Ya know, this is a another problem i've been wanting to address for a while. Like Laura suggested, i believe CSS is the answer. The only problem is selecting the correct CSS for the right mood / occasion. i think i wrote about this plan on my website, and i'm curious if this method would help: First, a Web crawler could scour the Internet for as many style-sheets as it can find. Then a program could use some basic machine learning to categorize them. The algorithm might even consider the content of the pages which use the CSS. For instance, the language of a Web page could be given a rating between "casual" and "professional". If certain color combinations are used more frequently, we can assume these schemes are more readable. After the style-sheets are categorized, the user could search for the best scheme based on some criteria. For instance, a user may want a 90% professional and 100% readable scheme. Or maybe the user wants a scheme for Halloween or Christmas. What do you all think? Too bad i never have time to implement half the stuff i want to. i'd like to know if any of my ideas would actually help.
