Very nice Dan, I might have to look into making this work completely with the dynamic css thats built into Redoable, which will have about 16 colours combinations available when 1.2 is released.

Keep up the good work, I'm liking all the little changes you've made to the theme too.

Dean: I can make it an SBM if you'd like. It wouldn't be too hard. I could also make some colored icons instead of the standard that I included now. Otherwise just contact me if you need some help, it's a fairly simple plugin.

This plugin was exactly what I was looking for. I've got it simply changing the colour scheme on my site at the moment, but I have plans for more.

Great plugin, thank you.

On WP 2.1 with default theme and no other plugins activated, pages load OK at first but when I click xxx/blog/index.php?css=INCREASE FONT I get the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at xxx/blog/wp-content/themes/default/header.php:2) in xxx/blog/wp-content/plugins/css-switch/css-switch.php on line 134

I have the CSS Name configured correctly, I can see the alternative stylesheets eg: xxx/wp-content/plugins/css-switch/css-container/font-increase.css, I've checked css-switch.php and header.php for leading/trailing spaces, cleared cookies, but still no success.

Any further suggestions will be appreciated.

It's your placement. And if the images don't show it's your CSS.

It looks like your images aren't loading. All I can say is check your CSS because that's all this plugin does is activate one style sheet after another.

Also, make sure your browser cache is cleared, that might be the problem although I've never seen it happen.

Thanks for reply Dan.

It's the same effect with images inserted, I have done another screenprint to illustrate this.
SEE http://www.flickr.com/photos/ebyrne41/443714327/

I cleard cache also, no difference. It's the same effect in Firefox and IE by the way.

I will trawl through the stylesheet, but I know I changed nothing other than the font size, so I expect that to show up nothing. I's just so puzzling, and I can't live with the effect I'm afraid, so I have to de-activate it unless and until I find a solution. Meanwhile I'll use another plugin that is more limited and works with posts, but not pages(!) (WP - Writing change [fontsize and font]).

Thanks again anyway. If a solution comes to mind you might let me know. Cheers. Ed

A million thanks Dan. I edited the stylesheets as you suggested, leaving in only the changed elements. And it worked!
Much appreciated. Ed

Hi Dan

I have been trying to implement this on my site however the style does not persist when I jump from page to page i.e. I change the style and then select a link to a new style. I noticed this is the case on your site too.

Is this how you intended it to work or have I missed something?

Thanks

Im actually having the same problem too.

My styles do not remain when I jump from page to page.

I have already deleted the cookies (using IE and Opera) but the problem still persists. :(

Is there a way to fix this?

It's not that you need to get rid of your cookies it's that the browser isn't creating them. If you already deleted all of your cookies, close the browser and go back to the site and check to see if a cookie was created, if not then you know.

Hi! I'm seeing similar results to Jasmine. I've checked your own site on OS X/Safari Firefox; XP/IE7 Firefox. Individual pages switch colors nicely, but the results don't persist when navigating from page to page. Interesting.

Can you guys give me links to your sites with the plugin installed. It would help out because how else can I help?

Unfortunately my test install is on an internal staging server. I can take a screen video of navigating and using the plugin on this site, though, and show you what I mean... I'll give it a shot later today.

Sounds like he's scared of the debate, probably because he's not prepared for the questions on the economy - even though it's a national security theme. Pussy!(via McCain suspends campaign for 'historic' crisis - CNN.com) Republican presidential candidate John McCain announced Wednesday that he is suspending his campaign to return to Washington and focus on the "historic" crisis facing the U.S. economy.
Macs Used To Help Make New Microsoft Ad
this is so funny.(via Macs Used To Help Make New Microsoft Ad) Uh-oh. It's been discovered that some of the images used in Microsoft's new 'I'm a PC' commercial were created with Macs. Four of the images that Microsoft made available on its PressPass site today display the designation "Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh" when their file properties are examined. The images appear to be frames from the television ads that Microsoft will launch later today. One of the images is of a real Microsoft engineer, identified only as "Sean," who resembles John Hodgman, the actor who plays the PC character ...
