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.

  Okay, IE is officially the worst browser in the history of ever; they took away the option to change the font size?! (But, yes, that /was/ the problem. Verdana displays hugely on Windows, and only on Windows. *sighs*)
  
  If you like sans-serif (the style Verdana is) you might try Arial or even Century Gothic as your default font. Look around a bit in the list of fonts and see if another looks the way you like. If you're using a recent version you might be able to get Calabri, which is a pretty nice font.

    IE7 has an option to change font size. It's been very helpful.

      Thank goodness for that! Can't imagine what they were thinking, hiding that option 6. The smaller/larger setting is no substitute at all.

        Ah sorry, the IE7 option has five options from 'smallest' to 'largest' which works pretty well for me; I didn't know there was supposed to be anything else.
        
        Ironically, I have trouble changing font size in Firefox, one of the reasons I don't use it except for uploading icons, since they still don't work in IE.

          Ah, I see. The problem is that small-large usually affects all pages you view, so if you set Verdana as the default and select small, a page that has Times set as the font will view tiny. If your browser lets you set a default size as well as font, you can select a 10pt Verdana, and still view that Times page at its normal size. *rueful* I just wish Verdana displayed consistently across platforms; then I could, at least, adjust it consistently, for the site scheme.
