A small tweak to DC forum for Firefox & K-meleon users (enhances visited links)
app103:
I like the look of the forum, and its colors but sometimes the lack of contrast between visited/unvisited links makes the visited links not obvious enough for me.
So I created a tweak to userContent.css that can be used in both Firefox and k-Meleon to change the visited link color from a lighter shade of blue, to purple. This doesn't affect all visited links on the site because that really looked bad. It just affects some of them...the ones I feel are the most important to have more contrast on.
Installing it is relatively simple.
Firefox:
In your Firefox profile folder is a userContent.css file (might not be there if you never set it up before, but there is an example file with a slightly different name)
Path to file:
on Win2k/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(your name)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random looking chars].default\chrome\userContent.css
on Vista/Win7: C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random looking chars].default\chrome\userContent.css
* Open the file in Notepad (or create the file if it doesn't exist) and paste in the code, save, and restart your browser.
K-Meleon:
* Go to the Edit menu in K-Meleon, and under Configuration, select User-Defined Stylesheet. This will open a file named userContent.css in Notepad.
* In the userContent.css file, go all the way to the bottom and locate the line that tells you not to edit anything below it.
* Paste in the code right above that line and save the file.
* Restart your browser.
The code:

thanks app, makes life a lot easier, i use various firefox and windows themes so colours get a bit confused at times. For any one else who cuts and pastes like I did, it put in a lot of # characters between lines which need to be removed.
