H2G2 Hard to Use?

Bug report: The "Who's Online" doesn't follow the stylesheet, although the "My Conversations" does. 
It's still darn fine, though, Jim.

Would it break anything vital to give us a radio button to choose whether to use light or dark smileys/images? I.e. to be able to select Goo anti-aliasing on dark backgrounds...?

(It's a lot more exciting doing this on the live site, isn't it...

Well, I'd feel guilty if it all broke, but it does have a certain 'extreme' factor.
White and Blue buttons now available.

Wonderful! Jim, I in awe! This could finally wean me off Goo, if I can just get used to the lack of frames.

It looks great Jim! One thing, I'm looking at my personal space in plain, and the blue HR extends along the rules. Oddly, the other s don't

A teeny bugette, almost not worth mentioning... Oh, what the hell... 
The "Plain" skin still says the copyright date is MMII, rather than MMIII...

Hmm. "Who's Online" seems to have gone its own way again...

A little thankyou for the Searche bar in Plain too, Jim. It was the only thing missing.

Peet - how has WO broken? Back to the grey background, green links?
I can't see that here.

Plain in the colour of Goo - thanks Jim!

Am I being dim? Only when I go into my user preferences I don't have a choice of Plain, only Alabaster, Goo and Brunel. How do I get plain skin?

To set Plain as your default skin, you need to use the Plain Skin's Preferences URL: <./>/dna/h2g2/plain/UserDetails</.>

I'm seeing WO as a white background with blue links... Currently I'm using a copy of the goostyle.css on my own space with the foreground and background colours of the "body" definition edited in Dreamweaver...
I'll revert to the original goostyle.css and see if it's my copy of the stylesheet that's broken.

When i tried plain with the "goostyle" style sheet, I was getting Who's Online as the normal white-with-blue-writing as well.

Ah - that's why I didn't notice it. It looked correct because I wasn't using goostyle. It's still using the old stylesheet for some reason.
