Top Rated ‘Stylish’ Scripts For February

Posted on 01 March 2010 by Tina Brunner

This is a list of the user scripts rated 3.0 by members of userstyles.org from February 1st to February 28th 2010. This list includes a short description of the script along with the link to the download. If the link doesn’t work, I apologize ahead of time. Sometimes these things happen. Just copy and paste if needed. You can also find more scripts at http://userstyles.org/.

Firefox Add-On Scripts

TotalToolbar: Right-hand menus open from the right

http://userstyles.org/styles/24969
If you use the TotalToolbar add-on (http://totaltoolbar.mozdev.org/), you might want to place some of the toolbar buttons on the right-hand side of the tabstrip. Unfortunately, most of their menus will likely open from the left-hand side and go off the edge of the window. This add-on tweaks the direction of most menus placed directly on the right side of the tabstrip so that they open from the right. In other words, they will open inward, much like Google Chrome’s menus.

Compact Menu 2 – nice icon (normal, hover, active)

http://userstyles.org/styles/24979
By default Compact Menu 2 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4550) has kind of an unpleasant icon. As of Compact Menu 2 v. 3.1.x the add-on seems to support multiple icon by itself. But as I couldn’t figure out how to use this I think this style is more flexible.

Personas – Button border images on hover

http://userstyles.org/styles/25145
When using a Persona for Firefox (rather than a theme) on Windows XP, the buttons on toolbars will look… weird when you hover over them. Like, “opaque, blocky Windows Classic tan-colored” styled buttons.
I wanted to do a bit better than what my system and browser provided me.
This style script will give those buttons a glassy border image that still shows your awesome/pretty/super-cool Persona theme underneath.
Because I wrote/copy-pasted this in one go, there may be some issues. Help we weed them out by leaving comments.

Facebook

Facebook 2010 Tweaked v0.1

http://userstyles.org/styles/25037
Tweaked version of the new 2010 facebook style.
Features:
Floating topbar (floating like old facebook toolbar)
Chat transparency
Rounded edges on some objects.
This was just a quick mod, but i hope it is useful to someone.

Facebook: Chat bar displays on the left

http://userstyles.org/styles/25054
It moves the Facebook Chat bar over to the left side of the site.

Facebook – Sticky Top Nav Bar & Other Fixes

http://userstyles.org/styles/25094
This is a tweak that fixes basic usage problems of the new Facebook layout of Feb 2010.
It:

  • sticks the position of the top nav bar so it stays on the screen when you scroll,
  • sticks the position of the left column on the main page so it stays on the screen when you scroll
  • adds a log out button to the nav bar for easy access
  • blinks the new notifications icon to make it more obvious you have new notifications

also provides some other tweaks, such as rounding some of the corners in the top nav bar, drop shadows on menus, and a tiny bit of transparency on offline friend’s chat tabs.
I will update to fix if the basic functionality is broken by Facebook, and may also add other features.
Note that each feature is commented, so if you do not want a specific tweak, just comment it out or delete that section of the style!

YouTube

Youtube Black 2010 no more white on white text

http://userstyles.org/styles/25043
Modified the colors, logos, and text colors on YouTube. Black style with Orange Text&Links to make it always readable and look cool too.
No more white (text or link) on white backgrounds like in the other black Youtube styles!

Plain Black Youtube (New Watch Page)

http://userstyles.org/styles/25233
This is a plain black version of the new watch page with lot functions. There still some bugs and functions can be added/changed/excluded so I’ll update as soon changes.

Glasstube

http://userstyles.org/styles/24861
My Glasser applied to Youtube!

about.com

about.com Confine Images

http://userstyles.org/styles/25148
In about.com forums it is possible to use CSS to make anchored elements, usually pictures, break out visually from the message box and have them overlay other parts of the page or even all of it. This can be used for all kinds of mischievous purposes, using the images as links to other places.
With this little script the CSS features allowing this get reset, so that the picture should stay confined to its message. It also restricts the size of the anchor to 500 x 500 pixels, so it doesn’t break the page layout anymore.
This does not remove any malicious links, so you still shouldn’t click the image. The script can be toggled on and off to check whether something is wrong, and guides and moderators at least are advised to keep it switched off until necessary, or else they might not notice what is going on on their forums.

Stylish

Stylish Window – Gray background texture

http://userstyles.org/styles/25530
Adds a gray background to stylish window.

Global Scripts

Centre (center) direct images

http://userstyles.org/styles/24867

Rainbow Tabs

http://userstyles.org/styles/24904

Glass for TabScope

http://userstyles.org/styles/25225
This Userstyle is for tha add-on TabScope (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/4882).
It’s my first Userstyle that i have created, in take some example on Userstyle.org.

Aqua Scrollbars

http://userstyles.org/styles/25395
This style should work with any theme.
This style changes the scrollbars to closely mimic the look of the aqua scrollbars in Mac OS X.

iTunes Scrollbars

http://userstyles.org/styles/25430
This style should work with any theme.
This style changes the scrollbars to closely mimic the look of the scrollbars in iTunes.

Tilting icons + Omnibar Support

http://userstyles.org/styles/25604
Taken from ChoGGi’s rotating icons (FF 3.1+).
Thanks dude, you’re a good man. Even though I am reposting this lovely style with my tweaks, without your express authority, I think the changes I did to it makes it even more cuter.

I hope that you can find something useful from this list. I use a few of them myself. However, I cannot guarantee that they will work for you. Some scripts conflict with each other. It is all trial and error. What is cool though, is if you do have a problem with a script, you can leave information with the creator on their script page. Another thing is that you can read about issues, reviews, and other pertinent information from within the script page. If you have a script for Greasemonkey that you would like to share, leave a comment and share the wealth. If you like this article, leave a comment and don’t forget to tell others about it. Enjoy the scripts!

User Friendly ‘Stylish’ Scripts

Posted on 19 February 2010 by Tina Brunner

Top 15 Stylish Google Scripts

Posted on 18 February 2010 by Tina Brunner

Recently, I wrote about Greasemonkey user scripts. Today, I am writing about Stylish, which is another Firefox add-on for finding and using scripts to restyle your favorite websites.
To install Stylish, go to add-ons for Firefox and search for Stylish. Once the results are displayed, click the ‘Add to Firefox’ button.
Once you restart Firefox, you will see a ‘S’ box in your status bar. From this box, you can Manage styles,  Turn all styles off, Find styles for this site (which directs you to a new tab using userstyles.org, and displays styles available for the site you were on), Write new styles, and a list of the styles that are being used for the site you are on (once you install scripts for your favorite sites).
There are a couple of differences between Greasemonkey (which scripts JavaScript) and Stylish (which styles CSS). One is, once you install a userscript from Stylish, it immediately takes effect (no need to refresh your screen). Second, you manage your scripts from the same display as your Firefox extensions, plugins, and themes window. Third, you can edit your downloaded scripts from the Stylish window and preview your changes before saving (unlike Greasemonkey, which uses an external editor).
The following list is for the top Google scripts used in Stylish.

IGOOGLE SCRIPTS

iGoogle: Compact & Transparent top bar

This style removes a TON of padding and margins, allowing for more feeds and gadgets on your iGoogle homepage without scrolling. It reduces all headers and RSS links to be single-line only. It also removes the header and footer spacing. As a bonus, this style removes some of the header image, and makes the white bar at the top transparent. Because the text is white, it works best on dark themes.
http://userstyles.org/styles/8037

New iGoogle – Hide The Sidebar, etc.

This style hides the side bar and a couple other annoying things in the new iGoogle.
http://userstyles.org/styles/11373

GMAIL SCRIPTS

Gmail – Simple Header

Removes the header and footer and leaves the search box at the top so that you can focus on using the keyboard shortcut.
http://userstyles.org/styles/19999

Gmail Ads-block and Full-width

This style removes ads and widens the message area of Gmail.
http://userstyles.org/styles/22317

Minimize Labels in Gmail

This style minimizes all labels in gmail to look only like a box. If you mouseover each box, it will expand to show you the name of the label. This greatly increases the amount of space for text in your inbox, especially for emails with many tags on them. The ad sidebar is shrunk down to save space, hovering over it will give you access to the options such as print, new document, and new window.
http://userstyles.org/styles/19588

GOOGLE CALENDAR SCRIPT

Helvetical – Google Calendar User Style

A user style based on Helvetireader by Jon Hicks
Has coloured ‘Other Calendars’ and support for https:// hosted calendars.
Color coded events in the ‘Months’ section, along with RSVP coloring and line-throughs.
http://userstyles.org/styles/20669

GOOGLE DOCS SCRIPT

Google Docs – Mac OS X Leopard Theme

Transform Google Docs into a Mac OS X Leopard app. The buttons are modeled after the leopard Finder toolbar buttons, as are the toolbars. All menus and contextual (right-click) menus are themed to look like the native Mac OS X menus. This theme also styles Google Docs’ DHTML windows to match the actual window chrome from OS X, adding shadows, status bars, lighting and cursor modifications to complete the effect – the two types of windows should look identical after enabling this theme.
http://userstyles.org/styles/22994

GOOGLE MAPS SCRIPT

Google Maps – Minimal

This is a full screen view of Google Maps. To view the sidebar, move your mouse to left side to show sidebar
.
http://userstyles.org/styles/3520

YOUTUBE SCRIPTS

YouTube – Clean

This style removes all the “crap” on youtube for a more user friendly experience.
http://userstyles.org/styles/23215

YouTube Cleaned Up

Gets right of the footer, copyright, google ads, big frontpage ad, side announcement box, “may not be suitable for minors” warning, and other annoyances.
http://userstyles.org/styles/12702

GOOGLE BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY SCRIPT

Google Bookmarks & History – Simple Header

Simplify Google Bookmarks and Google Web History.
http://userstyles.org/styles/20001

GOOGLE GROUPS SCRIPT

GOOGLE NEWS SCRIPT

Helvetinews – Google News

Inspired by Jon Hicks’s Helvetireader (http://helvetireader.com/) and Ad Taylor’s Helvetical (http://www.iamadtaylor.com/helvetical/), this is a Google News user style in the same vein.
*note that this doesn’t restyle Google News Archive pages, because the html for the archive is oddly not marked-up with any ids or classes.

GOOGLE NOTEBOOK SCRIPTS

Google Notebook

This style simplifies the Google Notebook interface to a more minimalistic one removing a lot of the unnecessary bars and other content.

Google Notebook full width

The public view of the Google Notebook is 800px width. This style removes the limitation.
