It is possible to change both the text and the background colours of all our pages. Below are details of
how to do this in Internet Explorer and Firefox. It is not possible to set colours within Safari. Where possible
we have given the keyboard shortcuts, shown in brackets.
Please note, we do not specify text, background and link colours on this site. Therefore if
you have already specified the colours you require in your computer properties, you will not need to do the
following, your browser will automatically pick up your preferences.
- From the tool bar, select Tools (Alt + T).
- Select Internet Options (Shift + O). This will open a new window:
