I’m aware that some readers find light text on a black background difficult to read. If this is a problem for you, here is an easy - and free! - fix.
There is a bookmarklet you can use to change the black background to white and the text to black instantly on any page in your browser window (no more highlighting text).
Here’s how to get it.
- Visit https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html
- There’s a list of bookmarklets that “zap” stuff. Choose the one that says zap colors.
- Click on it and drag it to your Bookmarks or Links toolbar, where it becomes a bookmarklet, ready to be clicked whenever you need it. (Like a cabana boy.)
- Next time you come across a black background page, just click your zap colors bookmarklet. Voila!
- Try it right now, if you like. See? It works!
I’ll be making this a permanent page on the blog. Look for it any time.
