Colour Schemes

I recently did an assignment for Human Centric Computing in which I had to evaluate the user interfaces of two websites under 6 distinct rules for good design taken from Nielson’s Heuristics, the Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design, and general guidelines for various users. I realised that to form an accurate opinion, I’d have to disable my Firefox colour scheme for a few weeks…

What a relief it was when I returned to my darker theme today! I could feel my eyes relaxing immediately- everyone should have this experience!

In order, these are the colours my brother selected and I copied into my add-on:

Originally, this was due to the fact that I needed to complete an assignment but couldn’t look at my screen because of a… ahem (hangover) ahem… but I grew accustomed to the style and how much easier on the eyes it is.

I did, for a while, use f.lux- an incredible application which I highly recommend. I had it on my last computer but never used it on this one as it does increase startup time and this laptop is generally more comfortable to look at anyway as it has a matte screen and the brightness is easy to change.

However, I have to say https://justgetflux.com/ , just get flux, you (probably) won’t regret it.
