Colours and Sizes

Ok, as promised I’ve tinkered around a little more with the style sheets. I’ve not been able to get the light dark switcher onto every page… it’s mainly the add comments pop-ups that won’t work. This it appears is because they’re CGI created on the fly, and so the cookie is in a different domain to normal.

If you’re really desperate for me to change this, let me know and I’ll work on adding a dark-light choice on those pages, which you’ll have to set too… then it should work on both. As I say, let me know.

I’ve also got around to changing the text sizes. Before it was using fixed font sizes, which means that any attempt to “zoom”, using IE’s Font Size choice would do nothing at all. Now they’re variable sized, so you can zoom to your hearts content. The choices of sizes isn’t quite so precise with variable fonts, so you may notice some subtle size changes.

Anyhow, if there’s anything further I can do, let me know, and we’ll see what we can do.

Phil,

Thanks for the font change. It really does help readability to use relative sizes since you can not know what works best for everyone. So allowing them to choose their own size solves that problem quite nicely.

Aloha - Dan
