In addition, some webpages set the scrollbars to very dark colors which can make it hard for you to see the scrollbar position and buttons. This is obviously annoying and bad for usability. You can do that with an overriding stylesheet. Settings, Configure Konqueror, CSS. OK, but is there no chance of having an easy to use checkbox configuration option (e.g. "Allow pages to customise scrollbar colors?")? Not every user is going to be able to work out how to override the stylesheet; it's not exactly a user-friendly way to configure the browser. Thanks for the reply. Would we create checkboxes for "Allow webpages to override fonts", "Allow webpages to override colours", "Allow webpages to override the link underlining setting", "Allow webpages to create tables without borders", etc? IMO, the scrollbar is not important enough to warrant an option of its own. Webpages have lots of ways to customise their appearance and I've no problem with that. I just don't like the webpage appearance leaking into the rest of my desktop, outside of the browser viewport. For example, would you like to see CSS that allowed the designed to change the tab color, the titlebar color, the toolbar icons etc.? There are already options to stop javascript from resizing windows, hiding the location bar etc. They're all ways to stop a webpage from customising your desktop in a way you don't want. I just find overriding the scrollbar colors annoying because it makes the desktop look inconsistent (e.g. why is that scrollbar red when the others are grey?) and sometimes the designer sets it to a really dark color where you can't see it properly. What goes on inside the webbrowser viewport isn't important (e.g. colors, fonts) because people expect webpages to have different appearances anyway. I just don't think the scrollbar adds anything to the website design and it's just irritating. Yes, it's trivial, but it's a wish. :-) Besides, there are already quite a few easy to use options for altering fonts, colors, link underlining etc. |
