Kudos on your research but u may reconsider changing dis one cos everything is wrong with d color combination

Seun.....
I. Nuh like dis one at all º°˚

¶ bet ma 50cent dat its april fool

Seun: I made a big mistake with New Nairaland, by making the colours too bright, so for a while now I've been experimenting with this theme. I know this new look not perfect, but I think it's much better on the eyes. I will keep tweaking it over time to make it better.

As a scientist at heart , I tried to research the issues with the old theme in a objective manner. My conclusion was that the old theme was painful on the eyes primarily because bright colors bombard the eye with excess photons, causing over-excitement of the cornea, leading to pain after using the site for a few hours. For me initially, I didn't understand this because I only used the site for 30 minutes to an hour at a stretch, but some days ago after a long moderating session of about 2 hours my eyes started to water and I knew something was wrong, so I started working on less photonic theme with dark colors that are easy on the eye.

The way it works is that the background occupies a much larger area than the text, so if the background is dark and the text is light it reduces the number of photon bombarding your cornea and provides relief to any pent up tension in the eyeballs. So I inverted colors to retain the same pleasing blend of colors you're used to while reducing the photonic bombardment rate considerably.

I know that my scientific rather than artistic approach won't win people over instantly, but if after browsing for 2 hours you notice that your eyes are perfectly relaxed and not watering at all, I hope you'll understand why that's happening and appreciate it.

Isn't there a way to have people select their own themes? I personally prefer a light background with dark characters over dark background with light letters. There is also research showing that the first option is easier to see.

All i can say is OMG!

People will always complain on little thing, do u want to spend your whole life here. Get what u want, read whatever u want to read and get out....Mtscew

Is this Seun's way of saying 'April fo0l suckers!'?

April fool thingy. That's my bet too.

Well its nice,bcoz wit dis background,i can b on NL @nite.

see this APRIL FOOLS..do u think Seun meant all wat he said? Wise up fools *winks*

Time to shine i guess.E be like say God dun bless me with Special eyes this New Month!

I don't know how it appears on you guys' device but the contrast is welcoming on my mobile. I like it.

osifred: ¶ bet ma 50cent dat its april fool

Looks like we're wearing the same thinking cap.
He couldn't have chosen a less flattering theme.

Though the page not too fantastic but health wise I think it better.Big up to you seun

Oga seun, my eyes are watering . Did u say dis new look is eye friendly or is it jst my eyes?
The previous ones are much better pls

Definately an April fool prank!!!! Not nice.

Dis must b seun's way of tellin us April fool. I bet e wil change dis hideous theme 2day

This theme is good..i don't know why people are complaining..

Ok, who has spent upwards of three hours straight on this new theme and how are your eyes doing. And I mean normal people, not those on controlled substances, alcohol or endless consumption of dry garri without nuts.

Happy apirl fools day to you all. Am sure thats what seun means by putting this theme.

Oga, so u spend an average of 30mins, then off u go to bank to collect the proceeds from Nairaland, while dedicated guys and ladies stay on for hours, helping out, answering questions and making the site rich and interesting. Yet u don‘t care about their opinions. I don‘t know how to describe u, man. U simply....

what is it about this april fool thing, just log on nairaland only 2 see another april fool joke awaiting me.

DAAAAAAMIT!!! Guyz where am i? WAW nl3, ewwwww Zoom offfff

Any right thinking person should know this is an April fool. when he wanted to launch Nairaland 2 he tested it by posting a link where we could check it out. Whoever thinks Seun would go straight to put this up straight away without our input needs his/her head examined. @Seun sorry I did not fall for this I am too alert today.

i got fed up since d very first theme change..,now another change,na wah oh.this one dey affect my eye personally and confusing.pls change to d previous theme.thanks

wetin b this naaa...dis theme is jst confusin!Seun abeg,change dis rub-bish!

bandiejay: i went and check NL on Mobile now but looks good on the BB but damn i hate browsing on phone as for me i still prefer that OLD NL and that is my own suggestion but this present colour on laptop is dammmmn! rubbish

Which model are you using cos it looks like a high school student's fresco on my bold 4!

I must be one of only a few people that actually like this colour
combination. Not because it is beautiful but because it is easier
on the eyes. I have spent the past 30 minutes reading the comments
here without any problem. I couldn't do that with the previous theme.

Unfortunately, every discerning mind will understand that this is an
April Fool's joke. If you read Seun's explanation for adopting this
colour combination on Page 0, you will clearly see that it is a joke.
He will revert to the old colours shortly, but I could be wrong.

seun, I'm highly disappointed in you. So despite our pleas, you decided to be rigid only for you to take actions immediately 'cause you happened to be a victim of our honest observations. You are just like our rulers who care less about her citizens. Now I know why dealfish kicked your sorry arse to the abyss. You have a very poor business sense. Sorry to type that but it's the #fact!

OMG! What's this?
