[Building Sakai] Sakai appearance in different browsers

[Noah Botimer]

Hello Russell,

I'm not an expert on this, but there are some noticeable differences  
in Mac visuals vs. PC. (Specifically, I think the gamma and color  
balance, but that's out of my league.)

The thing to check is going to be Firefox on a PC to narrow down  
whether it looks the same as IE. There may be some IE-specific CSS  
causing it to show up brighter, or it may be the actual computers. If  
Firefox and IE look the same on the same PC, then it is the latter  
and the user may prefer to calibrate the Mac video settings  
differently. I'm sure your local IT folks could help out.

As a note, I've CC'd the "Using Sakai" list. The development list  
gets more traffic and is the right place for CSS questions. The user  
list is not a bad place to ask less technical questions. There are  
many instructional people who listen there but don't like the volume  
of mail on the dev list.

Thanks,
-Noah
