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

Please tell me why you so like alabaster? Your page has no colors, if there was only goo you could use lovely toned pastle shades for your text.

Can anyone explain? (oh the woe)

It's designed to conform with all h2g2 standards, ie. let the parser choose the colours when it changes it into the skin being viewed. That way nobody has to strain their eyes reading yellow on white or anything like that

And the Alabaster House was called the Alabaster House because Classic Goo House didn't sound right... and there's already many monuments to Goo on h2g2 so I thought it was high time Alabaster got a mention

I personally have no preference between Goo and Alabaster. I use the Alabaster skin but only for practical reasons, as it loads a lot faster on my doddering internet connection.

Hmm, well OK then.

What we need is a was to specify font color for each skin. Like:

Now that would really be ideal. Who's in charge here that I can suggest this to?

There's a feature suggestion area in the Feedback section I believe. But they haven't done something like that before, because they plan on introducing new skins in the future (and the Guide is viewable on a range of devices, not only HTML browsers); and so they don't want to have pages which won't work properly in the future. The best way to do that is to keep it simple and have standards we can conform to.

Boring, I know, but it's the content that matters, not the image. That's what I like about h2g2

Oh. Still. It's a great shame.
