Sorry. :(
CSS can be enabled on the Options/Prefs. & Perfs. setup page.
(upper-left side just under "Display Frames")
CSS == Cascading Style Sheets.
They are simply small bits of HTML code which can be used in many
different pages.
The advantage of using CSS is that we can change the look (skin), of all
of the pages by simply changeing the one CSS file.
Here's the code in saveas.ah
<html>
<TITLE>Save or send document</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://skin.css">
<BODY BGCOLOR=BLACK TEXT=BLACK>
<!--save-->
<TABLE CELLSPACING=1 BORDER FRAME="void">
<TD class="topbar" bgcolor=silver ALIGN=RIGHT>
If CSS is not enabled, the "top bar" of the save box will have
a backgrund color of silver.
If on the other hand CSS *is* enabled, then the BGCOLR will be taken from
the 'topbar' section of skin.css located in the arachne_main directory.
--- my currently used 'SKIN' is Xchaos.skn (Michael likes silver)---
.topbar
{
background-color:silver;
}
.midbar
{
background-color:silver;
}

--- caverge.skn (Clarence likes gray) ---
.topbar
{
background-color:gray;
}
.midbar
{
background-color:gray;
}
_____________________
--- blue.skn (someone else [not me], might like blue) ---
.topbar
{
background-color:blue;
}
.midbar
{
background-color:blue;
}

This line in mime.cfg simply copies any .SKN file we link-to
over to skin.css, instantly changing the 'skin' of all internal
Arachne setup pages and function pages.
These are all of the pages I have placed this option into.
