Styles
This stylesheet now really does three things: removes ad space, removes 'clutter' (i.e. too many, not-really-necessary elements in too little space), and employs some _minor_ style twists for a more pleasing look. The various parts of the stylesheet are clearly labeled. If you don't like some part, simply delete the appropriate section. Note: Some subsections of the site ('world', 'debate', 'members', ?) still use an old stylesheet - I haven't tried to style those. The articles under those headings conform to the new stylesheet (and thus to this mod). This stylesheet blocks the site's self-promoting popups. 'Blocks' here means doesn't show. Consider using Greasemonkey to modify the popup scripts or Stylish-creator Jason Barnabe's YesScript to block the site from using javascript altogether. Tip: The 5/week article limit imposed on non-registered non-subscribers is cookie-based, not ip-based. Flush/block their cookies and continue reading.
No changes to site other than the removal of the right column and changing some widths to make up for white space...
This is an attempt at making the articles and front page of the nytimes.com site less 'busy' and more useful - in particular for readers who do not need local info but just want the news. - Links to various alternative ways to browse the site (my times, today's paper, etc.) are removed - Ads, personals, weather info and similar reader services are removed. - Articles display redux-style (looses some links to other sections and articles for a less cluttered display) For advertising blocking purposes this style should be used in conjunction with the Adblock (Plus) extension.
NOTE: This style is no longer revised or maintained as I got tired of fighting with monobook for control and bored with the look. Along with Wikipedia - Wiki(square) this is only online for 'archival' reasons. Feel free to copy, but please don't use. This style sheet overhauls a number of Wikimedia sites (chief among them en.wikipedia.org) for simplicity, legibility and consistency. It replaces the default monobook look with a more classic encyclopedia-/textbook-like theme, turns the menus into the dropdown variety and reduces the number of sister article links (links to the same article on different-language wikipedias) to a more manageable level and allows you to customize which you want displayed (e.g. only the Dutch and Swahili ones).
This is a slightly reduced version of Wikipedia - Grey Lady , primarily intended for those who wish to load the style as a script. Apart from making it available to non-Firefox-browsers, it may also be a good FF option too, as large pages feel decidedly less sluggish this way. It is, however, a fairly large and unwieldy style sheet and the script does not seem to produce the desired results as consistently as Stylish's implementation. NOTE: Just tried this in Opera... Not pretty :( Dunno about Safari...?
NOTE: This style is no longer revised or maintained as I got tired of fighting with monobook for control and bored with the look. Along with Wikipedia - Grey Lady this is only online for 'archival' reasons. Feel free to copy, but please don't use. A skin for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites (by default only English language site is enabled), it features a simple, clean and uncluttered interface for a better on-screen reading experience. The style sheet, licensed under a CC license (see code comments), is thoroughly documented for the benefit of anyone wishing to borrow or modify. Version 0.94 attempts to convert the menus to mouse-over menus (just css, no javascript) - sort of a compromise between cutting them and leaving them in. It's by no means perfect but it works, mostly. I'm probably gonna leave this thing be for a while, so I thought I'd post the best I had achieved so far.
A simple stylesheet to adjust the page to the lack of ads. Some nice black bars for the header, a slightly increased font size and less self promotion. For advertising blocking purposes this style should be used in conjunction with the Adblock (Plus) extension. Adblock filters the content before it gets downloaded, thus saving you bandwidth. Stylish - which can only prevent ads from being displayed, not downloaded - is used to target what slips through Adblock's cracks and to eliminate the blank, white spaces that Adblock occasionally leaves behind.
