Can't change usermode background on some pages

Can't change usermode background on some pages
Sun, 01 Jul 2007 04:22:29 -000
When working in the dark, white backgrounds are to high-contrasty. I
was easily able to change bg colors to darker color in windows and
for some pages in opera, but other pages keep white background even if
I change it in user.css and change mode to 'user mode'. For
example, wall street journal site. And many other news sites too. It
seems like when they have <div class="something">, that class
is used over whatever I have, OR when they have <td bgcolor=white">.
My css:

@charset "utf-8";

p {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

html {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

body {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

table {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

td {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

div {
	color: rgb(56,56,56);
	background-color: rgb(146,146,146);
	margin: 0;
}

Please help!

[snip similar blocks]

Try adding " !important" before the semicolon on each style
statement.
CSS allows more specific settings to override less specific ones, so
a style for <div class="..."> will always take precedence over a
style
for <div>. Using !important increases the priority of your own styles.

Adding some wildcards will catch all colors regardless of IDs and CLASSes.

* {
   color: rgb(56,56,56) !important;
   background-color: rgb(146,146,146) !important;
   }


BTW: I used a different approach for my personal environment lighting  
problems, I just set up a different monitor color profile for "working in 

the dark" (4500K, brightness -20%).

Thanks very much, that's a good idea, it's better than changing
colors, because in some programs like xplorer2
I was unable to change color of background at all.. Your method is the
best.

thanks, -andrei

I have been following this discussion since I have had similar
difficulties with very bright screens even after tweaking my LG monitor
. Using Proxomitron has helped greatly with the " dim bright backgrounds
" filter . Also a very nice small application from Nirsoft works for
sound volume and screen brightness .
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html . Using css is nice but how
can I use it on individual sites . Opera is my main browser and if I use
css I must toggle to author or user modes .
