunder is reading this thread with a kind eye. Chris, if it's TimTams that'll make you see things our way (pun intended), just say the word!

That sounds like what I experienced when I reported spam earlier. Mr. Maunder would like you to reveal which OS and browser you are using.

I don't get that, menu stays open until I make a selection no matter how slow I am.

It's part of the new world order, and is used in attempt to pacify the public, and make them more accepting of totalitarian doctrine.

What syntax highlighting system does CP use? I am just curious as I am trying to get into web design and just want to see how things tick.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

We use our own system painfully built over the last 8 years. The trick with other highlighters is that none of the ones we saw handle the way ASP.NET (for instance) moves from one language to another, such as from Markup to Javascript to C# and then into XML (in the C# comments.

I like it! I have already used Win8, so I could see what you did immediately. I actually like the Metro UI, it is very crisp and clean!
Good Job!

While the new look is in line with Metro/Win8, modern, sparse, etc., the increased vertical space around forum posts causes one to be able to view less than content than before. This (at least for developers seeking content) is not a good thing. Please note, I'm not pixel whining - I'm drawing attention to a productivity killer.
Thanks,

My guess is that people will generally either love or hate the design, but I'm somewhere in the middle: The general layout is much more modern and looks good (great job guys).
But I do have to complain about some fonts and colors as I'm finding that some of it is very hard to read. This won't bother everybody (my mummy says I'm special) but a slight increase in contrast would be very helpful if you're at all able to?
(or can someone maybe suggest some way I can tweak the colors in my own browser automatically every time I visit? I know I can do it each time with built in web dev tools but I've no idea how to make it happen every time without me doing that extra work)

I'll second that.

I wish there was an option to choose a theme(old look and new one).
|
|
|
|
|
You stole my thought!
Can we please have a configuration setting to choose the one we want to? You can default the setting to new one. Chris?

Not in the plans I'm afraid.

Noooooo...... We just got rid of the old one - it felt tired - let's give the new UI a chance to run in. I think it's a breath of fresh air.

Somehow you are right. I just missed the old look.
