I was already thinking about using some custom css for all pages at night, but this seems to work better. However, I'm known as bug creator, and so I found a rather severe one immediately. It doesn't work with local html files at all. Thanks, -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."
