Issue 2393: Support user stylesheet
41 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by jshin@chromium.org, Sep 16, 2008
Firefox has options for ignoring the page font and color specification. 
It also has a user stylesheet (there's no UI for that, but a user can edit 
it). Opera UI gives even greater controls to users. 

This is also an A11Y feature ( 
http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-USERAGENT/guidelines.html#gl-user-control-styles 
).

This has two components, webkit changes and UI changes.  I'll add eseidel 
once he's added to the member list.

The webkit changes should be tracked as webkit bugs in http://bugs.webkit.org/.  WebKit already supports 
having a user-specified stylesheet applied to all pages.

After a brief discussion:

We won't add a UI for this. However, we could support something like userContent.css 
that Firefox does. If present, we could load that and then obviously the style rules 
in that file have the ability to override whatever wherever. If you want to add 
support for this please go ahead (I see the bug is assigned to you).

macdome, thanks for the info. If webkit already supports a user stylesheet, we may
get it almost free after a merge.

Ben, thank you for the direction.  
Let's see how it goes after merge. Btw, it appears that if I report a bug and am a
member, it's automatically assigned to me (unless I unassign myself explicitly) :-)

It already supports user style sheets since *long* before the merge. :)
Comment 7 by jshin@chromium.org, Sep 17, 2008
Ok. I begin to feel stupid. Safari has a UI for that (Advanced - Other ... - 
Stylesheet).  

In Chrome, we don't, yet, support user stylesheet because of a sandboxing issue.

See http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/webkit/tools/layout_tests/test_lists/tests_fixa
ble.txt and look for 'user stylesheet'. 

Or, see http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/webkit/port/platform/TemporaryLinkStubs.cpp 
(createWithContentsOfFile )







Summary: Support user stylesheet

Will this be fixed in the foreseeable future or left to the extension apis?
BTW: I think this would also fix  issue 9149  ?!
Comment 12 by mattcutts, Aug 12, 2009
Just wondering about the possibility of user stylesheets--any new word?
Comment 13 by klink@chromium.org, Aug 12, 2009
I am hacking on a simple extension to provide some simple functionality towards this.
Currently have a very early prototype only being tested by some of our low vision
employees. Will hopefully have something to show soon to a broader audience.

@klink ,  Since several months has passed,I just want to know whether
your extension for this is publicly available now.Where can I find it?
Comment 15 by simo.melenius, Nov 09, 2009
I would much welcome this, as well. I've been running Chromium for a couple of weeks 
now and it's snappy and webpages are sandboxed and everything, but text rendering is 
just horrible for my eyes.

I'm not particularly comfortable with the various tiny fonts and the hippy typefaces 
that web pages use these days so I've been living with my own user stylesheet for 
years. Lack of that capability is holding me back to Firefox for any serious 
reading/browsing for now; if I had that, I wouldn't look back.

Inline support for user CSS, please, even if there's no UI.
