New Color Scheme


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to change the new color scheme so that it looks (to me) like it did before?

Some boards have a light scheme and a dark scheme. Some allow each user to customize the color scheme.

Just wondering.

I also wonder. The new scheme is hard on the sight of us oldies - e.g. poor contrast for the titles, almost invisible.

I see that they light up with the mouse hover, but do we need these gimmiks?

There's a dark theme that you can select at the bottom of the pages. Unfortunately it used to be based on black and greys, but today it has changed into tones of blue, which to me is not as pleasant.

Same for me and everyone else I would guess. Looks pretty nice (I like it) but I would have preferred the old black on white as it makes it easier to edit text. Selected text now turns blue, and it's difficult to see.

If you down to the bottom there is a theme mode you can change it back

    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
    • Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
    • So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
    • Well I’ve never seen the make before and cannot find any info, I haven’t got it just yet it’s been left to me among a 1970’s sea master and a mid size yeoman. But if anyone has any information on this one please feel free to enlighten me, many thanks
