MSFN UI gets brighter and larger with each update. Hence more blurry and hard to read.

i don't have blur issues he presents

When brightness increases, it adds blurriness, colours become washed out. It's not real blurriness per se.

lol isnt the lemon yellow ?
unless you compare it to his avatar or bottom right "got it" button
they are more washed out than "that tile" yellow

Lemon is light yellow, all colours are now lighter. I wrote in the comment, and I emphasised on that, you probably failed to read.

I think I found something for you, if you are really interesting in doing a Deep Dive.

Right-click on top of "Saxon" where you cite the text as too bright, access the "Inspect" and scroll down to this section.

The toggle these two entries and report your findings on "brightness".  I have a hunch that once you disable "text-shadow", the brightness returns to what you are used to seeing.

Very unsharp fonts on this screenshot. Blurry fonts.

uhh one could argue what is real lemon color

same with that screenshot, even if it is PNG everything looks like crappy compressed JPG
can't do comparison based on that

Agreed!  That's why I follow Supermium, to return GDI FONT RENDERING to Win10!

There is this (https://github.com/GTANAdam/GDIChromium) but it's not been updated since Chrome version 103 and it's not "ungoogled".

The "ungoogling" of Supermium has not matured yet, still very much buggy-beta.

I checked non-legacy Thorium 117, which has nothing to do with Supermium, now also plain Google Chrome 128, they both render those parts grey.

I also checked the archived version of the website on Wayback Machine from January, new Chrome renders it brighter, old Chrome renders it darker.

Also, these two versions are only ones that were tested by Chromium devs and vetted by larger population. Anything Chromium past version 109 that runs on pre-Win10 is unofficial and is vetted by much smaller population.

But Saxon is citing "same browser".  So I'm still confused.

I can not reproduce the brightness difference here.  My OS is set to LIGHT.

The Saxon text he is referring to is white text on dark blackground with OS set to LIGHT.  Even the HTML code reveals PURE WHITE (color: #fff).  By his screencap, it REMAINS as white text on dark background with the OS set to DARK.

Hey members, "members" (one more time, in the new "style"), I love how you both completely ignore the increased size of the UI, fonts, replaced buttons to the absolutely flat ones, but got glued to the brightness subject.

Edge colours are the proper ones, they are tuned by the pros for using in Windows, Gonna argue about that fact, too?

And it seems this gigantic tiles "style" infects many sites all over the web. Probably made by the same company.

Speaking solely for myself, I did not ignore.  This may be a "geolocation" issue.  You may be being served different content.  NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR ME.  NO NEW UI, NO FONTS DIFFERENCES, NO BUTTON DIFFERENCES.

Maybe your country is the guinea pig?  And the rest of us will see these changes in a week or two?  But for now, nothing has changed for me.

maybe its microsoft ploy to get you off vista

maybe secret syndicate is ploting against your country so you switch to linux

maybe your browser is ...

Same, the only difference I see from the copy of the site from January is the written theme name in the footer: IPS Theme by IPSFocus

BTW, just added this to my stylesheet:

li[data-role="group"] {
  display: none;
}

Now topic pages are like before when there was no extra text for group membership.

In all fairness, it was better like it was before, and the little image/badge is blurry only because of the increased brightness, but the image itself is the same.

Try to watch a video with text, pause it, add some brightness, see it becomes more blurry,

I'm from another country (GB), the brightness did increase. Areas where it was black are now dark grey.

And I'm on Windows 8.1, unlike the OP. It has nothing to do with OS.
