April 3 edit

White text on a black background edit

Hi! I am looking for a skin (or stylesheet) that shows Wikipedia with white text on a black background. Preferably Vector-based. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 03:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You might be able to adapt this Stylish theme. -- BenRG (talk) 09:54, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll check it out. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 22:27, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Another option is to use the accessibility options on your PC to invert all colors. Of course, this affects everything, not just Wikipedia. StuRat (talk) 17:30, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That would be very inconvenient. Technically, using something like Lynx would also have the desired effect. But I am looking for a skin or stylesheet or something like that. I am using FF and Chrome. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 22:27, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Left click closes tab and open links in new tabs in Chrome edit

This problem has happened to me before, though it is not happening now. I have no mouse, just a touchpad and two keys (left and right) on my laptop. I came across a solution, which I have since forgotten. It involved a particular key combination (like pressing Ctrl+Shift) or pressing both left and right keys simultaneously. I found the solution with Google. Does anyone know what this solution is or was? — Melab±1 19:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ehm, have you tried pressing and releasing both mouse buttons simultaneously and then one after another? The Quixotic Potato (talk) 22:51, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Microsoft Tay edit

how did tay get her name? -- Question asked by User:121.7.120.8 -- Section and signature added by User:LongHairedFop

Our article (Microsoft Tay), and its page ( http://www.tay.ai ) doesn't say. LongHairedFop (talk) 19:15, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is an acronym for “thinking about you" according to Bloomberg. Feel free to add this information to the article. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 22:41, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
