Some WebVista users may not be able to see screen controls because the color and/or size of some WebVista icons do not contrast enough with the page background. Changing the font size displayed by the browser does not change these graphical controls. However, you may be able to see the controls better if you change the page's background color using a personal style sheet.
Creating the Style Sheet
- Open a text editor such as Notepad (do not use a word-processing application such as Microsoft Word).
- Type the following:
- Save the file on your hard drive. Name it something you will easily remember, and add the extension ".css" (e.g., "somename.css").
- Close the text editor.
body {background-color: #FFCC33}
