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

To what, DX?

If we go the pre-packaged stylesheet, I figure

  • large fonts
  • stealth (no graphics, less colour)
  • no whitefont
  • small fonts

are a good place to start. Any other ideas? Assuming, of course, if that's the way we go.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

To what, DX?

I want to be able to specify the typeface to be something other than Verdana. Either that, or not have it specify any typeface at all, so that my browser's default can kick in.

Maybe that could be a stylesheet option -- minimal? I'm not sure how much can be stripped without breaking the presentation, though. Maybe just the font.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The font for everything, or just the posts? If we limit the font changing ability to just the text of the posts, that won't break any of the presentation.

I'd rather change it all. I'm not sure it would be a problem. The only place it could really break anything is in the left column, and only if it were really a lot wider than Verdana. And nothing's wider than Verdana.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

No how. Machines just got workings, and they talk to me. Kaylee, 'Serenity'

This came up in the RQG. The first two words should be "Know how."

No they're not, beathen. That's how it is in the script.

Ok. Sorry. I interpreted it the other way.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Don't feel bad. I think that's come up before.

That's why I was able to answer quickly.
