Various questions about Webtiles and rc-file settings for LP

Hello, friends and allies. =)

I gave a try at assembling a nice layout for a Webtiles Let's Play. Here it is:

It looks nice, but there still are a few quirky things I'd like to find out about. =) Could you please help me?

1) Is it possible to disable the new-style inventory "subwindow" and use the old-style inventory/skill text-based menu? As you can see, it interferes with the current video setting, and removing its traces would be too difficult.
How to do it?
1a) Is it possible to change the size and the position of this inventory "subwindow" (not just in the center of the browser window)? How to do it?
2) How to change the colour values for Webtiles -- that is, make dark-grey brighter, make brown more yellow-ish, and so on?
3) Is it possible to change the symbols used in health and mana bars? How to do it?
4) Is it possible to outline the text message area, the minimap area and the stats area (so as to know their boundaries) with the rc-file? How to do it?

Thank you in advance. =)

Re: Various questions about Webtiles and rc-file settings fo

None of this is possible with rc files, but you could achieve a lot of it with a custom stylesheet (for example, using the "stylish" extension for chrome).
For 1a), for example, you could use
  Code:
#menu {
  left: 0 !important;
  top: 0 !important;
}
For 2), you can do something like
  Code:
.fg8 { color: #646464; }
to make the darkgray (colour code 8) brighter.
3) isn't really possible, but the bars are solid rectangles again in trunk.
4) would be something like
  Code:
#messages { border: 1px solid white; }
though it might mess up the layout.

Re: Various questions about Webtiles and rc-file settings fo

So I cannot reverse the inventory/skill/misc "float-up" window to the previous behaviour...
Hm. So all its features are set up using the appropriate #menu styles? What about its height?
It's been a long time since I tweaked a CSS file... Is there a way to assign a maximum height it can achieve?

Which CSS attribute sets the overall font size?
If I change the font size, will the width of the pop-up window change as well?
If you find any mistakes or typos in my post, feel free to PM me about it. Thanks in advance!

Changing the tiles font settings in the rc file will have no effect on webtiles, but you can change the font in the stylesheet. You can also set the width and height of the menu with the corresponding CSS properties.
