Black background, white text?

The logo still sucks though. And who chose these colors? I can't even name all shades of lavender-lesbian-lilac this site is covered in. And I'm pretty sure it's not websafe either.

Does anyone know enough JS to write a Greasemonkey script that inverts the colors?

I started doing that first, but since they only take effect after the page has loaded, it's really disconcerting.

As for the colours, yeah, the ones I chose are pretty awful. I only really picked the post background colours, the rest I chose in a fairly random manner, just to change them and see what would happen.

If you're not using Opera you could use a firefox add-on like (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4242) Accessibar which allows to dynamically change the colors for text elements and background in a webpage.

Or you could just use a custom user stylesheet, like I used to make that screenshot. I assume Firefox supports those, too?

So far the Accessibar Firefox add-on is doing great things for me, thanks for the recommendation Briareos. :)

But between page loads the default theme shows up for a split second, like a white flash. I can get used to it though.

Firefox users that find high contrast themes easier to look at; Firefox + Accessibar is fantastic!
But I think you should keep up the good work, Nameless Voice, because I'm using Firefox doesn't mean everyone else is. :p Plus I don't consider this a bulletproof solution, having a high contrast theme built into the forum system is a better one imo.

Not without an extension like (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60) Webdeveloper or (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108) Stylish.

And I didn't mean your colors but TTLG's default. I'm quite used to the lavender after years of looking at it. But strictly speaking it's an eyesore. Oh well.

Oh, I had assumed it was the same as Opera, where it took me a while to figure out: you can have either 'Author mode' or 'User mode', but can configure 'User mode' to use both Author mode and user mode stylesheets; the author mode style takes precedance but anything marked !important in the user stylesheet will override the author-mode stylesheet (e.g. the website's default).

Actually Firefox does. Stylish et al are merely an easy way to manage them.

Care to explain how? Because all I found was a way to customise ALL webpages via Profile/chrome/userContent.css
The "!important" part is the same in FF btw.

EDIT: nvm, I figured it out.

Code:

@-moz-document domain(ttlg.com) {
body {
background: black !important;
color: white !important;
}
}
