So, if you read in a fluorescently overbright office, you will probably prefer black on white color scheme. Since most web pages are black on white, as a confirmed cave dweller I've been forced to apply my own custom CSS to all pages:<br />http://fennetic.net/irc/override.css<br /><br />It turns the background dark gray and the foreground light gray and sets the font size to a reasonable level. Of course this is easy enough to do in firefox without any CSS stuff..fennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017675004076463594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325300274115265117.post-43968236214502629892009-03-10T20:13:00.000-06:002009-03-10T20:13:00.000-06:00As I was working today, I noticed that NASA's Web ...As I was working today, I noticed that NASA's Web sites have white text on black.

And, I have to admit, I WAS rather fond of it, too. Will mull this over a few more days...watch for possible backpedaling on the "new look" later this week.Raimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817382167424203932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325300274115265117.post-74226775868593107302009-03-10T10:37:00.000-06:002009-03-10T10:37:00.000-06:00Heck, my blog is white text on a brown background!...Heck, my blog is white text on a brown background! I've sometimes worried that, compared to all the black-on-white blogs, visiting mine might seem like stepping into a dark room, which is not the effect I want. But now that I see your transition, I fear your new look has lost some of its uniqueness. I liked the black because it matched the mystery and allure of fractals and physics, and set off the pretty rainbow colors in the fractal images! But don't count me as an expert ...

What we won't put up with for vanity. One of the other blogs mine links to is white on black, and I continue to read it - perhaps perversely attracted by the difficulty.Churchmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068746668900588918noreply@blogger.com
