If the screen seems dark try to increase the brightness settings of your screen

That might help, if its hard to read what he writes.

Kathryn Notson,

Thanks for the feedback. :) I'm currently in the process of replacing CSS Foundations with brand new CSS courses. These will be shorter, more digestible, and will include the Workspaces experience. CSS Basics is the first of these new courses –– stay tuned!

Kathryn Notson,

The Workspaces editor uses a white background. In CSS Foundations (recorded 2 1/2 years ago), I used the default Sublime Text 2 theme which, as you mentioned, was too dark for screencasts.

We've since corrected that and now stick to the white background. As for the text color, that's syntax highlighting, a handy feature text editors use to display certain parts of code in different colors.

I don't know how much light was in the room where you filmed your lessons, but that was a dark background, too.

We record lessons using screencasting hardware, so fortunately, the light in the room has no effect on the video. Are you referring the parts that were filmed on the set?

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the update, Guil.

I recommend not using a black background for your Workspace. Your Workspace should be white. The text would be better left black & not magenta pink & green, also.

I don't know how much light was in the room where you filmed your lessons, but that was a dark background, too.

Yes, the wood cabinetry looks nice, but somehow there was a dark shadow cast behind you. It's more prominent at the beginning of the video than at the end of the video, but it's still dark as if the lights were turned off & heavy curtains were closed.

I love the syntax highlighting features of your text editor, too. Your index.html text was in the magenta pink & green colors against a black background & it was hard to read when you used your circle pointer. It looked like a dim flashlight on the black background.

Hope this helps make your future videos better.

Guil Hernandez when the new CSS Courses are uploaded, how will we be notified? For example, I am almost finished with entirety of your older course "CSS Foundations".

I am new to treehouse and I am not sure how to keep on top of newer, more relevant information on course updates. Furthermore, if I have already completed CSS Foundations, will I be notified that a new course has replaced it so I can view the updated information?

thanks
