mozilla on win, and fonts on codewalkers

hi all..

until recently, i didn't use mozilla as my primary web browser, since version 1.0 that i had didn't work very well with the proxy i am behind.

since 1.2 (when bug was probably fixed), i am using mozilla as my primary browser on w2k, but one thing anoyed me on this site:

in a forum listing of topics, an old topic with new posts is printed using the same color as old topics without new posts (red), but with a <I> and <B> tags around it.

that is all fine, but with my mozilla on my win2k, and with matts choice of font sizes, old topics with new posts are rendered only in <I>talic, and not <B>olded. look at picture:



as you can see, topic labeled 'auto_increment' is rendered only as <I>talic, and not <B>old.

this makes it reather hard to destinguish visualy which old topics have new posts...

this is fixable easy if i change font zoom to slightly bigger of smaller font (90% or 120%), but i didn't like that solution..



i added this 3 lines to the userContent.css file in my mozilla profile directory, under 'chrome' subdir, and it now look like this:





well, why this long post for such a small thing. well, i did this in 5 minutes of investigating codewalkers html (also with mozilla - dom browser), and was very plesently surprised with the results, and the amount to which mozilla is customizable.

i felt so good, i wanted to share things with you, in case you use mozilla on w2k, and have a similar problem (or any other platform maybe?)


i plan to change this kind of small things for other sites i visit often, and wanted to give you some help to do it yourself if you ever want to...

here is the whole file, but only that 3 lines are not commented right now (that is example file that came with mozila).


also, you can use CSS to change mozilla user inteface itself.

i changed the url-bar font to fixed width, and red, again with only 3-4 lines. you can turn red off, but i think that monospaced font is very good in the url-bar..


(put both files in your mozilla profile directory, in chrome subdir. for me, it was Eocuments And SettingsAdministratorApplication DataMozillaProfilesdefaultklkdsjf.sltChrome)
