AnimeIowa Forums be Stylish

Posted by Mark | Filed under Software, Web Design

The title on this post is some­what mis­lead­ing. The default stylings of Ani­meIowa’s forums make my eyes blee, espe­cially after some of the forum mem­bers have taken it upon them­selves to give their words extra fea­tures ugli­ness. E.g. putting bright, yel­low text on top of a dark blue back­ground. For­tu­nately, I do 99.9999% of my web brows­ing using Fire­fox and there exists an exten­sion for Fire­fox that will over­ride any given site’s default CSS with the CSS you spec­ify. This means peo­ple can do things like take the CSS which makes CoffeeBear.net so lovely and with a few tweaks turn this…

Into this…

And all it took was the Styl­ish exten­sion and this lit­tle bit of CSS:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("animeiowa.com") {
html {
color: #0F0F0F !important;
}
body {
color: #0F0F0F !important;
background-color: #FFF !important;
}
a:link {color: #D57100 !important;
text-decoration:none !important;
}
a:visited {color: #459045 !important;
text-decoration:none !important;
border-bottom:none !important;
}
a:hover, a:active {
color:#6F2314 !important;
text-decoration:underline !important;
}
table tr td {
background-color: #F1EFFF !important;
color: #0F0F0F !important;
}
font {
color: #000 !important;
}
font .quote {
background-color: #FEFFBF !important;
}
font .catbg {
background-color: #F1EFFF !important;
}
}

Don’t believe this makes that much dif­fer­ence? Then try it out your­self, your bleed­ing eyes will thank you.
