A bodge is to highlight the text, that sometimes works.

Got a problem... guess there is an answer but can't seem to find it.

Silly people

create sites with black backgrounds, then plonk grey text on it... or Dark blue text.

In Oregano, If I tick Off the "Use Document colours" the black background is replaced with white and I can see the grey text.

Is there a comparable option in NetSurf? I'm using NS (02 Dec 2007 06:00)

Nope, they look okay to me. But wait! Netsurf renders the colours wrongly and the _always_underlined_links_ are dark blue, rather than the chosen hue of pale green (see any other browser).

NetSurf has never supported link colours set as attributes in the BODY tag. If you set them in the STYLE tag, they will work.

<style> body { background-color:#000000; color: #ffffff; }

a:link { color: #ccffcc; }

a:visited { color: #ffffcc; }

a:active { color: #ffcccc; } </style>

That does in CSS what you currently do in the BODY tag.

Rather than spending time nagging us, you could spend that time formulating a patch to make NetSurf do this and submit it to us.

Presumably you would give a similar response if I said "Aah but it's all generic C, not ARM/RO in this case". So instead I shall urge you to file a bug on the bug tracker instead.

Okay, so our text isn't the darkest blue in Netsurf, and there's more white than grey text. Is it legible? > Is there a comparable option in NetSurf? I'm using NS (02 Dec 2007 > 06:00) Maybe NS assumes eyes and a monitor of the highest quality? ;-) (There are times I would like to apply gamma adjustment to web pages, to see dark pictures or over-exposed ones without having to download and fiddle with an editor. Not such a problem with my new spectacles. ;-)) I wonder how many web sites are developed on new LCDs, rather than ratty old ray-tubes such as the example on my right: it has an okay picture as long as the case has a sharp blow once in a while. It struggles with the RiscPC's apparently 'weak' output and it's old, it's burnt in and it's dying. <checks all web sites on CRT> Nope, they look okay to me. But wait! Netsurf renders the colours wrongly and the _always_underlined_links_ are dark blue, rather than the chosen hue of pale green (see any other browser). So you maybe don't need to be able to disable colours, you perhaps need to be able to turn them on!!!

Someone else can hunt around the bug-tracker for that one, I'm off to bed.
