High contrast skin option
If no one manages to find an already-existing solution to this for you then let me know - I should be able to knock up a skin that can meet your needs -- DatRoot 00:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * OK cool, just shout if you need any help with that. -- DatRoot 00:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I had a look at the help pages and it seemed pretty complex - if it would require an elaborate explanation then don't worry, it's not too big a deal. The only thing I am wondering about really is where I actually insert the CSS code in. My internet experiences are usually on the front end of the pages. Thanks.Rokos 00:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Which skin was it you were trying to apply? -- DatRoot 00:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

It was this one here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stevertigo/monobook.css Rokos 00:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok then all you need to do is click the "view source" tab for that page, and copy the text. Then the file you put the css code in is Special:Mypage/monobook.css. Just click that link, edit the page, paste the code in and save. Then you need to refresh the page to see the new skin applied. -- DatRoot 01:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...
Forgive my ignorance if you have already tried this, but most operating systems have a setting that allows you to invert the color scheme, rendering a white text on black background not only on Wikipedia but your entire computer display. I often use it when I'm writing because it is easier to read, although it does mess up graphics. If you are using a macintosh: If you are using a pc, there are instructions here. Let me know if this helps... --( L' Aquatique : Bringing chaos & general mayhem to the Wiki for One Year!) 05:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) go to system preferences
 * 2) click universal access
 * 3) select "white on black" under the display header
