I changed my signature awhile ago to help promote the projects I work on. However, recently I've begun to feel like the background colors might be too annoying. I don't know if there is any kind of signature etiquette around here? Are you more likely to ignore it if it's too obnoxious? What can I do to improve it while still displaying my projects?

I would ignore the message for being non-new once I had already read it and determined I had no immediate interest to pursue logo design, webcam girls, or new soap, even if it didn't have those colors.  Though, the soap is pretty cool.

I don't find them obnoxious to the point I'd ever complain.  I'd find it annoying if the font size was big, but it's not.

It reminds me of a few Chinese restaurants in town that set their "OPEN" signs to blink.  When I see an "OPEN" sign blinking, it makes me wonder if they set it to blink on purpose because they think that if the sign isn't blinking, I won't want to eat there because I will mistakenly think the restaurant is closed, even in the middle of mealtime hours.  Or perhaps that I won't notice that there's a restaurant there, save but for the blinking open sign.  It's not a crime, and it's not annoying, it's just not my personal preference.  It's just unelegant, if I had to be asked how to describe it.  I do so many unelegant things myself though (like dress like a geek because I am one), so it's not like I have room to complain or anything.  It is entirely possible that in Chinese culture, the blinking sign is viewed as attractive on its own merits, which would serve as a possible reason that I observe this disproportionately in Chinese restaurants.

I have no problem with the background colors, save for the fact that since I'm using the dark theme, the text is white, and therefore invisible in the glow. All I see are three blocks of color. For instance:

Test text for testing the text

Test text for testing the text

Both probably look the same, or very similar to you. But to me, the bottom one looks like:

Test text for testing the text

Looks perfectly fine, if it was big font and colors I'd probably be annoyed though.

It is fine, just make it on one line with dividers like this: |

No i don't find it annoying , as long as it's small.

But hey I was wondering , how did you do that ? the background thing ? I tried to do that on mine but i can't.. i 've tried ? [bgcolor = "blue"] hi [/bgcolor] doesn'twork

You use "glow"
