Hi,

I am brand new to the list but have been using Galeon since ages. I have
tried switching to Mozilla, Firefox, Epiphany, Opera or whatnot, but
always come back. Basically - Galeon is the best :)

As for user stylesheets that are available in 1.3.15, there are a few
things I'd like to see before I could rest happy:

1.
* The problem: currently the User stylesheet menu shows the filenames
along with the css extensions. This is ugly and unnecessary.
* The solution: look for all files in .galeon/stylesheets or look only
for *.css and strip the .css part. The latter is actually preferred
beacause I might want to modify existing stylesheets and like to keep a
backup with a different extension.

2.
* The problem: currently only one user stylesheet can be selected at a
time. This is bad because you miss out on all the fun that is cascading.
I use user stylesheets to improve legibility of websites  and it is
nearly impossible to make one stylesheet that works on all webpages. If
I have two, three or more, I end up duplicating a lot of rules.
* Solution: make every user stylesheet selection a checkbox that can be
toggled on or off. This way I can make small pieces like "Get rid of
goddamn ugly colors", "Get rid of goddamn ugly fonts", "get rid of
200-character-wide lines" and pick the ones that I need for the site in
question

3.
* Problem: Galeon does not remember the stylesheet selections for a
page. Neither page styles nor user styles.
* Solution: make Galeon remember these settings as it does remember the
zoom factor.

All for now, keep up the good work and as I mentioned on gnomedesktop -
place a donate button somewhere. I have purchased two pieces of software
in my life (other than OEM things) - HOMM III Linux and Opera. Galeon
would be the third one I'd give out some bucks for ;)

The best,

L.
