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

My "Dark" stylesheet has been updated at http://peet.port5.com/dark.css - Jim, I notice you've hardcoded the BBC's "disclaimer" text as black...? I had to put a dark grey edge round the page just to make it apparent that it was there, but it's not too readable. How about a ".disclaimer" in the CSS?

Hub is evil green!

I've tried them all, and I keep trying. I'm never one to just dismiss things out of hand (well, I am, but that's neither here nor there). But goo is my ultimate favourite. The others just have too many hard edges and lines. Too much white background and evil colours like nuclear green and red.

I'll stick with my pretty blue goo. It's slow, but it's nice and organic and wibbly.

I tried goo yesterday. The buttons to the left were too small

Do these work? I'm on a TW Digibox, can't see any change

I just want a white text on a blue background, links without the "graphic mess"

Using either one, the links are underlined and there is black text on a white background.

Only variants of the original CSS that Jim linked to earlier will work here. See what you think of my black-and-grey monstrosity: http://peet.port5.com/dark.css

There are a few f/x that won't show on a Digibox, but it should definitely get you pale text on a dark background.

NEXT PROBLEM of a Digibox.

Only site access that Telewest allow. Luck would have it, interactive function for a BBC related object uses an URL that is 'allowed'.

Using an e-mail anchor, for BBC sites access. eg.

Why would there be non-computer users on hootoo? - Read about Leisure District .

If the stylesheet looks any good when it's "finished", I'll see if Jim can find it in his heart to host it somewhere off a BBC server, so you Telewest types can see it too...

I'll be happy to host useful variants on our servers.

I don't know about Digiboxes, but the "Plain" skin doesn't work properly in Netscape 4.x, with or without additional stylesheets.

Without specifying a stylesheet, it's readable, but the banner is positioned waaaaay off to the left; with a stylesheet it picks up on the background colour, but goes its own way with text and link colours and fonts.

Netscape.

If you just want white text on a blue background why not use:

as suggested earlier?

"I'll be happy to host useful variants on our servers."

But what about my soon to be released "Thingite" version?

Jim: ...and the skins/editblue.css for Digibox Plain skin (with gold link colour) is...

"But what about my soon to be released "Thingite" version?"

I said 'Useful'

Posted, then read what you said.

Yea read back log...

Cus, cus, cus, it don't work, nothing changes.

BTW, this skin and stylesheet is most definitely *not* designed for Netscape 4.

Despite the fact that Netscape 4.x users, who are almost all using archaic machines that can't run anything better, are those most in need of a graphics-light skin...

How about a "reallyplain" skin that looks like a TTY, just for them?

As long as it's readable in Netscape 4.7, that's all I care about. It might not look perfect, but you can use it.

I've just tried this in Netscape 4.

The headers/subheaders aren't displayed in a different font to the body text, and the font colour using Goostyle.css is black, not white, making almost all the text illegible!
