Browser problem. As best as I can see from my testing several browsers refuse to redraw the web pages when the css style sheets change¹ (I echoed the cookies and css file names to the output during testing and these definitely changed). A reload is required to force a redraw in these dodgy browsers. These were the same browsers that have even worse problems when using the current LyX website -- try changing to short/long labels then complex/simple and then one/two columns and you'll see what I mean. ¹ By change I don't just mean when I've made mods to blah.css but when blah.css is replaced by bizzo.css > I assume the default you have (Bowser's castle ?) isn't going to be the > default. Light blue theme instead ? Most likely. The fancy-black scheme (black marble and gold fittings -- inspired by a very opulent bathroom) was what started me fiddling with the website (it doesn't come close to what I dreamed of BTW). As I said in my orginal email one of the simple schemes should be the default -- at this time I'm inclinded to go with the blue one with no italics (ie. the same simple blue scheme currently available on the main site). BTW, in answer to Angus' stinging remark about the current default: I happen to like to like it a lot and you've hurt my feelings you big bully. > I don't like the italic headings, it looks too busy.

As I said the headings were experiments on the day I announced it to you. > I think the LHS menu should be reworked. That's one of the things remaining on my todo list and one of the reasons I wasn't really ready to unleash it yet. Insult someone today, Allan. (ARRae)
