Total blackout

Following on from the previous post about the blog's new colour scheme, and the objective to minimise the strain on the eyes, I've done some more customisation:

What's included:
  • Firefox Stylish add-on with Dark theme 2008 style - turns background colour of ALL web pages into the dark grey with light grey text and blue/purple links. To change the predominantly dark grey to black colour, go to Stylish --> Manage Styles --> Dark theme 2008--> Edit. Change the first - from the top down - colour code number from #111515 to #000000; as in:
body, span, background, select, form, td, th, tr, p, dd, dt {
background:#000000 !important;
color:#CCCCCC !important;
}
  • Firefox RedShift theme - turns the light grey of the Firefox default theme into black/red.
  • Zune theme - turns the bright blues and light greys of the Windows XP theme into black.

Moreover, on Lifehacker you can find out how to swap colours on the Notebook, and Adobe Reader. For Adobe, go to Edit --> Preferences --> Accessibility --> Replace Document Colours).

For MSWord, go to Format Menu --> Background, and then select the desired colour.

...!
