The same as the subject above.No background, no links, I mean - a color of Webpage itself.

Clarification of Question by markiz-ga on 24 Jun 2005 02:32 PDT I'm a nearsighted person, so my vision at this level is O.K. I just don't like real white color on the screen; and another thing about this question is my plain curiosity. Of course I checked these options out and it did not work out.Sounds become to me like it is impossible. I mean, color of WebPage besides links,text,background. For instance - this field where I'm writing clarification for question is light grey, the color what I have chosen for windows and what I'd like it to be on the rest of the page. But the rest of the page is basically white and seems like nothing can be done about this.However, I notice that some WebPages have this same color which I chose for windows.

you can use a simple cascading style sheet to change to the a webpage
appears. If you posting forum or blogger supports css code then the
change is simple.
If you are trying to change a webpage you created you can use a css or
a simple html command <body bgcolor="#hexcode"> that changes the
color.

In case you're referring to being unable to read text on a page -

  When I come across a page that has a poorly contrasted text color
against the background, making it hard to read - I just highlight the
text, making it easy to read.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you CANNOT (as far as I know)
override the background color defined by the web page's creater (on
all pages).  Microsoft dropped support for overriding the background a
long time ago.  (See bottom of post)

If you really want to change the background, I highly recommend you
select a different browser.  Mozilla Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) is
one of the most popular browsers in the world and it's free.  It will
also let you set the background on almost all pages.  It's great for
accessibility.

To change the background in Firefox, go to Tools -> Options -> Fonts &
Colors  Then click background and change it to what ever you would
like.

Internet Explorer's background support only changes the background on
pages where the background is undefined, or if the page uses CSS. 
(CSS is a new technology, and Microsoft is making the transition
prematurely.  It used to be able to change the background though)  So,
here's the best you can do in Internet Explorer.  (I believe you may
have already tried this though)

You can go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Accessibility and select
ignore colors specified on web pages.  Then go to Colors and uncheck
"Use Windows Colors."  Now you can change the background.  This will
override it for some pages (those using CSS) but not all.

Sorry, I forgot something.  If you're using Firefox, you must also
select "Use My" Fonts and Colors.  If you don't select this, it will
use the colors selected by the page.
