Noir BBS - Surf in pure black and white like when you click "log out"

I love the underused feature of vb3 that makes the screen go black and white when you click "log out".

It's not a CSS type hack, as it even effects avatars and the logo...

How does it work?

And would it be possible to make it a skin selection or option? Surfing in black and white would be very retro IMO.

this is simply a style/skin in no-color way, so guests have that black stuff, and members/logged-in have a colored skin...

IIRC the 'trick' only works in IE.

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

//-->

</script>

}

</script>

It uses a fade filter and the opactity filter and clear.gif to make the screen go grey. Its an IE only feature.

No cross-browser equivilents?

usually, IE is not cross-browser itself, so when a tool is created with the IE functions, it's not working on either the browsers available on the market... this is what we can call an invert-compatible system.
