Forum:Changing Sysop Hilite

Recently an important issue has been raised. On Forum:Template Colour, it has arisen that the majority of user have voted to change the template colour to black. The reason behind this being that the green background of old can hide the lime green colour used to highlight sysops. Evidence can be seen here, in which it black because otherwise the lime green would be hidden. Then, if it remains a green, or any other light colour for that matter, it looks like this. It was evident that the lime green may need to be changed.

Some users suggested experimenting using my personal files, in which I did. I changed the sysop hilite colour to all those that had been suggested, taking screenshots of all of them as I changed it (Screenshots here). So, opinions? TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 17:19, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Why do we need to change the color if our templates are going to be black? Shotrocket6 17:21, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not all templates are going black though. Some such as the Welcome ones as well as other will not change. Plus the main reason people support black is because of the green/lime green camouflage. Get rid of this issue and I believe users will not be so fond of the black. TheDocRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 17:24, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * If the problem is with certain welcome templates, why not just change them instead of the entire hilite? Deal with the minority. Shotrocket6 17:26, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Only one hilite will be changed (unless we choose orange and then Bot and Sysop will have to be swapped. The difference in changing the hilite is its 6 characters to change the hilite of a particular group. Its a lot more to change all the templates. And besides, the welcomes ones are the end of it anyway. TheDocRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 17:30, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * Looks too close to gold. 17:53, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Pink. I think it looks nice on all pages. Orange is nice too, even though that's the bot color. 17:33, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I personally think olive looks nice. 17:36, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

pink plz 17:49, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I like the lime green. Sorry but I'm going to play the old "why does it matter now" card. Why are we changing such a minor thing that has been in use for over a year and a half now? 17:51, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I find that logic incredulously stupid. That whole theory means that things should never have been fixed if they weren't before. Things change, and we adapt to suit these changes. TheDocRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 18:01, March 11, 2012 (UTC) 
 * I also don't see a need to change what as worked so well for us for so long, especially when the templates are going to be black soon, which increases visibilty. Shotrocket6 17:55, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think you understand why the forum was made. Since template colors are going to change soon, lime green won't look very good against the background of the template. Thus, we are seeing what other colors we could use. 17:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why would green not look good against black? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Shotrocket6 17:59, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Pre-vote Checks
Before we head to some form of vote, does anyone have a particular unique colour which is not already used or being tested which they would like to put forward? TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 17:41, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * We could do Orange, as Drk suggested. 17:50, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Orange was a colour already being tested, have a look at the link for the screenshots above. TheDocRichtofen  (  Talk  ) 18:02, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
