Topic: Suggestion: provide a way to opt out of white-on-black color scheme

I don't mind that CrunchBang has a distinctive color scheme, but on the netbook I have it running on, I find the white text on a black background pretty hard to read, especially when I'm looking at the CrunchBang wiki.  Here in the forums, I finally figured out that clicking on the little eye icon turns the color scheme to a more eye-friendly (to me) black-on-white scheme, but I can't figure out a similar method for the wiki. 

I suppose I could come up with some site-specific CSS to plug in to Firefox, but I'd rather have something like a selectable theme I could choose when I'm logged into my account on the wiki (not sure if Doku supports that or not).

I'd also like to return Geany back to its default color-scheme (partly because some custom syntax highlighting I'm using doesn't show up correctly with the modified scheme in CrunchBang).  Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks!  (Besides this, I'm loving CrunchBang.)

(Just wanted to note here that getting Geany back to black-on-white was easy, there is a checkbox in the preferences which I just unchecked.)

Used to be you could click the little eye and it'd change:  look just above the words logged in as -- there are two icons.  One looks like a double-headed arrow -- that modifies the forum width to your screen; the other looks like an eye -- click it to change color scheme to black-on-white.  Like I said

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

<doh>  I didn't see the word wiki.  Good call!

There have been several posts from anonymous on adding a global CSS...could probably do a forum search for posts containing CSS written by anonymous.
