New Style Switcher for Reverb Site

>> Written on May 16th, 2008 by Leon

I’ve been torn recently between whether to continue to indulge my own preference for a dark coloured main Reverb Studios Site and most of the rest of the internet’s adoption of light coloured sites. I never liked to go with the flow and I reckoned if it looked good to me and was readable then leave it, no matter what everyone else said!

So I happened upon a method of having it both ways which is always best! At the top of each page on the Reverb Site to the right, you will see 2 links “view dark site >>” and “view light site >>”. The default when you first arrive on the site is for my preference of dark which I think looks the best and tidiest. The site is basically optimized to look better dark. But for the small minority of people who have difficulty reading light text on a dark background clicking “view light site” will more or less invert all colours. Dark backgrounds become white and white text becomes dark.

Let it never be said that I ignore minorities!

Leon.
