Rubyforge colors

Hello

Could somebody, please, fix the html colors on ruby forge?

It's usually done by extending the
body { background: #fff; }
to
body { background: #fff; color: #600; }
.link { color: #a30; }
.visited { color: #a63; }

or whatever were the colors in your browser when you were designing the
page.

So far I found I cannot see large parts of wiki and project home pages.

To test you design change your browser colors (ie to black background
and text/link/visited all white which is perfectly readable).
The web page should either not change at all or change completely to the
new colors or the design is broken.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Are you using the default theme or the GForge
theme? Also, by "project home pages" do you mean the summary pages,
i.e:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/support/

or do you mean the project virtual hosts:

http://freeride.rubyforge.org/?

Thanks,

Tom

I do not know about themes, it looks much like Apple's pages to me.
Today only visited links are iunreadable in these Aqua-like pages.

But it there are going to be new themes and this one goes away ..

theme? Also, by "project home pages" do you mean the summary pages,

If pages like http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/ aren't part of rubyforge
itself it probably depends on the project maintainers what appears
there.
I have seen two pages very similar to this one (list of files, methods,
etc) but they were partially in weird colors, unlike this one.

Thanks

There's another theme available now; details on how to use this as your
default theme are here:

Yup, exactly.

Yup, the project virtual hosts are controlled by the project
developers...

Yours,

Tom
