Alt. title - "Midnight Surfing Lite". Bound to mess things up. Mainly tested on Firefox (G. Chrome users beware)

Simpler and smaller (about 1/2 file size), with very minor color changes.

Compared to the original, performance is worse when dealing with icons. When having to give objects solid BG colors - it's better (gives it to objects that need it) or worse (obscures elements, thus interferes with functionality/usage).

More Info

Hopefully, it's not convoluted enough to discourage people to edit to their liking.

Look for a:link to change link color. ( I recommend #76AFD5 )
Look for /* Base */ , edit value color: #CCC to change color of text.

To change most of a page's main/dominant background color, find an early list of elements until you come across

/* Popup divs that use visibility: hidden and display: none */
div[style*="display: block"],
div[style*="visibility: visible"]

{background-color: #1a1a1a !important;}

Change #1a1a1a to what you prefer.

Some websites use a nested table layout - Look for table table to change how a table looks.

/* :::::: Tables, cells :::::: */

table table {background: #212121 !important;}

Update log ========================

2012-04-20 - Notably, slightly improved Youtube HTML5 player appearance. Covered ::first-line and ::first-letter pseudo selectors. Fixed an issue with NoScript-blocked .swf objects. Selectors added - li ul , span[class*="note"]
2011-10-17 - Worked around the problem with the HTML5 player @ Youtube. However, because of the fix, XUL elements won't be styled. So something like Fx add-on Resurrect Page's buttons on neterror screens will not be styled. Combined "DIV" with some classes.[April 2012] Huh? I thought the player was under XUL namespace. Guess not.
2011-08-24 - Simply added "div" to [class*="description"]
2011-05-14 - Merged some selectors and properties. Reduced brightness of th, caption BG color.
2011-05-08 - Increased specificity of lightbox fix.
2011-05-07 - applied opacity to scrollbars, switched namespace order.
2011-05-04 - Removed color property from code,pre etc.
