It was thus said that the Great Luke Emmet once stated:

Each site has a different background "fabric" and placemarker.

How is this done? I'm looking at the code and I don't see an obviousplace where this is done. Then again, I don't use C# so I'm not sure whereto look. It's a cool idea.

My concept of a site is that it is either the domain itself, or if there
is a user specified in the path, then it is the user home.
gemini://domain1.tld/mypath.gmi -
site is domain1.tld for that page
gemini://domain2.tld/users/foo/bar/baz.gmi -
site is domain/users/foo
for that page

Be careful, because different servers might display user directoriesdifferently. Some might do:

gemini://example.com/~alice/

and others:

gemini://example.net/users/bob/

and still others:

gemini://example.org/Carol/

And some might just do all three just to mess with you 8-P
