[Solved] how to turn the archlinux forum black?

coda · 2008-12-15 21:49:52

hi, goes anyone know of a way to turn the archlinux forums black?

I enjoy reading the forums but have trouble reading for extended periods because the white colour scheme is very bright and hurts my eyes.

I've seen scripts for gmail, google etc at userscripts.org for use with firefox stylish and greasemonkey anything out there for the arch forums?

Or any other alternatives?

You could always write your own. CSS is easy.

coda · 2008-12-15 23:42:24

I will look at writing my own, I have to go now, have to be up in 4 hours to go to work

I'll get back to you...

I've started something similar couple of days before.
So far I've only worked on home page, but plan is to transfer it to wiki, forums and others.

I don't know much about css and web design, but I think it looks pretty decent:

All suggestions about design are welcome.

You can get the Stylish extension, and look for a dark style on userstyles.org.
Below is the style I am using at the moment. It makes everything terminal-like, so it is a godsend on my eyes.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://), url-prefix(https://) {
  * {
    color: white !important;
    background: none !important;
    background-color: black !important;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
  }
  a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active, li {
    font-weight: normal !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
  }
  a:link {
    color: yellow !important;
  }
  a:visited {
    color: olive !important;
  } 
  a:hover {
    color: lime !important;
  }
  a:active {
    color: green !important;
  }
  input, select, button {
    background: black !important;
    color: red !important;
  }
  b, strong {
    color: lime !important;
  }
  i, em {
    color: green !important;
  }
}

wow Hrwa you read my mind! Perfect colour scheme very well done. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work on this project

@Wintervenom just tryed your code, It works great, now I can read all night long and my eyes won't hurt, Brilliant.

Many thanks for posting guys.

EDIT#1

@Wintervenom your script made all sites black so I changed it for just archlinux and tweaked the colors.

I'm glad you like it.

Home and wiki pages are almost done, but there is still lot of work left on other pages.
Unfortunately I don't have much time right now, so hopefully it will be finished next week.

Does this work in x86-64?
