Ignore colors settings in in IE

Ronald Postma — Mon, 21 Mar 2005 06:29:29 GMT

Hi there,
Got a question about Internet Explorer (IE).
In version 4 and 5 it was possebel to ignore the colors that was set in the HTML code (the tag backgroundcolor i.e.)
You would get the page in the Windows colors, I can not find this setting in IE6.

Is there an other wayto fix this? Firefox can do this, but I want to let IE does that to.

So if anyone has an idea how to get this right under IE6, I would be glad to hear it.

Many thanks to all who look into it and I will reward your for your troubel,

Regards,
Ronald

Hello Ronald!
In my IE6 it placed in menu Services (second menu from right) -> Preferences (the lowest one) -> Tab "Common".
At the bottom of the window where are series of buttons. "Color" button (the left one) lets use Windows colors, "Appearance" button (right one) lets to choose web-page style. Is it that you need?
Sorry, it can be difference in the names of menus and buttons because i've got russian version of IE.

Hi Artyom
Thanks for the reply,k your anwser got me started on the right way, I overlooked the option, is not the colors butten in the general tab, but the accessebility button. There you can Ignore colors and fonts that was what I was looking for.
Persanaly I can not understand that I over looked that, kind of logical to find it there, because I want to use this option to let a visual impared person browse over the interent with his own colerset.

Regards,
Ronald
