    Post Changelog: Black background with white text?

    Hello, I was wondering if it could be made so the changelog at shardstorm is shown with a black background with white text? To me it would make it much easier to read for extended periods of time.

    I just think it would make it readable and reduce the chance of damaging peoples eyes from eye strain lol , that way you will still have some testers with eye sight when ZC 2.5 comes out .

    Does a temporary Ctrl+A do anything for you? That might not be enough.

    If you're using Firefox, you can just change the default text and background colors in your preferences. And, of course, there's always Greasemonkey.

    oooh, nice tips there, thanks :)

    EDIT: that changes multiple things, so that isn't a viable solution unless it can be a per page setting >.>"

    You could just copy everything in MS word then change the text color to white and make the background black.

    GreaseMonkey allows you to apply userscripts to individual pages in the form of Javascript. It sounds like a really simple thing to do, but I've never used Javascript a day in my life, so...

    I've actually been trying to get into it for a while now, but I can't find any resources that are intuitive. Everything I've been able to get my hands on either:

    A. Assumes you've been using Javascript since before the internet was invented.

    B. Uses methods that are impractical for GreaseMonkey (Every last resource I've come across has shown everything in the context of how to manipulate your own web pages. With GreaseMonkey, you don't have the ability to modify the web page source yourself.)

    After an hour of deciphering tech-speakz, I managed to get this far:

    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#1f1f1f";

    Nothing else I've tried with changing the text color has worked. Everything is telling me to assign text color by the body IDs, and the Shardstorm page either doesn't have any or I'm too much of a noob to find them in the source.

    Dunno, try this:

    Code:
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "black";
    document.body.style.color = "white";
    The changelog is a very HTML 3ish page, full of font tags and other nastiness that isn't very hackable, but that should work.

    I don't actually have greasemonkey yet, but I'll grab it and test this when I do.

    However, I should point out that I prefer the black on white text, myself.

    Edit: Yup, works like a charm. However, there's no easy way to change the link colours, or the red timestamps...
