HTML/back_htm
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

<html> <head> <title>Backgrounds and global colours</title> </head> <body background="bg.gif" bgcolor="#BBBB88" text="#550000" link="#BB0000" vlink="#990077" alink="#FFFFFF"> <h1>Backgrounds and global colours</h1> <p> This page uses a tiled GIF as a backdrop. As you can see, although the GIF is very striking, is can be distracting and make it hard to read the text. The background is inserted by adding a: <br><code>background="filename"</code><br> attribute to the <var><body></var> tag.</p> <p> The text colour has also been set (to a dark red) using: <br><code>text="#550000"</code><br> in the <var><body></var> tag. It is important on Acorn machines to set the background colour as well, so that the text will anti-alias correctly: in this case it is set to yellow ochre using: <br><code>bgcolor="#BBBB88"</code><br> in the <var><body></var> tag.</p> <p> Other colours that can be set in the <var><body></var> tag are:</p> <ul> <li>Link colour - set by <var>link="#rrggbb"</var> <li>Active link colour - set by <var>alink="#rrggbb"</var> <li>Visited link colour - set by <var>vlink="#rrggbb"</var> </ul> <p> <a href="fonts.htm">Here is a link to the fonts page</a> so that you can see the different colours. It is red before it has been visited, maroon when visited and white when 'active' - clicked upon.</p> </body> </html>
