stryd_one Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I am currently typing black text on a black background. My posts are much more interesting now ;DSeriously though, can we change the forum CSS or something so that the textboxes and dropdown lists and such use the system colours? (IE Window and WindowText for background and text colour respectively)Pardon the brief posts but it's not so fun hitting CTRL+A all the time.

stryd_one Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 LOLWell I'll tell the whole story....I was checking out the programmer's font thread, and someone mentioned the white-on-black colour scheme. I thought "I tried that ongce and it was sh*t". Later, I was looking around for my own favourite font, I came across more and more examples of programmers opting for the colour-on-black schemes. This led me to wonder ,"why the heck?". So I did my homework. Long story short, colour on black is easier on the eyes. Being as how I spend >12 hours a day on my PC I thought "Heck, it's worth another try. I'll stick with it for a bit this time and give it a fair trial." So I did. And I really liked it. So I changed my system colours in windows. .... Most apps are OK with it, some of the apps at work are crap, and some websites go a bit mentil.... But the only one I really care about is midibox :)I could use some user-styling app to fix it I guess, but it is a bug, so I thought I'd post about fixing it up....

audiocommander Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 really?I'm always suffering badly when I have to read white text on a black screen, because I still see white stripes - well five minutes after I looked at the screen.Anyway: aren't there some CSS modifiers for the browser of your choice? For Safari, there's Safari Stand which can alter almost any CSS. I'm sure, there's something for Firefox, dunno about IE...Cheers,Michael=> 8) hehe...

It should be fixed IMO. It's just changing the word "black" to the word "WindowText" and the word "white" to "Window" in the existing CSS, for the effected areas (textboxes and lists.)
