Re: [css-d] Creating your own stylesheet for a website
Sarah, I go to a website fairly regularly and their styles are horrible. It's just too painful for me to look at anymore. Is there away for me to create a Stylesheet for it and have my browser automatically override there styles? I know to many of you this might sound horrible but don't worry no designers feelings will get hurt... I'm sure that no designers were used in making the site. If you are using Firefox, you could try the Stylish add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 Stylish allows easy management of user styles. User styles empower your browsing experience by letting you fix ugly sites, customize the look of your browser or mail client, or just have fun. With an online repository at userstyles.org, you don't even need to know how to write styles yourself; just a couple clicks and the chosen style is applied. Stylish is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript, and unlike other methods of using user styles, most styles take effect immediately.

No time to create a user style sheet for each. My fast and dirty method makes the hideous and grotesque instantly readable, functional, and usable: Opera browserviewstyleuser mode. Firefox with Web Developer Toolbar: Ctrl-Shift-L turns off all stylesheets. Firefox without any add-on: View menu Page Style No style. Safari also has such an option. Turn on the debug menu, the option is: Develop menu disable styles This is an interesting experiment: http://lab.arc90.com/2009/03/readability.php Because face it, for the average user, user stylesheet are hard, very hard. To keep the whole thing relatively on topic: 1. the ability to disable page styling is interesting to analyse how muchyour page is structurally sound (does the page depends on page styling/css to make sense ?). 2. Question: how much do you think about the possibility of userstyles interfering with your stylesheets when you develop a site ?

Yes, but it depends on your browser. Firefox, for example, makes it very easy to do and a search for user stylesheet will probably suffice; example: http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/ht/htcssuserfirefo.htm There are also plugins available which will allow you to supply per-site user stylesheets. I know to many of you this might sound horrible It /should/ sound delightful to most of us, after all it's a key part of the 'C' in 'CSS' :) Unfortunately, no browser supports it very well (IMHO) which is a real shame. P.S. I think this might be considered dangerously close to off-topic, since this list is intended for discussion surrounding specific CSS behaviour rather than more general issues. - Bobby __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

See: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=UserStylesheets http://webdesign.about.com/od/userstylesheets/a/aa010906.htm ...for how to guidance. FWIW: I use Opera, which lets me set up 'site preferences' to automatically control any site with whatever combination of author/user stylesheets and whatnot I like. Sure comes handy - even if there happens to be a designer behind a site's own styles :-) regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

User stylesheet is what you're looking for. For my personal use I have a 1500 lines user stylesheet to override a number of barbarities (did I mention I hate microscopically small type ?). If your browser is Firefox, it has to be stored in yourprofile/ randomnumber/crome/userContent.css Firefox (and other Gecko based browsers) have some very handy css- extension, that allows to limit styles to one particular site (or URL): @-moz-document https://developer.mozilla.org/index.php?title=En/CSS:%40-moz-document Safari and Opera also have decent support for user stylesheet.
