Some people like softer colors, some like bolder colors, some like light colors and some like dark colors and most of the time they have options which they want to look at.
With the Columns there are no options to turn the off. On some sites the shout box can be very very active, here it is pretty calm. On a busy site I hate the shout box.
I have on a different site asked members to remove an image in their siggy line or avatar as there are people with seizure conditions that flashing stuff sets it off.
I try to please the masses but will make exceptions for things like seizure conditions. You aren't going to plase everyone, so I try for the majority.
