Miscellaneous Hacks - Mourning Mode [Works with IE]

Mourning Mode [Works with IE]

Many of the bulletin boards are based on a particular community or a nation. And if a natural disaster happened in your area , what about making the color of the site dim? Have you ever thought of having a MOD for that?
OR
If any of your staff/active member died. You really want to express your condolences to them. Right?

This is right mod for the above said purposes. You can turn your site to Morning Mode with this and the whole color of the forum changes to gray scale(only in Internet Explorer).

You need to make it working across all browser platforms.

Wont work with all designs and only shows effect in Internet Explorer... pretty useless, although I really like the idea behind it

Id like it if it worked in every browser as most of my users use Chrome or Firefox....
