Default background page removal

Bill,

Is it possible to remove the background graphic from this site?


That depends on your browser.

In my version of FireFox I can select, from the toolbar at the top,
"view" - "Page style" - "no style" (as others mentioned).

I can also select "reader mode" (the open book icon at the right of the bar
showing the URL).

I can also right-click, "inspect element", select the "body" element and
erase "background" properies contents :-)

And again depending on the browser you could make the change more permanent.

In my case I've got a plugin called "Grease Monkey" installed, by which I
can use JavaScript on a selected page to alter its contents - including
deleting the above-mentioned "background" propery from the "body" element.

In short: Depending on what you have and can do you have a number of
possibilities.

All good!

Briefly, just dragging your mouse across the text in question, so that
it is highlighted, will often make it legible. (This sometimes reveals
text that is totally invisible!)

I also have a plugin on my old Firefox called Dark Backgrounds Changer,
which provides a button which on three selective presses, cycles round
from yellow text on black, white text on black, and back to original;
I'm sure there are many other similar plugins, for modern Firefox and
for other browsers.
