User Style Sheets for Better Web Browsing

Filed under: News, Note To Self — December 13, 2009

It should be a simple thing. Make any website you’re reading more comfortable to read. Unfortunately this isn’t easy – it’s a mess. I was reading A Logic Named Joe and wished I could have some more leading (more space between the lines of text). I thought “great, I’ll just download a style sheet that will give me some more leading”. After searching for more than half an hour, the best I could find was User Agent Style Sheets: Basics and Samples with links to default style sheets from the W3C. I’ll have to download one of them and tweak the leading to my satisfaction, then tell Safari to use it. Thanks Jens Meiert for the article. I think a better way to do this sort of thing would be for Safari and other browsers to have a more robust set of appearance controls rather than just text size.
