I am viewing Wikipedia pages using webkit in an application that I wrote. I attach my style sheet by specifying user_stylesheet_uri.

Actually, I'd guess that your application is adding some CSS somewhere, one way or another (webkit is a complex beast). I recommend you enable the webkit inspector to investigate which rules are being applied, and how. The inspector only takes a few lines of code to add to your application.

I still have not had a chance to try Nick's suggestion, but I am wondering about a recent discovery. My Android phone updated the Wikipedia app last night. I noticed in the What's New list that one of the new items is "We went native! Looks gorgeous on your device, and is much faster, too." Something changed in the styling in an effort to make the application look like native applications. The date of the change is 25 June, which is consistent with the breakage of my application. Does anyone know what actually changed? Are the people who actually made that change subscribers to this mailing list? Ryan Kaldari reported that the CSS specification for the body element did not change, so it seems as if there is some other way to change the appearance to make it look "native".
