Invent a color scheme !

Post by **Phineus** » Thu Nov 28, 2002 4:34 pm

I'm working on the track page and got to the point of color schemes. I think I can make it so you can have a choice of your own colors and it will stick if I use a cookie

unlike the printer friendly idea at the mtmg which must be reset for each page view. So, here's your chance to influence what you see. Here's the basic info for the page styles.

PAGE
text=
bgcolor=
link=
alink=
hover=
background=

TABLE
border-color:

HEADER.1
color:
background-color:

HEADER.2
color:
background-color:

I've been using a single underline to mark the rows, but I suppose alternating background colors are a possibility.

I'm going to make up a couple myself, but if you post your color choices I should be able to put those in too. The only tips I'll offer are to make the link hover color so it contrasts sharply with the text and background colors. And give the scheme a name.

No ideas or suggestions? That's okay too. But I thought this could be a fun way to personalize the page, and if it works well, maybe even the whole mtmg site.

P.S. Check the bottom right corner of the track page J

P.P.S. oops, sorry all you ie users M ... get a browser, it looks great in NS.

Fila, it works in ie but the button to get it there easily won't cooperate - makes it kinda tough to reset if you don't like it or want to see anything else. Try a direct link tho, and you'll get the idea.
