Test page for black/yellow stylesheet, with serif fonts

This page lets you see what the black on yellow style sheet will look like (at least for sites that have been designed to allow you to use your own style sheet).

Introduction

How you see a web site depends on many variables, both personal and computer-related. For example:

• what your vision, and your perception of colour, is like.
• the physical type (e.g. CRT or LCD, WAP phone or WebTV) of display you have. For example, a web page can look startlingly different on a desktop PC and a laptop, and is obviously very different seen on a black and white phone display.
• the size, colour depth and resolution of your display. Similarly, you can choose to run your browser full-screen or in a smaller window, which changes the display area too.
• the fonts you have available.
• the browser or access technology you are using. Different browsers may show the same page with different layouts, and if you are using a screen reader or text browser, your experience will also be different.

Any web site design has to be a compromise between the needs of different users, and this one is no exception.

Fonts

You can change both the font face and size used on pages. For example, most browsers use a serif font like Times or Times New Roman as the default, but some people think a sans-serif font (e.g. Arial or Helvetica) is easier to read on screen. And you may wish to increase or decrease the size to read comfortably.

Colours

You can also change the colours used for the page background and text, to make the contrast more comfortable or choose colours you can read more easily.
