h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Pastey raised (in the Syntax Error thread) the possibility of adding the scrolling link colour as a Gadget. Here's an example http://www.h2g2.com/A167870

Strangely enough , no one so far has said they like the effect

I suppose code like this (written by non h2g2ers with a copyright notice) raises the issue of copyright in Gadgets.

I liked it or I wouldn't have used it. I changed it to my colours, though. Part of the reason I liked it is that I really dislike the default link colours in goo, as displayed on the uni monitors.

Actually, I don't particularly dislike the visual effect - it's the way my 'puter grinds to a halt on some versions where there's a "million" colours & a fast cycle time in the routine.

It probably has something to do with the way I run my 'puter - multiple process's running all the time

I have those colours on my page but I don't visit my page anymore because it crashes my computer. If this was made into a Gadget then lots of people would have it on their pages and I wouldn't be able to go to any userpages.

Have you thought of editing it out of your page?

Yes, I did that after The Change (), but it was ugly and everyone said it looked better before...

Anyway I like being difficult

Fair enough then
