I have higher website standards for any project related to graphics rendering. Ogre's homepage with its white text over the yellow to green gradient background image is a bit of a disappointment. My vision is not bad, but I needed to select to read the text.

Which pales when compared to the sin of overriding scroll behavior.

I disabled smooth scroll on my browser because I hate it. Yet the page somehow brings it back.

Wait, I remember the site you're talking about. But it's been redesigned, as of me clicking on it now. It looks much more modern.

GP is talking about the current homepage which shows the following text over a colored background:

> Since 2001, OGRE has grown to become one of the most popular open-source graphics rendering engines, and has been used in a large number of production projects, in such diverse areas as games, simulators, educational software, interactive art, scientific visualisation, and others.

I had bigger problems reading the light green hyperlinks on white background. Weird, considering contrast is very reasonable otherwise.
