--- Comment #20 from Aryeh Gregor <[email protected]> 2009-11-29 16:58:34 UTC --- As of r59550, it's possible to change the background color on a per-<math> basis using \pagecolor and \definecolor. (In reply to comment #18) > Could it not be possible to have per skin settings like > [[MediaWiki:Math-foreground/Monobook]] and > [[MediaWiki:Math-background/Monobook]]? That should solve the black-on-black > problem stated in comment #1. The problem with transparent math backgrounds is IE6 at this point. Black-on-black styles isn't a problem, since the style can just do .tex { background: white } to get the same display as now (in non-IE6 browsers). But alpha transparency doesn't work on IE6, and it's not acceptable to degrade display of all math articles for 15% of our users, for the sake of a tiny number of users viewing equations outside of mainspace, or otherwise on non-white backgrounds. If someone can come up with a PNG transparency fix for IE6 that doesn't degrade performance or otherwise cause problems, even on pages with hundreds of equations, then we can use that. Otherwise, we won't (IMO) output transparent backgrounds by default until IE6 falls to, say, <1% market share. But if someone wants to submit a patch that allows configuration of default math background color in LocalSettings.php, possibly including an off-by-default option to make it transparent, that would be fine, which is why this bug is still open. I'm willing to review it if it's reasonably short (I shouldn't think it would be more than 20 lines). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
