color scheme

Why do those that choose always choose such hideous colour combinations?
Im color blind and it is still hideous.

Same here. Color of the titles is just horrible.

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

What color would you suggest?

[GreatDanton]

Black would be great =)

Links don't have to be a special colour, people understand about clicking on thread titles on a forum. This is not 1993.

Here, enjoy your black links in your firefox (If cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css 2> /dev/null has output I don't suggest running this)

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/;mkdir chrome;echo -e '@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);\n@-moz-document url-prefix("http://ubuntuforums.org/") {\n\tbody a {\n\t\tcolor:black!important;\n\t}\n}' > chrome/userContent.css;cd;echo "Now restart firefox and enjoy your black links"

to change the color:

sed 's/old_color/new_color/' -i ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css

in this case old_color would be black
to go back to default

rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css

Thank you. It's perfect now.

i doubt you can see the links in my signature without putting you mouse over the text, probably affected the header as well

[GreatDanton]

You are right. Links looks the same as text.

you are welcome to lean a little CSS <- that is a link BTW

gedit ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css

replace gedit with your preferred editor, i like geany <- that is a link BTW
The element targeting in css works like this (just the basics)

body a {

the A element (a tags are links) must be contained in the body element (the body element contains all visible parts of a web page)

body a#someID {

this modification requires the link to have a id attribute with the value "someID"

.someClass {

this requires the target element to have the class attribute with a value of "someClass"

p > a {

this will affect all links (A tag) that are directly inside of a paragraph element (P tag)

p > a, div span {

commas can be used specify multiple targets
