[req] Filter for barely legible text on dark bgnd

[leecovuk]

Hello again everyone,

You know those annoying sites where they have something like grey text on a brown background, or something like that? I really have no idea why they do it, seeing as they are barely legible.

Is there a filter or method for forcing the style to something like white text on the same background, or maybe black text on a white background?
I appreciate and doubt, however, that a generic method could work for all sites.

All I do at the moment in Firefox, is select 'No style' from the dropdown 'View' and 'Page Style' menus, but that usually breaks the page generally.

Thanks for any wisdom,
Lee

i'll try the previous two post fixes later on...
but i do have a fix that i already implement for STUPID background colors that make text unreadable...

i use the SAME background for ALL web pages by DISABLING "body backgrounds" with

Code:

Name = "Header Top Inject: User CSS - Disable Body Background [add]"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)"
Limit = 16
Match = "(^(^<ProxHdrTop>))$STOP()"
Replace = "<style type="text/css">"
          "body {"
          "    background: none !important;"
          "    }"
          "</style>\n"

then axing CSS backgrounds with

Code:

Name = "CSS: Remove CSS Backgrounds [add]"
Active = TRUE
URL = "($TYPE(htm)|$TYPE(css))"
Limit = 256
Match = "backgroun(d)\3(-image : url| : ([^ ;}]+ |)url)\1"
        "$NEST(\($TST(tStyle=*), $AV(\0) ,\))"
Replace = "background\1(http://local.ptron/killed.gif)"

coupled with these

Code:

Name = "Dim: White Backgrounds {2.d} (modified) [add]"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "^$TST(keyword=(*.a_wbg.*))"
Limit = 32
Match = "(b(gcolor=|ackground(-color|) : ))\1("|'|)\3"
        "((white|((#|)(f[a-f0-9]f([a-f0-9]f[a-f0-9]|(^[a-z0-9]))))))(;|"|'|)\2"
Replace = "\1\3#EDEAD9\2"

Name = "Dim: Specific Dark Backgrounds [add]"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "^$TST(keyword=(*.a_wbg.*))"
Limit = 32
Match = "(b(gcolor=|ackground(-color|) : ))\1("|'|)\3"
        "((rgb(\4)(;)\5|((#|)(3d4831|1a1c1d))))(;|"|'|)\2"
Replace = "\1\3#EDEAD9\5\2"

all coupled together, i do not get any STUPID dark text on top of a dark background... but i do, seldom, but do get white text on top of my very very faint gray background that i use on ALL web sites, there is no background differences from one site to the next for me, the entire web universe uses #EDEAD9... and when i find one, i just add it to the specific filter

[ProxRocks]

of course, prior to the #EDEAD9 fix, i used to use GreenBrowser's "reverse colors" plugin, that at least made the web page "readable"...

edit: oh, and Window's "display properties" defaults my backgrounds to #EDEAD9 if the web page itself doesn't define it...

[leecovuk]

Thanks very much for these helpful replies.
I will give them all a go later. It's nice to have some possibilities.

not sure what browser you are using, but if you are using GreenBrowser, the bookmarklets %20's need replaced with spaces ( ) and the %22's need replaced with quotes (") for it to work as a GB plugin...

that's a nice addin to my plugin bar, i'm still fiddling with Siamese's filters, as i prefer the plugin bar to be a 'last resort' and would rather have Proxo do everything "for me"...

My favorite fix for that is using the topographic view. I remember Sidki has it in its menu.

Anyway here is the code for the bookmarklet respecting background images:

Code:

javascript:(function(){function%20crawl(e,%20r){if%20(e.nodeType!=1)return;var%20ch%20=%20e.firstChild;while%20(ch!=null){crawl(ch,%20r+1);ch=%20ch.nextSibling;}if(r>15)%20c='#FCC';else%20var%20c%20='#'+r.toString(16)+r.toString(16)+r.toString(16);if(r>9)e.style.color='#000';else%20e.style.color='#FFF';e.style.backgroundColor=c;e.style.borderColor=c;}crawl(document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0],%200);})()
