Ya know when people put writing in black ink and they think it's invisible likethis. It's not. If you just stand up and look down at the screen it's completely visible.

I guess it depends on your settings. Even if technically visible it's far easier to overlook though, even at will.

Thedarkknight, do you have an LCD screen? I discovered that with LCD screens, but to my knowledge, it does not work with conventional monitors.

I have a flat screen if that's what you mean.

Turn your gamma and contrast down, Chryos, if you care enough. It used to be hard as hell to read without selecting for me... now I've turned up my brightness and contrast to see a picture (the contents of which shall remain mine to know) and I can read it fine.

I remember reading something about this. Let's try it.

Can you guys read this?

Yeah, but the black lettering is just to avoid spoilers. It's just a little bit harder to see so it just dosen't pass by your eyes and then you yell "D'OH! I didn't want to see that!" It would be that you would have to look at it to see what it says.

Edit: Being really slow, I have to say this: No I couldn't Meister. That was invisible there.

No, Meister. I can't.

Then this begs a second question: what about normal, black-tagged textlike this?

Yes, I can read that, and Meister, please report to the nuklear power songs thread to receive your song by cheshirethief.

Saw it already.

Well then, I might have a solution for our problem. When you make those tags, instead of "Black" put "111111" (that's 6 times "1"). Let's see how that works out.

Yes, #111111 is the colour of the background as opposed to black. So use that from now on.

I will edit Brian's post! Cause I'm a jerk!
