Colour the way you shift world
You can't be sure of WYSIWYG anymore. How do you know if it's the real world you're living in? Check the source code, geeks will suggest. You will be surprised how a w3c validated website can still turn out differently on IE (MyIE2), Netscape, Mozilla (Firefox), Opera, Avant Browser, Safari, Camino, iCab... (well iCab is still THE best w3c-compliant lite browser out there, IMO.) Behold, I have found a way to hide Neo from Agent Smith! There seems to be workarounds to the validating system (WOLS! you might say) that hide your illicit & unethically proprietary code from the watchdogs. Though this is no bigger crime than chewing gum, you have just "Microsised" your site, surrendering your site to their anti-competition monopolising scheme to make all source codes indexable & archived! Imagine someone stealing your script algorithms & saying "oh, i just got it from some free Microsoft knowledge base".
Of course that's not going to happen. Microsoft will start charging a subscription fee & start sending you big bundles of source code CDs, & you'll find your very own code in it stamped with small print "(C) Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1985-Infinito"
While it doesn't mean going back to the prehistoric ages of Times New Roman & the FONT tag, it does help to support official World Wide Web Consortium recommendations so at least there's something we can all agree on, besides Steve Jobs makes a better movie studio CEO than a tech CEO. (What happened to my colour-screen iPod mini & Mac mini with built-in iPod dock?!?!)
Anyways, here's the specific subject matter in question: http://www.htmlite.com/faq016.php
Microsoft's CSS: scrollbar colorisation. Sorry Microsoft, but the era of the blueberry iMacs is over. Letting users create scrollbars of fruity colours is but a passe.
Just kidding. I'm fully supportive of a standardised & fully customisable system, but certainly "standardisation" is the missing X-factor here, as this feature has not been implemented browsers-wide. However, being a modding freak, i'll still use {SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #ff0000} in my site; but honestly, i'll not hide the code.
