[Sage] links for Euphonies enhanced (beta release)

[F.D.]

Very nice.
I love the idea with the scrollbars, even though they really are kinda 
bitchy. But using the mouse wheel is fine, I guess.

However, your style sheet doesn't work as advertised: It retains the 
boring gray scrollbars, not the shiny ones you got in your screenshot.
Also, there's a little overlapping at the top.
This screenshot

probably explains it better though.

Apart from that, I've again added some minor adjustments for my personal 
taste:
div.item's margin was changed to 0.2em (to avoid having to scroll down 
too much)
h2.item-title a:link:after was changed to ...:before and thus received a 
margin-right of 1em
div.item:hover div.item-desc's font-size was changed to medium and its 
padding to 1.2em (to prevent the text from being cut off at the top)
Oh, and I changed the color of the author's notice (body:before) to 
#EAEAEA to make it more subtle. Not that you didn't deserve proper 
credit, but it just was too salient against the dark background, IMHO.

I really think this style sheet should be included in Sage's default 
distribution package, to make it more appealing to newcomers!

Also, maybe it should be considered allowing the designer to add some 
JavaScript code. This would allow for more elaborate designs (though JS 
code should be kept to a minimum, of course)...
Actually, this should even be pretty easy to implement, as all that's 
needed is another text field in the settings menu and an additional 
link/reference in the HTML header. So you'd just have to copy and adapt 
the code for including the style sheet!?
Hmm, maybe we should put this up for discussion in a whole new thread?

PS: No need to give me that much credit; I hardly did anything at all... 
Thanks though, I appreciate it.
