Would it be possible to lighten up the highlighting colors a bit by
adding more white to them? The highly saturated colors are hell on
the eyes. A small hint of color is nice. Too much and it becomes
hard to read. Yes I know there are some web authoring documents with
lists of color for compatibility with 16-color VGA-only framebuffers.
Ignore them.
Another serious problem, at least for me, is the font sizes. Many
sections are specified in *pixels* instead points. That is pretty
evil. Folks with 100dpi monitors (or shudder, 133dpi) get boned. I
found myself zooming to 120% or 150% just to get readable fonts for
some of the examples. (ref:
http://twiki.ntp.org//pub/TWiki/GnuSkin/twikiblue.css search for
"font-size" and see all of them that are specified in "px" instead of
"pt").
Even changing the fonts to use a specified point size is still a bit
sub-optimal since the user may have selected a bigger font-size than
normal due to bad eyesight. I'd prefer to see relative font size
specs only with the "normal" text size being whatever the user's
browser has selected.)
