It could be loaded in addition to the winehq_styles.css (where is this file anyway?) in content_print.template, this will solve the entire problem and ensures the site would look at its best.

For some reason I got your patch only half an hour ago so I was absolutely
sure you sent it way later...

It is actually a linked CSS file...
I used @import ("styles.css") in order to maintain the original CSS, its the
same approach you took only from a different point of view and practically
there's no difference... (I can switch the method in a matter of click :) ).

I will accept and admit your accusation of me not being psychic in sensing your incoming patches. Your patches are, indeed, more comprehensive than mine, but I believe they are inferior in at least one important aspect. You direct the code to load styles-rtl.css instead of styles.css. This encourages future site maintainers to perform changes to the CSS that will break the RTL version of it, due to not noticing the existence of the rtl version. I believe the approach I took, of including styles.css, and then including a second css only aimed at correcting the what needs to be corrected, would work better in the long run. Another manifestation of this difference can be seen when you place a "dir=" directive on the tag of "content_print.template". This is change does not pass strict HTML validation, and would be unnecessary had the two CSS approaches been used. Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting Ltd. http://www.lingnu.com

Waste of time, there are several objects that should be LTR (like the news list) and some images that need to be flipped horizontally, plus I have already done all the stuff I said, basically this patch is useless...
