Catalogues

[Alan_b]

Well, it's in the green.

Literally so, I find!     http://www.foxgroveplants.co.uk/index.htm
I can read the green print quite easily ....wonder if it is tricky to those ( mostly men?) with a red/green colour blindness problem?

Not for this somewhat red/green colour blind male.  The hardest thing I have found is red letters on a black background.

I hate the font also

That's a 52$Can font 
I wonder if they realize how many people are having problems with their site because of the font.

[Anthony Darby]

Curiously, I have no problem, but then I have to read Heinz 57 different varieties of handwriting and even do that, at only slightly slower speed, upside down. Handy being a teacher. The best font for pupils to read is 'Comic Sans'.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Mark, I don`t like to rap. But here on the continent, I (we) got no new catalogue of Avon(But I got some dormant bulbs). May be it`s like you say. Feel good in better position.

Hagan I'll add their list here later.

Thanks for that Mark - it was a lot of work. I tried copying and pasting the whole thing out from the website and got quite a mess that needed re-formatting.

Mark, the forum-world is OK. There was a good spirit, who scanned me the pages of the catalogue. And another listed the cultivares for me. I only thought, a buyer will get the new catalogue quite natural. Our forum is most appreciated.

Blimey that is hard to read!   

One of the particularly useful features of the Opera browser is a little icon you can click to show a web page without font/background formatting. You can also easily view a page without images. Keyboard shortcuts are also available for all these effects.

[Brian Ellis]

a little icon you can click to show a web page without font/background formatting.

I've missed this one which icon and where is it on Opera please?

[mark smyth]

Hagan I think I have put my Avon catalogue in the bin. I've searched but cant find it

I've missed this one which icon and where is it on Opera please?

On my layout it's an icon that looks a bit like a mobile phone, top right-ish, next to a camera icon that controls images. I can't remember whether it is an automatic icon on the latest Opera or I added it (very easy - ask if you need help). It has a drop-down menu with "Author Mode", "User Mode" and all sorts of other things. Same thing can be found in the menu View, Style. "User mode" is the view without formatting.

[David Nicholson]

I think it's possible to override Web site font and colour settings using Internet Explorer. I haven't tried it myself so don't blame me if it doesn't work!  As follows:-

1. Click 'Tools' button, then click 'Internet Options'
2. on 'General Tab' click 'Accessibility'
3. Select, as appropriate the 'Ignore Colours Specified on Web Pages'
                                       ' Ignore Font Styles Specified on Web Pages'
                                       ' Ignore Font Sizes Specified on Web Pages'
check the apropriate box(es) and then click 'OK' twice.

Have you looked at Avon Bulbs' website, Hagen? The snowdrops are now listed on there (many already sold out however):

Thanks for that, I don't have it on screen, but looking at customizing Toolbars I see one similar to that you describe called 'author mode' so will give that a whirl, thanks for your help...I won't be beaten
