colors

[Jürgen Wind]

as i have difficulties to distiguish between a new and a visited item
(blue and a bit less blue), i'd like to be able to switch to an style
- like some month ago - when i had clear red and blue links
(maybe from my browser setting). I also  would like to be able to choose a different font-size
and font-family (Arial) on my personal settings.

thx in advance!

The color scheme of Nabble is the same as before. New links are blue, and visited links are purple. Please let me know if that's not what you see. Did you browser setting change recently?

I believe you can do this through your browser setting as well. In FireFox, go to Options->Content->Fonts and Colors->Advanced... there you can find a check box to uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..."

Do this answer your question?

yes , i did it in my browser, but as i need it only on your site, because the two
link colors are nearly undistinguishable (at least for my eyes) i liked the previous
design (red and blue) much more.
And  in firefox i need 5 clicks to change the settings
and another 5 clicks to restore after visiting nabble.
why don't you just leave out setting a color for a.visited and/or a.link (or what it is called)
in the css? Then the default browser settings take effect.

Sorry I misunderstood what you said before. We did make a change to the site.css file to explicitly specify link colors in order to facilitate skin customization, without realizing that this would affect situation like yours. So, yes, we will remove those color specifications and it will change to the same as before.

Regarding the fonts, sorry, we need to set default font family. You will need to use your browser to overwrite ours. The font size of Nabble is completely proportional.

ok
font-size is no big deal ( as it's a problem on many sites i 'm used to it , using Ctrl+ in FF),
altough it's easiely managable by a user cookie
like on http://pma.cihar.com/HEAD-config/ (phpMyAdmin).

What is an eye strain in the font-family you are using at the moment
is the smal horizontal spacing (between characters). why not leave font settings to
the user or a forthcoming selectable skin and only offer "sans-serif" as standard?

i really appreciate your efforts and responsiveness !

thx for giving me back the default linkcolors!
