If you want to customize the new layout...

Nov 12, 2006 12:08AM PST

If you want to customize the colors of the new Cnet forums design, including the colors of the text, links, and green backgrounds, I would recommend clicking here for some code that was created by C1ay.

Notes:
1.) It only works with Firefox and Netscape. (Sorry IE users.)
2.) To find out more about which file to edit and where it's located click here.
3.) C1ay's code will not affect your web browsing in general...it only modifies the colors in the Cnet forums.
4.) C1ay's code will turn all text black, all links black, and the green background/highlights grey.
5.) You must restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

If you have any questions or would like help customizing the colors feel free to ask in the thread C1ay started in SE or here.

Hope this helps.
John

I'm using C1ay's stylesheet now. Although I was quite happy about things as they were, I have to say that this has made the forums easier to view.

Here's the screenshot. I've reduced the image size a bit for file size reasons and saved it as a GIF to avoid JPEG compression. Still 130Kb unfortunately but it's large (ish) with enough definition so you can see it clearly:

You could just delete or rename the userContent.css file or you can edit it to make things look the way you want.....
