GL update should help
Authored by: robg on Feb 23, '02 02:08:04PM

I believe that the new GL version will help with the multiple-coloration due to the implementation of themes. I'll know more on that in the next few weeks.

As for why the sheet is included instead of LINKed, I believe the problem is that the CSS is dynamically generated. HTTP_USER_AGENT is used to determine browser type and variations on font sizes are then set based on the result. This is done via some embedded PHP in the CSS file. Unfortunately, the PHP won't function if called via a LINK or @IMPORT tag (I tried both methods); it only runs when it's INCLUDEd. This may also be changed in 1.3.2.

Can't you just include the relevant <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="$RELEVANT_CSS_URL"> line, rather than the corresponding CSS source? This should fit into your current scheme, meet the original poster's concerns, and reduce the strain on storage, computation, and bandwidth (thus making the site cheaper to operate!).
