Changing color for "updated"

[AxialInfo]

I've just installed the stylish script that changes the color of the "updated" indicator in the Discussion list, from here:

http://userstyles.org/styles/16994

I was wanting to change the red to be a bit brighter, more tomato-red (it looks more like burgundy on my monitor). Don't want to get into calibration discussion, though! I've been looking at this chart to determine a better color,

http://html-color-codes.com/

but if I change the 600 to something else I get quite unexpected colors.

Could somebody set me straight on whether the color numbers in that chart should work, and that it's just a matter of changing the number in this line:

    color:#600 !important;

to, say the number "300", or am I way off in left field.
Thanks much,
Sheila

Hey, that's cool, Dave!

Any chance of replacing the http url with a reference to a local file, e.g.:

    content: url(file:///Downloads/redflag.gif) !important;

I've phutzed around with syntax but haven't found the magic incantation yet.

update...

I found that this works:

content: url(file:///C|/redflag.gif) !important;

that maps to C:\redflag.gif.

Hey, dave, thanks!  I think I tried something like that, but the trick is that it only works with the file located on the root drive, i.e. not buried in a subdirectory, but in any event it works like a charm -- that's one less little blip of download time saved.

you're welcome...

ya, noticed that about the root drive. must be a stylish (mayebe greasemonkey would work, i didn't try that) bug becuase that syntax works fine of a  sub-folder when using straight css either in file or in an external style sheet.

ex, works in a style sheet: content: url(file:///H|/My%20Documents/redflag.gif) !important;

Here's a challenge to any GreaseMonkey expert (I'm still learning it):
Add a new link next to the Updated one that will point to the last page of the comments, like so:
Read the number of replies for this thread. Get the basic link for the thread, which is something like: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/111111?tstart=0 (111111 being a place-holder thread number)
And change it to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/111111?tstart=(number of replies mod 10)

This is obviously not as good as a link to the last read message, but it's better than nothing, IMHO.

clicking on the last post time already does that. and as others have said, i'm reluctant ot mess with it until adobe fixes it's own shiete. it's not up to users to be doing this. anything done tweak wise could be undone in a flash if adobe decides to actually do something.

i say they do the right thing and roll back to web crossing....
