Ok. I seem to be having some real problems today :) There is a link from the main page straight to the Wx::Frame tutorial, under the NEWS section. http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl Sorry for wasting everyone''s time :( Robert _________________________________________________________________ Getting married?

It would help if you could give specific feedback for which colors you dislike, or what classes of text are problematic (headings, code, etc.) I was easily able to make the text unreadable by choosing different colors. My guess is that you have unusual foreground or background colors selected. I can see that the .css file makes the all-too-common mistake of setting a foreground without also setting the background, and setting the background without setting the foreground. Bottom line: 1. It would be great if the .css owner could update it to never set a foreground without background, or vice versa. 2. John: Especially if my comments don''t apply to you, but even if they do, more details would be helpful. Thanks, Kevin

I was trying to somewhat match the wxWindows, er... wxWidgets color scheme. I don''t have the bandwidth to do anything about it right now, but if you want to make whatever changes you like and send it to me, I''ll make sure it gets updated on RubyForge. Curt

There was no technical problem. My complaint was only that the page incorporates a brownish red, which clashes very noisily with the bright red and blue. I meant my criticism more constructively than I worded it. My apologies. This patch matches the link text to the wx''y blue, and turns visited links lighter blue. I did actually test the effects on my machine, but not others. Since these changes are based a color that''s already in the css, we should be ok.

Thanks for the CSS update, I''ll get it posted to RubyForge. Curt John Platte wrote:> > On 2004 May 12, at 22:57, Curt Hibbs wrote: > > >> 2.
