But ultimately, that will go away at some point. Might as well get used to it now.
It's really not that significant of a difference. You just have to give it some time.
Um… yes it is that significant a difference. The high contrast alone hurts my eyes. Literally. Aesthetically, there's some good ideas, but it's far from polished. I won't rehash my objections to the new look, but I will have to say that if the old skin goes away, barring any corrections of some of the more egregious issues with the new look, I''ll be out too. The high contrast alone is simply intolerable for me.
I get that you guys want to freshen the look of the site up some, but quite frankly it was highly functional and pleasant as it was. I don't get the whole "it looks too 90's", and furthermore don't get how the new look is supposed to be more modern. The old skin was most certainly a very professional job, while the new skin is quite amateurish. I hate to be so blunt, and I certainly don't expect anything to change to suit me, but being silent isn't going to get any attention either. I'd be curious to see what exactly was the inspiration for the changes. There are no websites, blogs, or forums that I frequent that even remotely look like this new skin.
