Updated the new styles

All 6 of the new site schemes have been updated. There have been formatting and alignment fixes, as well as font size fixes. They styles now use the default font set in your browser.

In addition we have started using alternate stylesheets which, if you are using a browser that supports alternate stylesheets, will allow you to add or remove Tweak or Tweak's Sayings.

Here is a list of the browsers that support this and how to do it. Unfortunately for Windows users Internet Explorer does not support this, and for your Mac Users, Safari and Camino do not support this either.

* Firefox users can switch stylesheets using the View > Page Style menu.
* Opera users can switch stylesheets using the View > Style menu. In Opera 7.x, you can also click the little down arrow next to the User/Author Mode (fourth) button on the Address Bar. In Opera 8, the User/Author button has moved to the view bar which pops up/down from the address bar.
* SeaMonkey, Mozilla, Netscape6+ and Epiphany (the default browser for the GNOME desktop on UNIX/Linux) users can switch stylesheets using the View > Use Style menu.
* Konqueror (the default browser for the KDE desktop on UNIX/Linux) users can switch stylesheets using the View > Use Stylesheet menu.
* Galeon (another popular GNOME browser on UNIX/Linux) users can switch stylesheets using the View > Styles menu.

Edit: The removing tweak and tweak says does not work exactly as expected. I am going to work on an easy way to set it so it stays when it is set.

    A number of browsers have had issues with varying font sizes, so to alleviate this, we decided to let the users' browser set the font size. If you need the font to be bigger, you can go into your browsers' settings and change it.

      I realize that, problem is, before the font was great, now it's either too large or too small and I have to adjust it every time I open a different tab that isn't IJ - very annoying. And even using the FF view +/- I don't seem to be able to get the correct font size.

        Here's what I ended up doing to make the font size right (well, if you have Worksafe Sidebar):

        It worked like a charm.

        I can't control the rest of the web. Only this site. If you liked how IJ looked before, just go into your browser settings, the Control tab I believe, and set your default font to Verdana.

          Oh, thank you so much! I despise Times New Roman and was panicking thinking that I'd have to read the site in that all the time from here on out. Have changed it to Verdana!

        If you use Firefox 3, it remembers the level of zoom you used on a particular website :)

          Isn't that the coolest thing! I was so happy to discover that.
