Netscape 7.0

Help appreciated! Cannot change preferences in "colors ", such as links visited. They all remain same. I really need it in my work!

Help!

 

On the same page you selected colors, choose "use my chosen colors....... "

I couldn't change just the links colors either.

 

Bmoore,

Thanks! I don't want to change the total look of all websites.

Not being able to change "preferences" in the "color" category is definitely a problem. Never had a problem with any other version of Netscape!

 

In edit/preferences/appearance/colors, are the colors set the way you wish, even after a restart of N7?

Do you have an example of a site where above preferences are not used? All sites do not obey your color preferences if the site has already specified colors for visited/not visited links.

Tranquilo,

I use default colors for websites. I work on the administration side of a website, lengthy lists, and have always had my "visited links" in a red color because there is NO way to keep track of where I have been without that preference.

I have had every version of Netscape previously and NEVER had a problem
changing the "visited links" color.

Also visit a particular message board and my "visited link" color has always shown which I have read. Not so with Netscape 7.0

 

Until a solution is found, would this workaround help?

Make a userContent.css (text) file and add the following lines, then restart N7:

:visited{
color: red !important;
}


The usercontent.css file is located in your chrome or us\chrome directory, which is in your N7 profile directory (there may be a usercontent-example.css file already there).

Have you tried creating a new profile (as a test) and verifying the problem still exists?

Thanks Tranquilo!

I am going to try both! One at a time, of course!

Will let you know how I make out!

 

Hi Tranquilo!

I'm baaaaack!

Took your advice and created a new profile. Got all my 2500 emails in, bookmarks, and addresses and my "links visited" color works fine........

Have so many emails that I HAVE to keep for my work! 87 countries involved!

Thanks again! Too bad "import" doesn't work for ANY version of Netscape!

Happy as a little lark!

 

Good to hear that a new profile worked!
