But a solved problem:
/* user.css */
a:link, a:visited {
margin-right: 0.3em !important;
margin-left: 0.3em !important;
padding-right: 0.5em !important;
padding-left: 0.5em !important;
background-color: #FFFFCC !important;
border: 0.1em solid red !important;
/* Adjust to suit taste, if you need to have your visual links
distinguished from each other */
}
Now, you can point out that this functionality is not EASY to install
in a
browser -- but that is the fault of the browsers for not allowing basic
CSS tricks like this to be easily bundled and placed into a user style
sheet.
