G'day all, I would like to propose a suggestion, on the main page, the background is white I found in RTW1 after a while it was a bit hard on the eyes. I suggest a parched paper background to reduce the glare from the white. And while I'm at it perhaps slightly bigger font, foe us older folk with failing eyes. I sure am not the only with old eyes. Can text and background be modifiable?

Maybe this could be a setting. I think some might not be to happy with this change

In Profile > Edit Profile > Settings there's a theme option, but only one theme is currently available. Presumably this could be changed by the admins.

I think goodwood is referring to the RTW game, not the forums?
At any rate I have added a selection of new theme options that you can select from for your use, including a couple of darker ones...

Sure - let me copy the theme screens and paste them here, be a bit.
Here is a zip file with screens for all of the available themes we currently have (except for the USN theme they all come from ProBoards lib files):

I'm a bit confused here I did mean the game not the forum.

Oops forgot the text basically all main screens I have trouble after a while staring at white screens, either need more subtle colours or bigger text. Background colours would be fine

Yeah, dark-on-white designs can be tough on the eyes for some. It would be nice to have a white-on-dark look as well, if not included in the game directly then modifiable to such by the user. Larger text options are good too — I find the default text size in many games and apps to be quite small, and I have to bump them up in size to make them easier to read. Unfortunately, many programs don't work well when text sizes are increased in Windows settings as the text overlaps menus and screens.

Color options might be doable. Text size is harder, as that will affect the size of the various components on the screens.

Unless the team contradicts me, I believe RTW just uses Windows's default window drawing toolkit. At the very least, if I change Windows settings, the colors RTW is drawn with change. Unfortunately, classic mode no longer exists in Win 8/10, and the options you have for customizing color themes are much more limited than previously. However, if you go to Start > Gear icon (settings) > Ease of Access, the are several things that may help you. The magnifier option might help with font size issues without messing up the window layout, and the high contrast settings will help with allowing you to theme your colors a bit more than Win10 allows by default (it will, however, only allow you to use a single color, rather than an image, for your desktop background, if you care about that).

would love a simple dark mode - black screen, white text. i have an add-on for firefox that does that and it makes it so much easier on the eyes

Colour is more of an issue than text, it is the glare from the white background that is really the problems
