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.

  My font size is only 'normal' if I use the older viewing options (like newtweak), but is HUGE for the new ones. I want to use the new monochrome style, but don't want to have to fiddle font size every time I switch to this site, considering my font size is 'normal' everywhere else on the web. Any idea why it's so ginormous?

    Well, what you're looking at since yesterday is your browser default. If you have your browser default set to something like Verdana, and are on Windows, it will display large. Check and make sure you're still having a problem, because that would be an unusual default setting. Clear your cache and reload a site page.
    
    If you are still having a problem, you will want to go to your browser's Settings/Options and change the default font. If you're on IE, you probably want Arial or Calabri. If you're on Firefox, you can just change the default font size to something a bit smaller.

      I'm in firefox and font size is set to 'normal' which works on every other site I've ever visitied, but my default font is tahoma because I like it. I don't want to have to change my default settings which work perfectly for everything else just to use the new style. Thanks for the help, though. Too bad it's so picky.

        If your defaults display the way you want them on other sites, they will display the way you want them on this one. There are no fonts currently defined in this scheme, and all sizes are a) smaller and b) proportional definitions. That was what the latest update was mostly for. If what you have in your defaults is Tahoma, defined at the size you like, that is what you should now be seeing.
