The object of using the PrefBar is not to set (a checkbox) permanently,
but to *toggle* a setting when you get to one of those sites where you
don't like the colors. Then when you go somewhere else, you restore the
color checkbox to "checked." Once you get used to it, you just toggle
when appropriate. I think nothing about reaching for the mouse when I
get to some yokel's site with red text on a blue background...

You can't set cookies, only the web page can do that. And no, I don't
know of any other way to manage colors on a site by site basis. You
might be able to write some complicated user CSS for single sites only
(each and every one), but the trouble of doing so is well beyond easy
for those not experienced in CSS.
