I converted the weblog templates over to Cascading Style Sheets. That meant I could put a little style sheet selector on the left hand menu. Currently, the style sheets only affect the main weblog page, and archived pages. I'll be tinkering with them for quite some time, so your feedback is appreciated.
Also, the style sheet sets a cookie on your hard disk, so when you come back here, the selection should stick.
Currently the other style sheets are just meant to give people options that may be easier on the eyes. I eventually hope to make them full color themes, so the colors may change slightly. Also, since the comments are pulled up via CGI script, the custom style sheets don't seem to work on them. Therefore the comments will always be in the originial style sheet, no matter which one you have selected.
Ahh, the greenish hue is much better on my eyes!

Posted by: Da Goddess at March 3, 2003 2:55 PMThe stylesheets work in my comments.... it's just a matter of getting the javascript into the templates.
I can't remember if the cookie works... I think it doesn't because it conflicts with the actual comments cookie, but the option is there to switch it....
I found it easier to put the javascript in a separate file within MT, then link it in each template... I explained it here if you're interested.

Perhaps I'll try that. Thanks for the input.
