Poll: DoesWargames look good in Green?

Yes brilliant, get this released now	33% (19)
Better than before, but still not great	17% (10)
No, try a different colour	17% (10)
MY EYES!!!! BRING BACK THE WHITE AND GREY	30% (17)

Ok so I need your opinion, does this look good. Please compare to the old version, which didn't actually have colours (ie, its white, grey, and whatever your system default settings are).

If you think a different colour would look better, please suggest it. I might one day allow a range of colours, so this might be kept anyway, but still your opinions please. I've yet to change the main text colours, but the standard blue has to go, it clashes too much most of the time with that green.

Tetsuya	I like it, looks great. I think green fits the game well.

Acebloke	I'm working through your email right now XD First time I've got a chance to actually work on Wargames for awhile.

Tetsuya	I could improve upon most those ideas, just I didn't want to dwell on a topic I thought was good then you may not.

Ganing	Eh I think a different color. I got a bit confused cause the background of the map is as well green. maybe black, gray, or blue. Possibly purple.

Tetsuya: I'm always open to ideas, but something I already have plans for or don't intend to change.

Everything other than "random events" which you mentioned in your email I'm probably thinking of doing (either thanks to you or through my own ideas previously).

I'm thinking that I will do a range of colours, and then you'll be able to decide by yourself. Anything is better than what I had though, the big blocks of white are blinding.

Tetsuya	That sounds awesome. Can't wait.

ACWraith	I'd lose the grid background, but stick with the grid colors. You could use the darkest (black?) for the control backgrounds, the lightest for the text, and the middle for the window background. This would make everything match while still keeping things separated. [Edit: Then again, the dark control background might have too much contrast with the light HUD.]
