1. Don’t use Stylish! Use **Stylus** instead! (links see [this comment](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/what-about-drawing-changing-the-top-graphics-of-this-forum/1822/10); also note that Stylus works great on the mobile version of FireFox)
2. Isn’t Edge now based on Chromium? According to Google you could try this:

> 1. Open Microsoft Edge.
> 2. Click the main menu (threed-dotted) button in the top-right and select the Extensions option.
> 3. Turn on the Allow extensions from other stores toggle switch.
> 4. Click the Allow button.

At the risk of being snarky, I’m going to say, “Do not use Microsoft Edge”. 😉

I’ve found it to be incompatible with some pages, and Chrome has much faster load times in my experience. I know people who prefer FireFox, but that seems to want to update itself everyday right when I’m trying to load a page.

But honestly, I only check the forum on my tiny phone that uses Safari, so I haven’t tried to do any of this stylish stuff.

Haha! Don’t worry, you’re not being snarky. I don’t use Edge at home. I only use it at work as its the default browser on our laptops. I mean, I could just do some work… 😃

Edge is not yet officially Chromium. Chromium Edge is in beta stage atm. I tested a lot of Chromium based browsers (as it has to be Chromium for work), and Brave was the best for me.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Admittedly, it did ask for my permission to keep a record of which sites I was visiting, and I granted it to them without checking their reputation. Next time I’ll be more careful.

According to this [list](https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/wiki/Stylish-alternatives) you could try [Cascadea](https://cascadea.app/) which also supports loading styles directly from [userstyles.org](http://userstyles.org).

Yeah, but as much as I like seeing the Thimbleweed banner, it’s actually less distracting the way it looks now.

I love my iphone SE because it’s very compact and fits easily in my pocket, but the trade-off is limited screen real estate!

As far as I know on every browser and especially on mobile devices with high DPI the top part still takes a substantial amount of space.

If Chrome is right it looks like a quarter of the height in portrait or nearly half the screen in landscape mode on this phone… 😮

Thanks for all this tips about how to fix the footer and which tools are best to use for that.  
But it would be much easier if @RonGilbert just fixes the image on the server side. 🙂 hint hint

Rohooon, where are you? 😂

What’s wrong with the footer? That’s the least of our problems now 😄

Well at least I still have my header backgrounds…

Edit: Everything back to normal again. All those white background and strange colours were horrible 🙂

I see some people posting it´s fixed, but I still can´t see the Banner/Header Thingy. No Image for me.

But this [link](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/is-anyone-still-unable-to-see-the-background/3769/22) from this post now works

And yes I use “TWP Style” in the settings for the forum.
