If you mean the same colour I mean, then it's an optical illusion, since the highlight colour is the same everywhere (00bfef).

Would this be better?

I'm trying to say I think it's too bright and in your face, perhaps try muting the color a bit:

Quickly GIMPed but I think maybe the background color could be even darker than that to make the white text pop more.

Also, I noticed the Nexuiz text isn't very defined. Perhaps emboss or bevel it and mabe grunge it up to give it some character.

So it's more about the brightness than the hue. :mrgreen:

Here a version with darker _c colour (and improved(?) Nexuiz text):

better but I think the hue should be closer to the dark blue in the menu, not the cyan.

Well, that's part of the concept. Every colour version has a base colour (e.g. blue) and a highlight colour (e.g. cyan).
That way there's more contrast and more character :wink:.

More contrast and character would use a complimentary color ;)

I think your choice of color for this selection does more harm than good in the overall design. I really think you did a great job with the rest of the design, the buttons and scrollbars especially...

The blue in the bottom of this screenshot is a lot easier on the eyes (the author text would probably need to be updated)

The Nexuiz text looks better but still lacks depth, the version number should probably be darker or more prominent.

tbh i prefer the over-bright blue version, even if it may hurt a bit on tired eyes, its got more character. numbing it down to a murky blue sorta looses that sting.

<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along

Looks impressive from the screenshots -- *claps*

I can't try it right now, i'm working on something. However I can't wait to try this later.
