The Joy of User Stylesheets
I have a large high-res monitor and after I bought it, in order to read type that Web Designers had forced into miniscule proportions, I had to set a preference in my browser so that fonts display no smaller than 14pt.
Because of this large base font-size quite a lot of sites visually break somewhat, especially recently as sites are ever increasingly being re-coded with table-less/css designs — it seems most CSS authors don’t seem to take into account (or don’t care) that I can control the font size and break their fragile layouts — I’ve been meaning to write something lengthy about this.
In the mean time smh.com.au has just re-designed again and guess what…#@%!… well it’s not as bad as some, but a little distracting so to work around it (and have my way with some ‘features’ I could do without) I used the Safari Stand plug-in to add a site specific user stylesheet to it.
I read SMH.com.au everyday so it’s worth time to fix, other sites that visually break just don’t get read that much.
