User reviews

it's good, but it also changes the color of hyperlinks, both default and visited. you can't tell at a glance what's a hyperlink and what isn't - you have to hover over text to see where they are. it's one small drawback, but it really decreases its usefulness.

Doesn't work. Did check the 'Enable WaspLine' checkbox.

Excellent thank you - free and customisable. I find bright colours off putting so have used dark purple and dark navy. Doesn't work on every section on every page but its enough for me. Thanks
