153750 - Provide access to alternate style sheets

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: Accessibility, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Greg K.]

At present, there is no way to access alternate style sheets in Chimera. A
mechanism should be provided to select such style sheets similar to Mozilla's
View/Use Style menu.

Perhaps this could be implemented as a popup menu on the status bar, as for the
popup blocker.

This is something that should really go in the View menu, because people want to
be able to hide the status bar.  It's fine for it to *also* go in the status bar
(and IMHO is more discoverable that way), but access to the stylesheets should
primarily be somewhere that can't be hidden so that we can be compliant with
CSS2: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/conform.html#conformance (point 5)

Firefox also has an option in its menu to display the page without styles.

Mass un-setting milestone per 1.6 roadmap.

Filter on RemoveRedonkulousBuglist to remove bugspam.

Developers: if you have a patch in hand for one of these bugs, you may pull the bug back to 1.6 *at that point*.

provides a nice testcase (view in Fx 3 to see how they work it).

http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#5161

is how Firefox implements this.

I may be able to take a look at this next week.

A couple more notes-to-self from talking with gavin on IRC:

* the menu calls |stylesheetSwitchAll()|, which loops through and disables everything other than the newly selected stylesheet
* it then calls |setStyleDisabled(false)| to enable the currently selected stylesheet
