something along those lines??? I haven't checked them all but many
of these themes look pretty funky in Netscape 4.
Netscape 4 is (i'm afraid i cannot put it more delicately) a piece of
junk when it comes to CSS. It blatantly ignores the standard, it's full
of bugs, and its release did untold damage to the Web by delaying the
adoption of CSS for many years.
Probably tens of thousands of person-hours of work have been wasted all
over the world because of the incompetence of the Netscape programmers.
For users who still suffer with Netscape 4, the best solution is likely
for some kind soul who still runs NN 4 (i don't have it any more) to
develop a theme that specifically works around its problems. We may be
able to throw in a user-agent check that chooses a different default
theme when the user is running NN 4.
