No, please not SPOILER! That tends to be hidden completely for old browsers, and not sure if also hindering page-search or archiving. Perhaps something else - "code"? But that increases the size yet more, using ultrawide Courier-fonts. Another...? (That said, I'd be surprised if RT changes anything at all only for reading convenience) But being a selfhelper, couldn't resist playing a bit now ;-) Tweak-1: This CSS filters all comments written by RT, then limits all single P-elements to a max height and if too long, shows a scrollbar: body.ipsApp article.ipsComment div[data-quotedata*='roytam1'] div.cPost_contentWrap p{ max-height: 400px !important; overflow-y: auto !important; } CSS-variations for example: remove author-requirement, or limit complete-comment height instead of single P-elements Tweak-2: This JAVASCRIPT (bookmarklet?) filters all comments written by RT, but (unlike above) takes the complete comment text. Then checks if the TEXT "- Bug " is contained more often than 8x. Only THOSE comments get limited with a scrollbar: var c="body.ipsApp article.ipsComment div[data-quotedata*='roytam1']"; var j, el, lg0, lg2, x, LIST=document.querySelectorAll(c); for (j=0; j < LIST.length; j++){ el=LIST[ j].querySelector("div[data-role='commentContent']"); lg0=el.textContent.length; lg2=el.textContent.replace(/- Bug /gi, '').length; x =(lg0 - lg2)/6; if (x > 8) { el.style.maxHeight='400px'; void(el.style.overflow='auto'); /* just for TESTING! Remove line: */ void(el.style.backgroundColor='yellow'); }} JS-variations: remove author requirement, choose another max-height, choose another TEXT, choose another hits-limit .

Thanks for the CSS! Works really well.

According to my eye doctor, avoid using them! People "think" they are easier on the eyes in dark environments, they're actually damaging to your vision. Something about rods and cones. Eye doctor tried to explain it but I kinda phased him out because I don't use them anyway. And they way I see it, if they were "better" for your eyes, then you could buy health magazines and books where the text was white but the paper was dark.

New build of Serpent/UXP for XP!

Merge with the existing Solaris fix, by folding Solaris into the Linux/BSD section. Add Apple Silicon (ARM64) support. This should also address Issue #1884 by moving the offending code into assembly. (fd04893c3) - Issue #1509 - Invalidate previous result when datalist is changed. (046b81d06) No official Pale-Moon changes picked since my last build. No official Basilisk changes picked since my last build. My changes picked since my last build: - gmp: replace preprocessor directives with AppConstants conditions (ef6b9353a) - pref: add CSS grid pref (297adbdb2) * Notice: From now on, UXP rev will point to `custom` branch of my UXP repo instead of MCP UXP repo, while "official UXP changes" shows only `tracking` branch changes.

Has to do with the number of eye muscles required to focus on visual details in light versus dark. Google it, there's a TON of documented studies. Like when you sit in the dark and somebody turns the lights on - there is a delay before your eyes can focus. That delay is NOT because you "just woke up" and are "groggy". Our eyes are wired for daylight. Our brains are literally not wired to live in the dark. We can adapt, but not all of us - ask anyone that works or has tried to work 3rd shift. And like 3rd shift, those that can adapt, they'll never work anything but 3rd shift. So there ARE people on "both sides".

You can add C# coders. Funny, where I work, when the inspector for work safety came, he also tripped over the fact that all coders use freakin' dark theme. I personally can't stand it neither.

I personally feel that Win11 is for the "gamer". I have never (and will never!) be a fan of "dark themes". It has been my experience that only "gamers" and "html/js coders" really 'like' "dark themes". They give me MIGRAINES - so yeah, I'm a bit "biased" against "dark themes".

What the heck is a "UOC patch" ? Disregard - found it -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/178306-the-uoc-patch-optimize-firefox-and-derivatives-for-old-hardware/ Did you alter any of the home PC fonts? ie, experiment with "emoji's" ?

Well it doesn't really need a tutorial, at least not for anyone here I would have thought. As long as you have the Devcon program, which is readily downloadable, you just need to put it somewhere where it can be found, such as the \Windows\System32 folder, and put those commands into a text file and save them as a .bat batch file. @Damnation would obviously have to put in the appropriate ID for his problem device. How you run it doesn't really matter I wouldn't have thought, you could run it manually after boot if you want to, or from the registry or just put it in the startup folder as I did. I'm not sure whether the most recent versions of Devcon work on XP, so just in case an XP compatible version is now hard to find, I've attached mine. DEVCON.zip

Damn man, I thought having my asd was socially unbearable, But since i was 12ish it was starting to improve without intervention. But thats likely since i have minor asd. I have gotten lucky so many times just in my adolescense (spelled that wrong) and it makes me (with a little tear in my eye happy to be here and around. I could of died from a broken leg, a split head/skull that could of given me a tmi (sorry if i got that wrong) and i feel bad for you man. All of those above events happened and here i am now sitting on a chair typing this. I will always be happy to be alive and i ask ANYONE, not to give up. Well, That was a little pull of my heart string

The 1984 was quite a good one . What's your favourite chapter ?
