Angstrom. The Ableton web designer that never was.

I like. But I'm using Safari currently.

I have a few silly little things that shit me about each browser, but I always seem to end up back on Safari. I just wish you could choose right click> "search with google in new tab" like the others. Seems like a ludicrous omission these days.

after you control click to get the window with "search with Google" before you click, hold down the Command (apple) key. Viola, new tab with your search.

Thanks very much! Now it's perfect.

For Safari I tweaked the Chrome code to get the old style bold black links back (Angstrom's look more elegant, but are harder to distinguish from non-links/text:

changed:

Code: Select all

a, a:link{color:#000000!important;font-weight:90!important;}
a:hover{color:#000000!important}

If there's a better way, tell me. I've never dealt with that stuff before. Just peeked inside, changed it & it works… (I'm awesome! )


full code to paste:

Code: Select all

body{background-color:#95A2AB!important;color:#43423D!important;font-weight:100!important;font-size:90%;}
.searchbar a{font-size:1.2em!important;}
a, a:link{color:#000000!important;font-weight:90!important;}
a:hover{color:#000000!important}

#pagecontent a:visited, .tablebg a:visited{color:#7F8D98!important;}
#wrapheader{padding:0!important;}

div#wrapheader div#menubar div.gensmall{display:none;}
.titles{font-weight:100!important;}
.row1,

th{background:#D8DDE0!important;color:#403E39!important;font-weight:100!important;font-size:1.2em;}
html body.ltr div#wrapcentre div#pagecontent table.tablebg tbody tr th{color:#43423D!important;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:100!important;}

.genmed{padding: 10px 20px!important;}
.cornerbr, .cornerbl, .cornertl{display:none!important;}

I also found an old Safari Extension for site-specific CSS stylesheets (so only the Ableton forum style changes & not every site).

http://code.grid.in.th/ -> User CSS -> User CSS.safariextz

As the aged User CSS unluckily stores it's settings in /Users/you/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/ which gets deleted every time you reset Safari (IIRC since Safari 5.1.x = after the release of this old extension), you have to do this:

- quit Safari

- delete everything inside /Users/you/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/

- open Safari & enable Extensions (Safari - Preferences - Extensions if you haven't already)

- install downloaded User CSS.safariextz by doubleclicking it

- then only open the Ableton forum - no other links

- ctrl-click in background of Ableton forum & select" Manage User CSS" -> new tab opens with User CSS settings window

- paste the code from above into the Styles box

- paste "https://forum.ableton.com/*" in the URLs box (not the "" - had just to post it that way so the text shows up correctly here)

- name new User Css template "Ableton Forum" & save it

- highlight the LocalStorage folder in Finder get Info (cmd-I) & lock it (had mine locked for over a year anyway - don't want/need …)

- for further changes unlock it again & procedure as above...

don't forget to set: Safari - Preferences - Advanced - Style-Sheet: "nothing" first

best to save a Text Edit plain text file with the original & tweaked code in case you have to redo cuz you forgot to lock the LocalStorage folder & reset Safari

If you have an older Safari & have to rely on LocalStorage this might not be practicable for you...

after you control click to get the window with "search with Google" before you click, hold down the Command (apple) key. Viola, new tab with your search.

Even better:

open System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts Tab - Services - Search - activate "search with Google" - create shortcut (here ctrl-G)

now highlight text in Safari - hit ctrl-G -> Google search opens in new tab

Is it possible to change it on the iPad? Safari or Opera, or maybe Crome..

My eyes are hurtin!

[nebulae]

Any way we can have this fixed in Safari? The new color scheme really makes me want to kill kittens while they are sleeping.

You can use Chrome script - copy it >start text edit> new>change to txt >paste the Chrome script, save it as ableton.css, open Safari preferences> advanced select the saved css.
There must be some way to make for the forum only, hopefully someone can write how to. Otherwise everything will use the css (which is not too bad, Ebay becomes more readable)
