The lime green used at the top of quote boxes is quite bright on my tablet and dominates the screen a bit, the rest of it I like.

It is almost the colour of the grass growing outside in my paddocks, this morning. almost. I think the paddocks are a touch closer to spring green than lime green... but it is about to cloud over and change, so I'm going to go and dig in the garden whilst I can. I can be online when it rains. I don't enjoy digging holes that fill with torrential rain and leave me with temporary new ponds!

I've softened it a little - any better?

Yes, it is better.

One thing to bear in mind is that tablets over saturate colours a considerable amount. I'm on my laptop right now with a properly balanced colour scheme (using a Spyder 3 Pro). There is now a Spyder 5 ranger http://spyder.datacolor.com/portfolio-view/spyder5pro/ . But if I go onto my Sony Tablet then it is another matter entirely!

Bliss...



the trouble maker is (temporarily) behind bars...



Visiting hours!



The result is 4 eggs again today, all lain peacefully with no arguments, before 10am and more importantly no blood shed!

Calm is restored.

Yep, thank you.

I like the colour scheme. It's making me feel nostalgic...

Not the same since the family sold it on though.

I've spent most of tonight re-working the colours to flatten it out a little and tone down the darker areas. Most of the work is now done, although there may be a few minor tweaks over the coming days. Reload your browser cache to apply the changes.

With the assistance of the chooks, my OH has deloused me this evening!

You're having so much fun in Oz - you wouldn't get that back in the UK, now would you?!

My poor black chook was very grey when put back on the roosting perch! The white-ish bird was very white. Mind you I'm an interesting shade of grey note as well! They all got their legs oiled as well... Collering them all off the roosting perch was so much easier than trying to catch them when they were running around!

Looking better, crisper colour.
