Using Your Own Style Sheets In Safari

This page explains how to make Safari use colour and font styles you have created in your own style sheet.

Note: Mac key convention: 'Ctrl' is used for 'Control', 'Apple' is used for 'Command' and 'Alt' is used for the 'Option' key.

Note: For keyboard access make sure 'Full keyboard access' is turned on - you can turn it on or off; by pressing 'Ctrl' + 'F1' at any time.

Instructions

1. Click on the 'Safari' menu with the mouse and then then click on 'Preferences' or press 'Apple' + ',' (Comma). (see Fig 1 , below)
