What display style do you use?

Jessm · 9 May 2002, 07:40 PM

Thought it'd be nice to know what everyone likes....

Good one actually, But I think Jeremy can just run one simple SELECT statement on the database and give you the exact results!

Here's a post from Mar 12:

Yes, although people generally stick with the default. Of the 19% who have a non-default style sheet, here's the break-down:
----
Grey: 21%
Dark on light: 5%
Light on dark: 8%
Soothing blues: 29%
Black and blue: 3%
Infinite blackness: 5%
Trippy: 14%
Sandy blues: 8%
Concise: 3%
Concise large: 1%
Custom: 2%

I would love to use the custom styles if there was some way of linking to it on the web rather than your hard drive.... I dont see the point of having a custom style sheet when you are on the move and cant access your own p.c

Oh cool! Thanks Jeremy!

That's a pretty interesting percentage.

I'm in the 1% range. LOL.

injinuity - Gankaku is making some new style sheets. And it sounds like Jeremy is considering putting some of them in the FastMail servers. Check out the thread if you haven't already.

No Jessm what I was referring to was that I would love using my own custom style sheets.....but the problem is that mine has to be placed on my harddrive viz. c:\custom.css ......it would be nice if we could add a link instead like http://geocities.com/injinuity/custom.css so that you can use your own style sheets when you are on the mover.

Or maybe link to a note in the notepad.

jhs · 9 May 2002, 08:47 PM

Another problem by linking to a file on your local harddrive is that it only works for IE.

I guess I'm a commoner with my soothing blues.

I use different styles on different monitors and different browsers. Somehow one style doesn't fit them all...

That's an excellent suggestion for the FastMail guys, Jinu.

I'd love to be able to do the same. Even better, be able to upload them to our own little spot on the FastMail servers... but that would probably mean paying more.

I'd love to be able to link to a stylesheet, since I'm not using IE. This would be a lovely feature.

Concise Large is my first choice, but the text are in Notepad is too small for me to read using Mozilla, so since the advent of Notepad I've switched to Trippy.

**Gankaku** · 9 May 2002, 10:14 PM

I'm also using Concise (Large coz it's easier to read). I like to either have a little bold color on my screen, or girly lavendery stuff.

So that's why I'm trying to make some different style sheets. Everyone likes customizability, and I'm definitely one of them.

johnboy00 · 10 May 2002, 03:44 AM

"Concise" is by far the most appealing to my eyes.

Jessm · 10 May 2002, 07:40 AM

Concise Large is my favorite too! Psalzer, I agree with you. The notepad text is tiny! Maybe they can change that for us.

It would be nice.
