It's fun! For a minute, earlier, I had B.Org in VT100 emulation mode (black background! green text! fixed-width font!) but its novelty died quickly.
The grey background is very pleasant on my eyes, though, and will remain.

Dumb question: If we want to implement personal css, do we have to copy the entirety of what was posted earlier by ita (the buffista.css) and then make edits to that? Or do we only post the parts of that code that have actually been edited?
Only post the parts you have edited (posting the whole thing won't hurt; it's just wasteful).

This.
(like the individual characters are farther apart)I don't know why this would be so, but you can play around with this using the following.
body {
letter-spacing: -1px;
}
It definitely makes the letters closer together!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, if you want something to truly disappear, you can try { display: none}. That's where my quotes and images went, to make my page as work-friendly as possible.
Hmm, Jon--it's be possible to make the coloured borders around the buttons CSS instead, and then my pages could go totally monochrome.
Just an idle thought.

.edited-by { color: #FFFFFF;}
suh-nerk.
I have a whole new thing to be cranky about! I've tweaked the spoiler-font color so I don't have to select it with the mouse, and SOME PEOPLE have been hand-coding the color instead. Ahem.
(In all seriousness: if you're going to fiddle with the background color and you don't want to be spoiled, change .spoiler {font-color} to match!) (And use the spoiler-font shortcut, whether you're css-tweaking or not.)

Interesting... I could redo all the buttons in photoshop as greyscale. Something to put on the wishlist. I'm burned out from all this Sunday coding.

Hey. New board.
Do the buttons even need to be images? Can you make entire sized divs clickable?

I know! I've occasionally gently brought this to people's attention, but habits are hard to change.

Instead of making new images, what about replacing the graphical buttons with a button style class? They're a little disconcerting now that I have no verdana, red, or square corners anywhere else.
