Matters of taste

Already for years anyone have had a possibility to use Stylish browser extension and something like Ipernity Dark Skin originally developed by Spotomy. That has provided a nice option for geeks like me, to view pages in dim light. Dark background and lighter fonts provide sort of an inverted layout to view pages, which also can be found as more friendly for the eyes.

If you already use Stylish, or are interested to use it, you may wish to find out what styles there are available for the ipernity web site:

userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=ipernity&type=false

So far the option to change the page and font colors has been either the plain default white provided by ipernity, or possible only for geeks who know how to install and use Stylish.

Now thanks to Rob, we all have easy to use options to change the page colors. One may argue it violates one's own user account space here at ipernity. However, the user does not "own" the page or font colors.

This is now the first step to let the user to change the background colors more easily. Later on it may become possible to change also the font colors.

So, you may like it or not, but your audience can now do something as hideous (or nice) as this:



The ipernity club member can now change their personal preference of page background, margin (sides) and comment section background colors:



Keep in mind that these page color preferences affects only the way how the individual user wishes to view the pages. So, if someone wishes to view ipernity on pink background, it does not change the way how all others sees the pages.

Moreover, as ipernity club member you can still decide what is the layout and color theme on your personal account pages (your banner image, title bar text and color, and so called title bar colors on your own pages). And that is how all others will see your ipernity account pages.

For example currently I have decided to use one of my images on the banner, light, almost transparent background behind the title, and black background on sub title bars:



All this is more or less the same as if the user would get to decide on what color paper they like to print their news paper. One could for example print out this page onto pink paper. However, the contents, texts and images are still the same for all.
