new LJ style: ow, my eyes!
They changed the style for the individual-entry pages. The big thing everyone is complaining about is the new comment interface; that's butt-ugly too, but my real problem is that they shrank the font for everything. Browser zoom zooms the whole page (hello horizontal scrolling) and just isn't practical -- if I set a higher zoom for LJ it'll affect all my pages and things like profiles and help requests will be affected too. Ditto for Stylish; I don't know how to have it affect all and only individual entries.
Assuming that they're going to punt on my request to put it back (they usually punt on accessibility requests in my experience), could anyone reading this possibly, pretty please, write me a Greasemonkey script (or Stylish script, if you can figure out how) to put it back the way it was, or suggest some other browser customization that'll do it? Or an LJ style? (They claim they'll offer one in the future, but who knows how long?) I still have some old-style LJ pages in browser tabs so I'll harvest the source for one of them.
Big accessibility fail, LJ! Stop with the assumption that everybody in the world has 20/20 vision please.

no subject
1. I click "post a new comment".
2. I type the comment.
3. I try to change my userpic from my default (Loiosh) to my WTF? icon. The pointer changes to "link:pointing hand" when I put it on either the name of the current userpic or the down-arrowhead next to it -- or anywhere in that icon box box -- but nothing happens when I click it. Check the NoScript icon -- right, whole page is enabled.
4. Since this is really the third time I'm trying this, COPY AND SAVE THE WHOLE TYPED COMMENT.
5. Click "Post a new comment" button at the bottom of the comment section, as opposed to the differently colored "Post a new comment" button at the TOP of the comment section.
ETA1: Hey, whaddya know, this time it worked.
6. Before adding the ETA line, observe that the Edit Comment button and the Delete Comment button have, IIRC, been SWITCHED from their old positions, so I have to click the rightmost button to edit comment; the leftmost will delete it. Or maybe it would have started the "you sure you wanna delete?" dialogue, but either way, .
7. Heyyyyy, where's the PREVIEW button. Is that the empty checkbox up top that says "check" next to it? If it is, Dumb Dumb Dorothy, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR A HOMONYM!! Save again and try it.
8. All it does... well, it's not clear what the purpose is, but it doesn't give me a preview. So...
9. Hey, there's a HELP button under the userpic box. ... Nooooo, that just tells me about USERPICS nothing I don't already know.
10. OK, copy again and save again, and click "Post a new comment" again. The one at the bottom;* the one at the top has disappeared, maybe when the comment was successfully posted. But now there's another "Post a new comment" link OUTSIDE the comment box, at the bottom. Maybe that's in case I want to post a DIFFERENT new comment before posting this one, and risk screwing them both up. I think I will avoid that one.
ETA2: And what *it did was POST THIS EDITED COMMENT AS A REPLY TO THE FIRST ONE. "Obviously" I should have re-clicked the edit icon for the previous one, which is ABOVE the comment input box, at the point of an angle. But as I was looking at my text and getting it centered on my screen, THAT UNEXPECTED PART WAS SCROLLED OFF MY SCREEN AND OUT OF SIGHT.
(Where am I, what number?... OK.) 11. Now I will scroll up again and click that edit icon that the arrowhead, or wedge, or notch, is pointing to. After of course saving again.
