Smugmug email background changed from black to grey?

[shrekie]

Hi,

I've just noticed that the background of the emails sent via smugmug are now greyish instead of the black that it was before. Can anyone else confirm this? If this is the case, is there a way that we can revert it back to black as the off-grey just looks very muddy and doesn't provide the same nice contrast that the black background provided.

Thanks.

Yes, it will match our new default background (#161616) that will be used on the site in the near future:

I'm sorry, there isn't a way yet, to customize the look/feel of the sharing emails - but we hope to offer that in the future.

Thanks!

Yes, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (!) have the option for us to select black as a background option when emailing. The off-grey-green background I have to say, to me, makes the photo that's emailed look lifeless (and cringe-worthy...as Baldy asked us to say so in the other thread) compared to being on the original black background which really helps to make images pop out due to the stark contrast. Also, I use the Black Arts theme and the original email look was aesthetically consistent with this as there is no green in that theme at all.

Thanks Andy:)

The off-grey-green background

I suspect that you might need to adjust your monitor, there's no green in this at all...

I think maybe because I dislike it so much, it appears green to me when put side by side next to the gorgeous black:)

Regardless though, having the original black as an option would be great :thumb

I just discovered the greatness of the email function (tracks stats!) and like the new color better than the black. Black in an email is so overbearing.

Hopefully soon we can get some custom templates for the emails. I wish they looked a little more friendly and matched my smugmug site using the white theme.
