Help with S2 styles

[triskellian]

cuthbertcross says my journal displays as black-on-black for her. For me it's a perfectly sensible, fairly minimal, black-on-white.

It's the style called 'A sturdy gesture' under the S2 style system, and it's in the default theme (plain black and white), although now I've prodded it a bit more, it turns out that the 'preview' page shows it with solid black title boxes at the top of each entry box, and I don't seem to have that, but still.

Anyone got any ideas why my journal doesn't like cuthbertcross?

One of the things that not many people seem to realise is that you can (or used to be able to) put an override in the header and thus link to an external stylesheet. From that point on there are obviously hundereds of whizzy shiny things that you can do to make the page look vastly better, including, I would assume, trying to override their stylesheets font sizes.

I should disclaim that I've not played with LJ layout for a very long time and not at all with S2 so I may be talking crap. :)

As for the original question, I would guess it is a case of a browser supporting or not supporting a particular piece of style information somewhere and thus rendering differently. That's usually the first bet on pages rendering differently for different people.

That was on S1. On S2 the whole customise process is different, and the non-GUI bits aren't in HTML, IIRC, so I haven't yet got round to working out how to get it to do what I want.

Anyway, I'm now using Punquin Elegant, although still in S2. Any better, bateluer and cuthbertcross?

Can't speak for others, but way more readable on my particular config.
