Um, the XML is styling the color, the text you see at the bottom
there, that's being styled via CSS:

They don't on my main site, there's not really any reason to.

You have to understand the concept behind wanting to create liquid
sites and such is to COMPENSATE FOR USER STUPIDITY. The fact is there
are a lot of really dumb fuckin retards out there who don't have clue
one about their systems display settings or what display settings they
should even be using and why. It's for THOSE RETARDS that SOME
developers like myself will try and go out of our way to attempt to
find IDIOT PROOF solutions.

....problem is, you can't fix stupid. *shrugs*
