web pages

January 14th 2009 01:15 am

I’ve noticed that many web pages will set a foreground color but assume the background is white. Or (more common) they will set a background color and assume the text is black.

Well, that is horrible for the dark color scheme I use, at least in Konqueror. Remember kids, if you set either of the text or background colors for a web page, you should set them both.

    The bug for this on bugs.kde.org (53885) has been NEW since 2003. Could we make KHTML ignore system colors in rendering pages?

    Good advice, though I’m pretty sure that your system colors should *not* affect an area, where HTML gets rendered. You won’t redo all sites over the internet, so, let them look like presumed by webmasters originally (even if their suggestion that default colors are always black on white is incorrect).

    Any webdesigner who doesn’t use a CSS reset stylesheet (sets standards across renderers and browsers) is obviously not an experienced one. That’s the _real_ problem.
