!!!The existing CSS stylesheets and my new one (maybe) So, there's an existing stylesheet that came from somewhere magical (Jekyll install??). It's got a bunch of sophistication in it and the net result is not what I like, so I'm gonna hammer it. Before I do though, I'll investigate what all this junk is. First off, it's this: {{{ Slate Theme for GitHub Pages by Jason Costello, @jsncostello }}} So, there's this "meyerweb reset" that makes everything horrible: {{{ margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; }}} Thanks, whoever. I'll be dumping that, in favor of the client defaults, which I will assume are ''reasonable''. Then, there's stuff like this: {{{ transition: color 0.5s ease; transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease; -webkit-transition: color 0.5s ease; -webkit-transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease; -moz-transition: color 0.5s ease; -moz-transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease; -o-transition: color 0.5s ease; -o-transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease; -ms-transition: color 0.5s ease; -ms-transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease; }}} and {{{ box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ebebeb; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ebebeb; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ebebeb; -o-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ebebeb; -ms-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ebebeb; }}} and {{{ border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; }}} and {{{ #header_wrap { background: #212121; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #373737, #212121); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #373737, #212121); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #373737, #212121); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #373737, #212121); background: linear-gradient(top, #373737, #212121); } }}} What ''is'' all this webkit stuff? {{-webkit-border-radius}} These things are called "vender prefixes" and they're supposed to be temporary features. I see all of the above have CSS standard definitions, so why are we bothering w/the vendor prefixes? Also, they're basically non-essential. Rounded corners, animations and gradients? Yes, lovely, but non-essential. Gone. I think I'll substitute my org-mode/wiki CSS, which is substantially simpler. Yes, this is much better. I guess that's enough for today. !!Header 2 text !Header 3 text !Header 4 text !Header 5 text !Header 6 text !Header 7 text !Header 8 text
