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

Hi Yeliab.

Nice page. I was reading your comments about Goo and Alibaster backgrounds. I know exactly what you mean as I have taken the time to jazz up my home page with graded green text and piccies. If you switch to alabaster then it looks the worst.

One way around it is to put up a line of text in the same blue as the message which reads "If you can see this text then you are using the wrong skin."

I believe that if you don't login to H2G2 at all then you can still read everything but can't change from the alabaster skin. Do you think that there is any chance of getting the powers that be to at least set the default skin to Goo?

I'm off to sign your light pollution pettition now.

Cya

Hay hi! :D
Cheers for the complement, much abliged.

I know ala is anoying but I have to confess that I'm actually currently asigned to that skin (shoch horror). It is you see much less obvious when at work to use a white skin which looks like a real work related site. When I finish on tuesday i will be back to Goo though, I miss it. It ahs been a useful exercise to try the other side.

I have also tryed to make my pages visible in both skins as I don't want to put off viewers. This was mainly on my h2g2 Astronomical Society pages which really need to be compatible in both. I really wish they hadn't introduced skins now. But I doubt that they will make any more. Not yet anyway.

Default to goo, hmm, not sure on that one. Are you a member of the goo fan club? Cos you could ask someone there. They might know better.

Cheers muchly,
Nick
