MethodScript.com Accessibility - Nilleke Dark <strong> text and <a> links

The "Nilleke Dark" theme looks great, but there's a couple of accessibility issues that will affect even sighted users.

I'll raise two here. In this screenshot, if you were not familiar with the website, would you know for sure which are links and which are not?

Suggestions:

  • Make sure <strong> text is not the same color as a link
  • Make sure that <a> tags (links) have an underline as this aids recognition of links

On that last point, I personally feel that removing the underline style on links (or making it appear only on hover) looks visually interesting. But it's also a well-known issue for accessibility.

The other "Dark" theme might be an example on how we could do the <strong> text in the Nilleke theme - the text is grey instead. However it's also not be a great example, as there is not enough contrast between that text (#888888) and the background colour (#383838). I'll add a comment on #1269 about that now.
