Looking at the actual code, it appears that the backgrounds can be adjusted through the BBBACKGROUND tag, but to change the text colors I would have to manually edit each of the twenty hobbitd/webfiles/*_header files?
Is there any reason not to remove most of the attributes currently on the <BODY ...> and <FONT ..> tags in each of these files, and instead rely on styles set in hobbitd/wwwfiles/menu/menu.css?
I would love to have this managed by a stylesheet, but I just haven't got the time or urge to figure out how to accomplish this. So if you or someone else out there feel like tackling this, please do!
(The only reason it's done like this is because it was the easiest way to get started back when I started doing the tools to replace parts of Big Brother. I'm not particularly proud of that, and it would be a great benefit if the look-and-feel of Hobbit was easier to customize. Getting it into a stylesheet would be a huge step in that direction).
It might be necessary to do some code-changes to accomplish this fully, since the HTML generation is hopelessly embedded into the code. In most cases, it uses the font specs defined in hobbitserver.cfg - but you still have the "<font" tag. I'll be happy to help with this if you can tell me what's needed to move this into a stylesheet.
