In reply to the discussion: The DU4 beta is now open again, this time for all registered DU members [View all]EarlG
(22,518 posts)21. Ah, interesting
I was about to write that DU4 uses the exact same blue color as DU3, but then I remembered that on DU3, link colors are actually not defined at all (one of those things that makes me realize how long ago it was developed). So DU3 links (in most places) will display as the browser's default color.
On DU4 I specifically defined the link colors, and as a Chrome user, I picked the same blue color that I see on Chrome (without really thinking about it). But of course, on other browsers that color may be slightly different.
Other than that, wherever possible I've tried to keep the same colors on DU4 as exist on DU3. The "Navigate" and "My Stuff" buttons are a new color, but I've tried most everywhere else to use the same colors.

In all honesty (can't we get flagged for criticising DU?) I cannot stand the FLASHING "MY STUFF" button! Why the new format?

You can turn off the flashing. I didn't like it either. Now it's gone on my interface.

The ability to Rec individual replies in a thread is a winner...needs more advertising!

Night Mode just popped on! This should be really good for me, because I read DU in bed. ❤️
