Does anyone happen to know what parameter in palette.txt controls the colour of the text for the Forum Titles of topics which have been looked at?
It doesn't matter which skin I use, such topic title are such a pale blue colour that I struggle to read them.

I've actually stopped making skins because of this problem.

It isn't just the "read topics", it also "how long ago" a post was made.

It isn't so bad with dark skins but I prefer pale ones. Pale green is about the worst.

@No.6
I, too, prefer pale slins and backgrounds.
Sad that the issue should cause you to give up on skins.
Surely someone like @Starryk or @WyldAnimal must have an answer to this question!

sorry, there is no parameter in the palette.txt for your mentioned text in the forum.
the same issue is in the 'last posts' section. when you have a skin with a darker base color the text in the posts is unreadable.
only workaround for now is to set the colors that all is readable (yes, i know it took a while).

only Totem can fix this issue by themselves.

@DrDoom9

It is something that has changed in the last couple of months. They made some changes and for a short time it was impossible to read any text in the forum with particular skins. I think at that time it was the dark skins.

@frae had a look at it at the time and fixed the main problem by making the main GUI forum text use one of the palette text colours. I think she said at the time the forum colours were a sort of gradient based on colours within the skin. Unfortunately we are left with this very pale text that is almost unreadable with certain pale colours. I haven't managed to find a way around it other than avoiding particular colours which just spoils the process for me.

Even more frustrating is that skins that used to work fine now have the same problem and I just feel too disheartened to go back and edit them all. I still have a few that work OK so I am sticking with them.
