{"url":"https://userstyles.org/styles/610/quote-colorer-2-5","name":"Quote Colorer 2.5","description":"For sites with backgrounds *other than* something yellowish or similar to #FFFCCC, this is a good scheme for coloring quotes, or elements classed as quotes, or TD.quote, which I found is the element used for quotes on phpBB forums using SubSilver (probably most SubBlack forums too).\r\n\r\nFor example, look at the post by \"Original Intent\" (Posted - 08/14/2006 :  14:03:36   ), on http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6570 . Then look at this snapshot of what it looks like with my Quote Colorer 2.0: http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/399/quotecolorerexamplekk7.png . This is the ultra cool thing my code does. Just remember the scheme for the quote levels, and you can easily determine what the author meant with all 'dem quotes.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, if somebody quotes somebody who quotes somebody else, I have a background for that. And one step further.  Typically this is only needed in raw HTML. Forums have a nice-enough scheme for quotes that quotes-in-quotes look nice within the 1st quote element as #FFFCCC.\r\n\r\nIf you want, you can reverse the color order of the 1st and 2nd quote colors for too-bright site themes.\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nUpdate: Friday, October 6, 2006:  Perfection.\r\n\r\nYou don't need it to highlight the first element, do you?  So I leave it to be #FFFCCC hovered or not.  I've also included more code to include more variations with how stylers and coders may have capitalized \"quote\" or whatever.  I've also made the entire blockquote element embossed, inspired by another style here at userstyles.org.  take a look at how well it works on my blog http://thescienceethicist.blogspot.com , and see how easily it exposes places where the writer decided they didn't want to manually change margins and padding, so he/she used the blockquot element inside itself several times to get the desired width of a piece's body.  Such as http://nospank.net/humphrey.htm . \r\n\r\nUpdate: March 3, 2007:\r\n     Deleted unnecessary repetitive attributions.\r\n     changed some tabs to spaces in code\r\n\r\nUpdate: June 13, 2007\r\n      I was at htmldog.com and they said the css property \"outline-style\" did not work on ie/win or mozilla.  It turns out that they're outdated, for Firefox 2 does support this property.  And I find it works better than the threedshadow shit.  Not to mention it's CSS 3.0 compatible.","author":"Tweakster","created":"2006-07-06T23:31:12.000Z","created_ago":"almost 20 years","updated":"2007-06-12T23:33:43.000Z","updated_ago":"almost 19 years","category":"global","subcategory":null,"weekly_installs":0,"total_installs":1592,"rating":"none","isPremium":false,"screenshot":null,"license":null}
