Subject: runlog is "ugly" 
I have a couple of questions and suggestions concerning the "new" CSS style of the mhttpd, especially related to the runlog

  1. If I am not mistaken, the mhttpd.css is hard coded (path/name) into the mhttpd. Wouldn't it be beneficial to have ODB entries where to get is from? This way people could change the look and feel more freely.
  2. Especially the look and feel of the runlog is unsatisfactorily from my point of view. See . The old style was much more readable. I could recover the old style look and feel by slightly changing the mhttpd.cxx where I changed in show_rawfile(const char*) "dialogTable" to "runlogTable" in the table class. This way I could tinker around with the mhttpd.css by adding the following stuff there:
    • adding .runlogTable in line 289 :
    • adding some style information for the runlogTable :
This way the "old" runlog look and feel recovered : , which I think is much more readable.
  • If possible, I would love to have alternating background colors between the runs for readability reasons, but I am not sure how easy it would be to add something like this.
    I not much experience with HTML/CSS yet, though a concrete implementation might be different.
