Hey. New board.

Not yet, really, billytea. I've been looking at the buffista.css source here: [link] and playing around, with the help of CSS Googling.

ita, in terms of the map thing: for some reason, it appears that I (and Jessica?) are loading [link] for all of my markers (including the one representing myself) instead of [link] and [link] I'm not sure why that would be, since it was showing me transparent icons, including the blue one, earlier today. From what I can tell via googling, markerff.gif is supposed to be for print use only, but it's appearing on our screen. Very odd.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ok. Would it, hypothetically, work to take that code you linked to, plonk it in the 'edit personal css' input box, and then make changes to it as desired?

Hey. New board.

Yes. I'd go ahead and delete the things you DON'T want to change, while you're at it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It would work fine, but it'd be unnecessarily slow -- the only parts you actually need are the changed bits, and it'll take anything you're keeping the same from the main stylesheet.

Ah, nice to know. Thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you mappy people tell me if you see the same thing here: [link] and [link] ?

Billytea, here's one CSS font tutorial. And there's also the w3 schools.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nope. The first one has non-transparent rectangles around the markers and the 2nd one doesn't have the rectangles but the markers look like they're in one of those funhouse mirrors that make you look tall and skinny.

You know what would be great for this effort? Some sort of tool that shows you what your browser is seeing--so if you hover your cursor over any element it tells you the class/id in effect so you can go off and edit your css sheet appropriately to hit that precise bit.

The Web Developer add-on for Firefox does exactly that. Among many other shiny things. I wouldn't touch code without it, anymore.
