Reading websites in Firefox SOLVED

[kah5683]

Is it just me, or is it much harder to read websites that have a black background with white text?  Searched around a little and didn't see an answer for changing this to be able to read.  Is there a way to change the color of a website I am visiting so I can read better?  I know I can copy and paste into Writer, but that is a pain.

I did run into this post:

http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200608/light_text_on_dark_background_vs_readability/

where it says:

Web colors are not like the mattress tags you can’t remove. If it’s less than readable, I zap the colors with this bookmarklet. Just stick it up in your toolbar, use as needed.

javascript:(function(){var newSS, styles=’* { background: white ! important; color: black !important } :link, :link * { color: #0000EE !important } :visited, :visited * { color: #551A8B !important }’; if(document.createStyleSheet) { document.createStyleSheet(%22javascript:’%22+styles+%22’%22); } else { newSS=document.createElement(‘link’); newSS.rel=’stylesheet’; newSS.href=’data:text/css,’+escape(styles); document.getElementsByTagName(%22head%22)[0].appendChild(newSS); } })();

Not sure if we can use or not...

Seems  to be pure javascript, so I don't see why not.  You probably will need to install Greasemonkey (a script manager) first.

The zap scripts come from a web page.  They are javascript, I understand.  You don't need greasemonkey or stylish to use them.  There is one that changes the page to black and white but the result is not as clear as I would like.  I have altered one of the scripts to change the page background to a colour I like and use that one often.

Thanks for the link ternor.  I just dragged and dropped what I wanted on my bookmarks toolbar and it works great!  They have a bunch of fixes at that link, and instructions on how to download and use them all at once.  This will make my surfing easier.
