Ramblings, v.2

I’ve got this sweet CLI¹ theme that I can go in and switch to any time. Unfortunately, everyone is forced to use it. …by “everyone”, I mean everyone who reads this site. …by “everyone who reads this site”, I mean me. Since no one else reads this. If some non-me reader is out there, LEAVE A DAMNED COMMENT.

Anywho, I installed a little theme switcher plugin that would allow a per-user theme specification. Each user would pick their preferred theme and it’d get stored in a cookie on their machine. Better yet, the theme can be forced with a specific query string argument. So, the plan was to default the site to the CLI and have initial text in the CLI provide a link to the graphical version. Noooo…..that won’t work, because whenever the theme switcher is active, I can’t modify the widgets of the graphical theme. Moreover, the image behind the title at the top of the page doesn’t display, and the text is white, and it’s real damn hard to read white text on a white background. So, I’m pissed.
