Link colours in new Worg style

Link colours in new Worg style

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi Bastien and others,

The new Worg style is amazing; the text is very clear and much more
readable now.  However I have a major complaint about the links.  It
seems the new style overrides my browser's colour setting for unvisited
and visited links.  I think this is extremely confusing.  As per my
setting, I have blue for unvisited links and purple for visited links.
The new style overrides this to red for unvisited and blue for visited.
Obviously you can see how this leads to a confusion.  I would really
appreciate it if this was left to the user and not determined by the
webpage.

Cheers,

The previous stylesheet already used non-default colors for
non-visited and visited links.  I just changed the colors.

Here is the setting you saw:

  a {text-decoration: none; color: #FF0000; font-weight: 400;}
  a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-weight: 400;}
  a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: #FF0000}

But you're right this is confusing, as this is the exact opposite
of... most browsers default settings.  I swaped the color, let me
know if this looks better.

PS: The Unicorn-on-steroid logo will change, I'm waiting for my
friend to submit a new one.  Perhaps the colors will change a bit
too.

I don't know why I did not notice that before!  Maybe this time I was
browsing around, checking things whereas earlier I knew which entry I
was looking for.  In any case, it is less confusing after the switch.

Thanks for confirming, I made the same change for http://orgmode.org.

The server seems to be down atm (not just the web, also git)?

Yes.  The machine is inaccessible, no http, ssh, git or whatever.

I asked Jason privately about this, crossing fingers.

What happened to the color of the Unicorn?  I don't think these should be changed.

This was part of an "experiment" -- I reverted back to the old
Unicorn.
