Is the theme too bright?

[Jason76]

Some like it, some don't, some say it's good if the screen resolution on the monitor is adjusted.

allot of white, there is no colours at all

It depends on the particular monitor you have, the settings etc. Anyway, a few colors are needed, but they have to blend in with the rest. Note that the signature banner for one member @Ash blends in well.

I don't think it's bright at all. It's plain–blank. Add some color. Won't be as bright. 😛

Is no color at all bad?

It's not bad, but having a good combination of colors would make your site cheerful and fun to stay.
you can explore or make nice color combination sir at https://color.adobe.com/explore/

I don't think the theme is too bright. But your text is too bright and small making it hard to read.

With that said, more colours couldn't hurt. It would be enough if you just changed your header to something like this:


Some example code:

.header {
background: #8360c3;  /* fallback for old browsers */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(to right, #2ebf91, #8360c3);  /* Chrome 10-25, Safari 5.1-6 */
background: linear-gradient(to right, #2ebf91, #8360c3); /* W3C, IE 10+/ Edge, Firefox 16+, Chrome 26+, Opera 12+, Safari 7+ */
}

.menu .active:link, .menu .active:visited, .menu .active:hover, .menu .active:active {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

Where can this code be found on the theme?

I haven't used Mybb, but there should be a CSS-document somewhere that you can edit. You could also upload a custom CSS-document with these (and some other necessary code edits obviously) theme changes and it will override the default CSS code (if you place it after the default CSS link).

The text has a large font, though. How is it bright? It's too black?

How did you make that picture? You don't have access to my admin.

The text you use for forum posts is fine, but the grey text for your forum categories and topic list is too small and bright IMO.

I used my browser's development tool to change the CSS. 😀
