[maemo-community] Suggested colour change for visited links

Hi,

Several people have complained that the colour of visited links on
maemo.org (#888) is too close to the colour of normal text (#404040).
They are both greys, and on the smaller screen of the Maemo tablets look
almost indistinguishable.

I'd like to suggest making the following change:

In midgard-data/style/maemo2009/static/css/master.css:

a.visited {
  color: #a35700;
}

Why #a35700? Because our normal a colour is #fa8700 (bright orange) and
Agave gives this colour as the monochromatic mid-tone corresponding to
that colour. Another alternative (a bit too dark for my taste) is
#4f2a00, which is the shadow tone associated with the same colour.

I'd like to hear from people with more graphical sense than me what they
think of the change - and if it meets with general approval, we'll make
it so!

Cheers,
Dave.
