We are very summer blue now.  The views differ according to the browser you are using.  IE7 is rendering very strong blues.  Firefox will now show you an opaque User Info box at the top, with some mountain behind it.  I turned down the colors a bit, but they might still be a bit strong, especially for night viewing.

LOVE THE COLOUR, LOVE THE CHANGE!

There is this site with pictures, but I don't know about copyright..

What about all scanning our theatre tickets (from all over the world..)

We are slowly moving the site more towards a User Community that isn't all-things BBM, but we'll always have the mood and the connection to the movie.  We are going to reduce the blue color in the message bodies here to aid in readability.  It is apparently a bit too blue for some.  I like reading other reactions to the changes as well, so keep them coming.

Phillip, keep up the good work!  I love your ideas and look forward to the new pictures.  8)

Since you asked, I thought I'd mention that I'm finding the blue at the top of the page mighty intense and kind of miss the softer sky we had before.  Maybe there's a middle ground?  :P

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but we have lightened the blues on the site to improve readability.  The quote box is now a more muted yellow as well.  Has this improved the readability for users who were having issues with the original blues?

I have hardly noticed. I didn't have any issues with the blues before the change, and not after the change. The blues are all fine with me  :)
But I have a little issue with the new shade of yellow in the quote box. For me it's harder to read now. However it's not too bad, and I guess in a while I will have gotten used to it.

Hi Phillip,

To answer your question about the blues and yellows, they're all fine with me, except a softening of the intense royal blue at the very top of the page would suit me better.  Thanks for all the great work you're doing.  :)

Some of the bands come out lavender on my screen but that's perfectly okay because it reminds me of the purple mountains' majesty.  :)
