I was wondering why colors and fonts are not the same in SeaMonkey ?
Thank You for your input, Merci!
Colors and fonts are not the same?

Re: Colors and fonts are not the same?
Let's take blue background color.
Look at HTML:
<div class="container blue">
Look at CSS:
http://www.centretypo.com/ct_styles.css
.blue {
background: rgb(0, 83, 159);
}
And finaly point any color picker at that background.
In SeaMonkey the color is rgb 0, 83, 159.
That's all I know.)

Re: Colors and fonts are not the same?
Best you ask the Chrome and Safari people, because they are the ones not displaying the colours correctly. That's not opinion, it's stated in the .css code for that site -ietpt.net wrote:I was wondering why colors and fonts are not the same in SeaMonkey ?
Code: Select all
/*MODIFIERS*/
/*Background colours*/
.green {
background: rgb(100, 182, 70);
}
.grey {
background: rgb(220, 220, 220);
}
.blue {
background: rgb(0, 83, 159);
}
Just like in real life, 2 people can be wrong and the lone voice is correct.
In addition, in common with around 90% of websites, the site coding is different for some things depending on what browser is being used to view it, i.e. -
Code: Select all
/*MAIN IMAGE*/
.container_main {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -moz-flex;
display: -o-flex;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
width: 100%;
height: 700px;
background-image: url(images/main_image_dark.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-position: right center;
/*background-attachment: fixed;*/
}
Websites are also often just flat out badly coded and the the browsers have to guess what is intended (quirks mode) ...websites are also often being being revised or re-written and changing. It's a long and fascinating subject... for anyone with insomnia.

Re: Colors and fonts are not the same?
It makes sense that Chrome and Safari would agree, since Chrome's engine, Blink, is forked from Safari's engine, Webkit(which is itself forked from KHTML). They are quite closely related.
The Gecko engine used in Seamonkey is from a completely unrelated codebase, so it would be expected to have different rendering behaviors in some circumstances.
Although in this case Seamonkey appears to be the only one following a quite unambiguous directive in terms of color selection. I'm curious as to how Chrome and Safari are getting that wrong, since it is a rather basic directive and they are indisputably using the wrong colors.
The font disparity is interesting, as I'm not seeing it on my end.
There are options you can change that affect what fonts the browser uses. So my first shot in the dark: In the edit menu, click preferences, go to appearance, select fonts, and make sure "allow documents to use other fonts" is checked.

Thanks to all!
As vladmir and Frank said, the color on SeaMonkey are the right one.

I saw somewhere that it maybe a Apple font rendering problem... still search into it.

Re: Colors and fonts are not the same?
Even so, I reckon the Bored One is on the right track. Just at a glance, I can see that font has fallen back to default/user defined font conditions by the way it is using bold there, when the site .css is defining normal font-weight there.ietpt.net wrote:Hi! the "allow documents to use other fonts" is checked

I notice that you are on a Mac and I reckon it's a site css fault, ie, they are only using -webkit-font-smoothing on their font defines, whereas they need to be also using -moz-osx-font-smoothing there.
That would explain why non-Mac users, like us, are not seeing a text disparity there.

That is exactly what is going on in the CSS. "-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" and no -moz-osx equivalent.
I have no idea why improper antialiasing commands would make fonts disappear, but whatever. I am SO glad I'm not a web developer.
