I've been exploring the chat rooms more and more these days and finding them rather more fun that I thought I would. There is, however, one thing that most people observe and that is that it's quite difficult to see the colours of some fonts against a custom background (which by the way, I think is a brilliant feature). I was wondering if the contrast or brightness of the background could be set to a custom level to make it easier to see colours. Obviously at first it would be trial and error to get it right, but in the end would prove quite useful, I think.
Interesting suggestion, would make the bg more of a watermark.
For now orange font seems to be a good choice for most BGs.
I personally find some of them to be quite annoying. It's a nice idea, but the execution isn't great. There is one in particular that's gray bricks, pretty much exactly the same shade as everyone's names.
Although some have to change their colors I find that the pink background seems to make pics and gif's stand out more.
I find that many of the backgrounds can be distracting and make the rooms hard to read as well. I also think turning them off would be great, BUT, it would then be hard to tell if others who have it on can still see your text, right? I mean if some have it on, and others have it off.
How hard would it be to add a space at the top of the room where the room creator could add a picture but that it didn't fill the whole chat box?
I don't know. LOL
Im not a tech/computer savy guy - but do have ideas. Love the dancefloor background, but question/idea: could a person send a picture and have it made into a background option? or maybe linked to their profile to be used as a chatroom background? I try to run a room once a week with a kind of old vintage style. Get compliments on the dancefloor one, but am wondering about if its possible to link others to profiles.
