Need some serious testing help!
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 by voidcore | Discussion: Skinning
Well.. thing is i have a blind not going thru mod.. and reason is i quote:
"Some menus are unusable due to 1) black text on black background in menus.? 2) right margin on some menus not set so text is off the menu 3) black text against a black background in some drop down boxes.?"
But i dont have these problems! anywhere, i need some people to help me get this sorted so i wondering if anyone is willing to test this and find this problem so i can correct it and so the blind can go thru mod.
Here are some menus sry for the link (img not working right)

okay....just tested on xp and back to report....
first off, yes, your font is too dark on the drop down menus, black on virtually black isnt a good choice.....(my eyes were aching after 3 mins of use,from trying to read the menus, black font ect....and im only 33 and dont wear or need glasses)
you group menu item background is also black, and you have black font on that also...so i cant read the menu unless i mouse over....so that has to change also..
menubar font is also black on black.....very hard to read....
..you need to be more user friendly mate......i mean good on you for doing black and red, but she has to be user friendly, otherwise...it wont be approved, obviously the reason why it was rejected in moderation.......
........i hope this helps......

Just out of curiosity.
If he were to have made the changes that were suggested and made that the main style but also left his original settings and included that as a substyle would it still be rejected?
Like I said just a curiosity question. Not trying to say anything to or about anyone or anyones judgement or work. Just after reading the thread it's something I wondered.

I liked it the way it was, kinda wish I had kept it. If you still have the original, resend to me? Thanx for the karma!

Dark skins are difficult to work with. You do have to consider others when making them and that some programs will auto use black text no matter what you do.
Yes, a substyle would have made the skin go through moderation (in my experience as I'm not a mod). As long as one of the versions was created to make it more 'user friendly'.
This can be something to keep in mind in the future
