Re: [accessibility] worg obscures text

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

thank you.  classic works best for me.  a tiny bit made for smaller
fonts [perhaps ragged right or 1 column would work better] but it is
completely usable and i would not mention such a nit except for your
interest.

[as an indicator of right column column width in classic page style,
with smallest legible font size during daylight, worg toc currently
takes 26 mouse pagescroll clicks to get to end from top.  toc at top
taking whole page [a 1 column design] and the items flowed but with
decent margins would take fewer clicks as that would be a bit more
width.  larger fonts would make the number of clicks more.  just fyi.]

[of the other styles, one is white bg so cannot use at night [because
i have not found a good
darkerner extension that does not require running a binary blob to
install it which i stubbornly refuse to do.  the one i use, dark
reader, does not work on some pages for some reason, and it
has other issues re blue on black and too much blue or so]; zenburn is
too bright and uncontrasty for me; and one or
two are obscuring as mentioned.  for my personal use, with my current
settings, classic is definitely good enough.  also, for some reason i
rarely go to worg.]
