Yes. Just in case the response got stuck in a spamfilter: You may use my css-file as you please. It is however Firefox 3 specific (for the rounded corners anyway) since I saw no reason for cross-browser coding.

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

Great. Thanks again. For the record, as you may have noticed, I'm breaking the links to the left.

You wouldn't happen to know if it's possible to override

ul.linkcluster li::first-letter {
  color: #990000;
}

without explicitly stating the colour? I mean, to just erase settings for an attribute as if they'd never been written?

No, sorry. I'm not sure whether it is even possible to unset attributes that don't support "none".

It would seem logical that it should be possible, wouldn't it? Or am I overwishing again?

It would appear so. But on the other hand, haven't we all?

I can't set the colour explicitly, because sometimes the text is a link, so who knows what colour it's supposed to be. Man, the whole set of :: functionality seemed so cool, but it's been a bit of a headache today.

Maybe I'm approaching it wrong. Must think more.

Well, what exactly are you trying to do?

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

You see the links in the right hand panel that have the red plusses in front of them? I wanted to make those lists of links be actual lists instead, and use CSS generation to create the red plus. Which, with ::before and ::first-letter was simple enough to do.

But how would I override that to remove the red plusses in a successive style sheet? I can remove the plus easily enough, but I can't turn off the red first letter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You mean the left hand panel, right?

Of course I do.
