I have a red line on lt blue background, you may want to check you color settings for your vid card....


I'm using the Boinc client for the Mac. All my other colours are just peachy, so I'm assumning it's the program and not the colour card. Red being yellow and blue being gray would be a pretty radical difference in colour.

I would gladly kill a SETI alien to have a red line!

Works fine on my screen, and I've yet to hear any other complaints about it. Sorry, Nikolas, no accounting for taste. :-(


The key to good use of colour in charts is contrast. BLACK on light gray would be way more legible. I can barely see that yellow line, and I'm not colour blind -- that I know of.

Seeing as how that is my only complain about Boinc, I guess it works pretty well. :-)

The statistics page drives me nuts -- a thin yellow line on a light gray background?! Who came up with that colour scheme?!

I have to tilt my monitor to see it clearly. Alas, I use a Mac, so I cannot switch to some other software.

This seems like SUCH a simple thing to change by the powers that be.
