Skinning Gmane's Blog interface

Apologies if I've missed the info somewhere...

Is it possible to link to a Gmane list in the form:
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.discuss?set_skin=http://www.mydomain.com/style.css

Or is there another way of integrating a Gmane list with a web site's own
stylesheet?

After an experiment with pasting my css url I see that:

http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.discuss?set_user_css=http://www.mydomain.com/style.css&do_set_user_css=t

should do the trick.

However, the internal styling code:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
h1.name {
  background-image:  url(http://gmane.org/paint-blog-id.php?group=gmane.discuss);
}
</style>

on every page rather destroys the point. Could this be moved to the external
stylesheet file, or am I missing the point, somehow?

Your custom stylesheet could override it and make it !important.

... Or do what I do

1) newsgroups as newsgroups, not web pages

2) Privoxy, with a set of filters that enforces my light text on dark 
background preferences (I just remove bg-image references as the replacer 
doesn't know what they are), while maintaining some semblance of color on 
the page as it was sent.  Basically, this means a whole series of filters 
darkening light background colors and lightening dark foreground/text 
colors, but a bright red background is still red, just a darker brick 
red.  I've been working on the filterset for sometime now, and it's 
reasonably good, tho it does screw up occasionally, and does change the

BTW, I have a set of these up somewhere but it's out of date.  If 
someone's interested, reply and maybe I'll get motivated to update them 
before I post the link. =8^)
