how to change the way sites look in your firefox browser - GoFuckYourself.com

Anybody?

I'm so sick and tired of all 17" of my monitor being covered with BLINDING WHITE backgrounds, how do you screw with the CSS or whatever and replace all white Bg's with gray or something? I'd like to make Dreamweaver do the same thing, if anybody knows how!

If you're trying to make pages look the way they were designed in Internet Explorer you should use Internet Explorer

Wolfy · 01-15-2005, 12:04 AM

no i want to override the site's bgcolor.

like when you look at this page - some crappy white background link - the bg color is white. I want it to show up on my screen as something less blinding like gray (cccccc instead of ffffff)

Wolfy · 01-15-2005, 12:08 AM

or even more relevant to my world - google.com! I use google a LOT and it blinds me, I want to change the background to something less painfull pleeeeeeeeeeease someone suck my fignature or tell me how to do this, I'll love you either way!

Hmm, sometimes I use View->Page Style->No Style; but that turns the background white anyways. There should be a way to do it, I'd look on a Mozilla board not gfy.

I never maximize my browser - I have a 17" monitor as well with 1280x1024 resolution - my browser probably takes up 750x550 or something.

Rarely have to scroll left/right and don't worry about too much white space and can't actually get to icons on the desktop w/o have to minimize/show desktop all the time.

Tools, options, General, Fonts and Colors....Text and Background...change background to what you want, leave use system colors unchecked, check always use my colors.....

you are done.

Dragon Curve · 01-15-2005, 02:06 AM

Maybe reduce the brightness/contrast levels on your monitor if you find it so "blinding." I find white backgrounds quite soothing so it may be your monitor.

Thank you, that did almost everything I wanted it to. When I open a new window I don't get blinded - my eyes thank you

I had a young girl that worked for me, and one day she asked for the next day off... I ask her why do you need the day off... she tells me 2 look for another job.

I tell her sure you can have it off and don't bother coming back on Wed. because you don't have a job here any more.
