Is there a v3 theme? Would love to drop that into our internal system april 1.

I haven't seen the v3 theme, but the v2 one works with moderate success, even on BS3 pages... I actually have this gist lying around (paste in console). https://gist.github.com/brbcoding/37c2ca77a3a368708d24

This is what it does to the BS3 docs page: http://i.imgur.com/VQNlsZy.png

I can't stop laughing. To say that it is merely extremely accurate would be a travesty of the english language.

lol, fuck. I remember every goddamned thing on that page.

The dude coding in the lower right was a nice touch. Haven't seen that in a long time.

Kidding aside, Comic Sans MS is still one of the most easily readable fonts out there.

Apparently the that lower case a in Comic Sans matches how most people write, makes it an easier font for people with poor literacy

Is it just me or is that background 3d? That's tripping me out.

That is all Photoshop was used for back in the day.

Noise filter, sheer, blur, fuck with the levels, colorize with a horribly bright shade of something. If you fucked it up bad enough you couldn't tell it wasn't repeating. 90x90 and 120x120 all the way down.

That and making an amazing image with a completely pointless sun glare filter and then cutting the image into cubes so you could display it on the site. Thats how "consultants" overcame HTML limitations for a long ass time.

No colored scrollbars? Or was this past 2000?

Come on, that would ruin the user experience

and it is of-course not a part of the Web CSS spec.

Discussion is still going strong in Bugzilla, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790

at least back then people didn't use javascript for styling a scrollbar...

No, but they first used Java applets and then Flash, just to re-implement the native scrollbars with a lesser version. The horror...

This is beautiful.
