That's what defaults are all about, after all. (I wouldn't even _want_ to override the page's colours, except that most pages actively specify reverse-video colours. I don't understand why.) > I'd be rather concerned about why everything on your system is for > some reason defaulting to inverse video and needs to be over-ridden > to make it usable... It defaults to reverse video presumably for the same reason everything else does these days: that seems to be what most people have come to expect. (It's baffling to me why; the one UX person I've spoken with about the issue actually agreed with me.) The "make it usable" part needs, of course, to have a "for me" qualifier attached; I had assumed that was implicitly understood here, as of course it should be for pretty much any user-usability issue. I suspect most people have become accustomed to having large areas of bright on their screens. Maybe they like eyestrain? [Only half sarcastic....] Of course, it doesn't matter much what the defaults are, as long as it's easy to change them. It's the changing-them part that led me to write to the list. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
