Style sheet for text view

Starting with Newsfox 0.7, the styling of articles in text view can be changed. This is done by editing the file 'textview.css' in the newsfox folder inside your profile folder. The file 'textview.css' is just an ordinary CSS file and can be edited with any text editor.

Here is the default file contents and a small view:

body
{
  font:10pt Verdana,sans-serif;
  background:white;
}

#newsfox-box
{
  background: #e3dfd9;
  padding:10px;
  overflow:hidden;
}

And here is an alternative file contents and a small view:

body
{
  font:12pt Helvetica;
  background: #dfdfbf;
  padding: 20px;
}

#newsfox-box
{
  font: 12pt Verdana;
  background: #7f9fbf;
  padding: 8px;
  overflow:hidden;
  border: 2px solid black;
}

In the body of the article, the alternative view has larger text in a different font, a parchment colored background, and more padding between the body of the article and the edge of the article box.

Inside the heading box, the alternative view has larger text, a different colored background, and a border around the heading box. Newsfox uses bold face type for the article title without it being specified in 'textview.css'.

The views are much narrower than is usual in order to fit this page better, which makes the alternative not as appealing due to the larger type and extra padding.

The syntax is reasonably self-explanatory once you understand 'px' for pixels and #xxyyzz is one way to specify a color. Use your favorite search engine with 'css tutorial' to find more information about CSS, and have text view look the way you like.
