I have confirmation from somebody who knows more about CSS than I do: Yeah, most text color seems to be set to #555555 or #5e5e5e. So the tiny text on the Sourceforge page IS grey. The unanswerable question then is: For pity's sake, Why? I also asked him: Is there something in the Sourceforge CSS that prevents linelength from changing when the window is resized? The pages have fixed widths, so they're ignoring the width of the browser window. I had a good moan to him: Tiny grey text amid acres of blank page is a real peeve, especially for people whose eyesight is no longer that of a 23-year-old. And it seems to be a widespread fashion among web-designers for the past couple of years. Grrrr. You could use a user stylesheet to override that kind of thing if you like. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk
