Dirty Green Blogskin!!!

hmm... looks like my blogskin's colour has gotten some unwanted attention... well... glad you guys noticed my new blogskin... haha.. kinda hard not to since its in goey green or what ever you think it looks like.. (for optimum viewing performance, please use 32-bit colour display on control panel)... hahaha... just joking..

actually, i intended the colour scheme to be largely blue with some striking orange to contrast it instead of the current green and purple colour scheme... however, i just could not find the right shade of blue... a lighter blue will be too glaring as a background colour while a darker blue would render my post difficult to read... the contrast between blue and black is horrible... and i wanted my posts font to be black... so blue was out... red was too CNY but this final shade of green worked very well with the black font colour of my posts and was not bright and glaring... i have no idea why this is so... maybe different lcd screens will yield different results.. anyway... thereafter, i added purple in place of the orange... to give contrast and some eccentricity.. hehe.. haha... yeah.. this is how it got its colours... used this site to help choose my colours too... as in which colours complements and contrasts green or any other colour... yeah... http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

Also, i designed this blogskin to be viewed on widescreen lcd.. cos my lappie is a typical 16:9 widecreen... so when viewed on a normal 4:3... everything will look squashed on the top... i am still trying to rectify this... maybe some of you know how to adjust the height of the scroll window of the main column to fit the screen instead of my current method of fixing it at 450px... please do enlighten me...
