Just tested again, because it seemed strange to me.

The GUI setting in Firefox does not override an !important rule by the author. It seems it only uses: text-decoration:none

To override an !imporant rule by the author, you have to use the user CSS, that is, userContent.css within the profile, in the directory “chrome”.

Sorry for the mix-up!

Just tested it. (The Firefox setting is in Edit, Preferences, Content, Colors.) I always thought that this GUI setting in Firefox did not use !important, but it seems that it does. In CSS2 !important by the user overrides !important by the author. (I think In CSS1 it was the other way around.)

Thanks for looking into the date format thing.

We’re working on the date format thing, and should have a version that honors the settings in wp-admin later today. It will probably go with a few other changes and fixups as a version 2.0.1 soon. (It’s working here already at the dev and demo blogs.)

Link underlining: I’ll test this visually just as soon as I find the link underline setting in Firefox. If we had an issue tracking system, this would go under “enhancement” — i.e., I’ll have to think about it. But the CSS suggestion is much appreciated - it’s certainly not my primary expertise. I’m sort of philosophically against the fact that !important can override a user style sheet.

Lastly, I hadn’t considered Windows users at all, I’ll admit it. On the Mac, I believe a double-click on a .tgz file will expand it in the Finder, so no additional software needed. However, since we have to produce a .zip of each release for the themes directory anyway, I’ll put up a zip-compressed download when I release Simplish 2.0.1. (And of course, one can grab a .zip from Simplish’s home in the themes directory, too.)

Thanks for mentioning my review, Josh!

I just added two comments on Simplish (about date format and link underlining). Maybe, since underlining is the only way to distinguish links in Simplish, it would be a good idea to declare the decoration and add an !important rule. — I always browse with link underlining disabled (and I always forget about it), and the first time I saw Simplish I was confused.

BTW, the tgz format of the download is not a very friendly gesture to the non-linuxy and non-unixy population. :-p — Why not offer a zip package also? or just mention some software for Windows (7-Zip) and OS X (The Unarchiver)…
