Dreamwidth styles

[eruthros]

If you, like me, find dreamwidth's zesty style unpleasant to read, you might be interested in a dreamwidth-specific style=mine bookmarklet. There's the style=mine text up on the navigation bar, but I often scroll halfway down a page before realizing that if the story is that long, I really need a different style now -- this is easier for me than scrolling up and scrolling back down again.

If you have the same behaviors, make a bookmark and put this in the location field:

javascript:if(location.hostname.indexOf('dreamwidth.org')%20>=%200){location.search+=(location.search?'&':'?')+'style=mine';}

After you save, hitting it should do your reload.

Also, if you are not a fan of the current styles, there's a new style -- transmogrified -- which permits more color change.

Or there's this really easy to follow style import guide. It took me about five minutes, and I find styles really confusing, so!

And, there's even a new site scheme for vertical-scheme folks, which you can switch to at the display section of your manage account page. I don't like the fonts much, as one of them is unattractive and the other forces a lot of white space at the top of my display, but I like the colors and I have been using Vertigo on lj so I'm used to the vertical-scheme layout.

Oh. Oh, thank you!!! "My style" doesn't help me much, because I'm really... non-techy, so my style is one of the two on the style page, lol. So I'm thrilled you posted these links, because I can probably at least change the color! And perhaps even more...

Oh, and you also have some stuff about horizontal and vertical, hmmm, okay, new things to figure out, yay!

Thanks!

(I think I should offer to be DW's "regular person" site tester, lol. Although honestly, I know so much more than I did a few years ago about this stuff. But still...things that are simple and intuitive to many are still mysterious to me. *g*)

No problem! I'm also pretty non-techy, so I'm always pleased when I like a style that already exists. :)

Thank you so much for finding the vertical site scheme. I still use Dystopia on LJ. *is a dinosaur*

Yeah, I use Vertigo on lj -- it took me a while to get used to it, but I really like it now. My screen layout is such that I have TONS of horizontal space, but the vertical space is much under much higher demand :)
