New BBS feature? - 24/02/2004 20:52

I just noticed the crayola icon. Bottom left corner of Firebird browser.
Some of the alternate themes are a bit well... bright... contrasty...

I guess I'll stick with the Empeg BBS Default.

::ahem:: Don't you mean FireFox 0.8??

(yeah, still have to download that. my Netscape 4.75 isn't cutting it 100% anymore)

So, is that a firefox-specific feature? Nice, anyway...

Is that the same as the "View->Use Style" menu on Mozilla 1.6?

Yes. Just slightly easier to get to.

It's not a new feature of the BBS. It's not even a new feature for Mozilla/FireFox, just a new UI.

I think Tom may have added some more Styles recently, though.

This only in Firebird, or Firefox as well? I can't find anywhere in Firefox to view alternate stylesheets.. (And I remember seeing it somewhere...)

The icon changes depending on which skin you're using. On my Firefox skin, it's a pair of sunglasses in the lower left corner.

I've had it there for a few months now. Basicially I just plugged in the W3C standard code for specifying alternate stylesheets.

IE just doesn't happen to support that part of the W3C standard though.

Go figure. Now that I know about this, I'll be using it more in my sites..

Yeaup. That was it. The theme I was using had no icon for it, so there was nothing there.

Cool!

'Display Preferences' under 'My Home' at the top of the BBS display.
