Colour switch

By Mandrill | Published November 14, 2006

I’ve been toying with trying this for a while but it was Naomi from The Martian that spurred me into action. White on black is still my chosen colour scheme but to save people getting eye strain I’ve added the option of inverting (or as near as) all the colours on the site. let me know what you think.
I got the tutorial on how to do it here but would add the following caveats:

  • Specify absolute paths for your stylesheets.
  • Include the styleswitcher.js inline in your page, don’t just link to it

I hope you find this easier on the eyes Naomi :)

    Ah but we're both young Grant. Older readers (sorry Naomi, your secret's out) may find it difficult to read simply because the muscles and other mechanisms of their eyes aren't as responsive to changes in brightness as ours. Also the cells of the retina which pick up contrast aren't as numerous which makes small black things easier to pick out when seen against a light background.
  • hi there, i like the colour switcher but, i think the other is to bright i prefer the whit on black like you! :P
