Idle Question...

... which of my user icons do you like best? Least? (I believe you can see them all by going to my userpage and then clicking on my default icon)

The default is a much better Sea Wasp picture, and should be black with a blue-green jellyfish.

would this work?

That's better than the default (though still not as good as Tentacles); at least I can read the name and tell that it's a jellyfish. But I'm still only seeing about 10% of the tentacles.

That would seem to imply there's something wrong with your display. I've looked at both images on many monitors and never had a problem...

i was just going to say that, as my monitor at work is quite a bit darker (and older) than my one at home, and i have no problems seeing all the tentacles. you may want to check your gamma and colour balances on your monitor settings.

It doesn't *seem* dim... if it's mostly white (ie blank Word document), it's bright enough to read by. It's just that there's about 10% of images on the web that need serious gamma correction.

Experiment time: if I increase my monitor brightness until I can see all the tentacles, what do the other icons look like?

Problem the First: you changed your default into some bug thingy.
Checking your icon page...

Increasing brightness from 60 to 95 gets all the tentacles. And surprisingly, the other icons don't look washed out (is Virigar supposed to be medium grey?). But the white screen I'm typing this into is starting to hurt my eyes.

Re: Odd.

Virigar is grey on black, yes. It's a sort of inverse of a pencil drawing with a few tweaks.

Ooo, I'd forgotten to upload that one. Thanks much!
