Ah now stylesheet changer widgets... as a user I just *love* them. I
suffer from dry eye syndrome and white backgrounds are too bright
(imagine that your eyes are spot welded to the screen). I don't want to
override the author's styles completely; I just need an occasional
change from black on bright white (I actually find white text on a black
background far easier to use).
I used to regularly go to view>page style but there's rarely an
alternative so I gave up looking. Having a style changer on the page is
great because it alerts me to the fact that there are other styles
available.
