Styles
BEST USED AS A SCRIPT TO APPLY TRULY ARBITRARILY WITH WILDCARDS I've created this style just to automatically create the GreaseMonkey script and apply it to arbitrary URL's, particularly forum indexes and other table-based pages that don't need one label sitting waaaay on the left and another waaaay on the right. this includes most "index.php" pages and most places where you are viewing forum topics and overviews of forum threads, but not threads themselves. If you want, you can also add includes for sites you get hotlinks to and nothing else. For me that's sites like Linkswarm.com or wtfpeople.com/links.php Add excludes for *viewtopic* *showtopic* or any other place.
In Windows inside the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res" folder is a bunch of .css files that dictate the defaults for how Firefox styles common element schemes. Here is a bunch of stuff about what kind of list-style-type that is implemented for lists that the Mozilla folk felt should be the default. Edit it to your liking.
Forces all links, images, forms and anything that you input text to submit in (except textareas) to be centered. Use this anywhere except for a bunch of damned button forms are put in a list and you want the buttons to line up. I suggest installing as a script so you can arbitrate where it applies more flexibly.
This is to replace my style that did some additional little stretching of containers using CSS that only applied to FireFox's Quirks display mode. I was finally inspired to perfect this when I was at userscripts.org and found this http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6415 -- but it was oddly shrinking FARK headlines to the [tag] and others to about 2px wide. it sucked. So, I found out that just stretching html and body to the max, and setting max-width: inherit to all elements simultaneously did everything that script says it should do and more. Other styles have been preserved. Update 4/24/07: I hadn't used sharing or staring for a long time in Reader, so I didn't know something was off about this style until I turned it off to figure out a problem I had with the folders in the sidebar collapsing themselves. Because I don't star or share anything anymore, I had also adblocked all */reader/ui/* images, and so icons weren't even being displayed. Apparently my style
Some things I've encorporated from other styles I've created that look good in Google Reader, as well as some suggestions I made for the original Google Reader Optimized. I suggest adding this to my "Google Reader Simpler Optimized"
Headers are really titles. I think they should be centered. Let's all adopt this. You'd be surprised how well this looks in most places. For another eye-saving method, you can put bylines and post-footers, and the date/meta in blog entries as aligned on the right. This way their location is easy to find yet does not present itself as important as the content of an article or its title. Update: July 14 2006 As with some updating I did with Quote Colorer, capitalization seems to matter. So I added the mirror images of the elements. Update: October 6, 2006: Perfected. Update: December 7, 2006: Really perfected. Really! Also changed "-moz-center" to just "center" to work better since userstyles are now optionally userscripts to install in GreaseMonkey and Opera alike. But remember "-moz-center" is a valid style in Firefox. Update: June 13, 2007 god rid of that "threedshadow" crap. Replaced with a css property that mozilla can use, in spite of my formal ed
For sites with backgrounds *other than* something yellowish or similar to #FFFCCC, this is a good scheme for coloring quotes, or elements classed as quotes, or TD.quote, which I found is the element used for quotes on phpBB forums using SubSilver (probably most SubBlack forums too). For example, look at the post by "Original Intent" (Posted - 08/14/2006 : 14:03:36 ), on http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6570 . Then look at this snapshot of what it looks like with my Quote Colorer 2.0: http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/399/quotecolorerexamplekk7.png . This is the ultra cool thing my code does. Just remember the scheme for the quote levels, and you can easily determine what the author meant with all 'dem quotes. Additionally, if somebody quotes somebody who quotes somebody else, I have a background for that. And one step further. Typically this is only needed in raw HTML. Forums have a nice-enough scheme for quotes that quotes-in-quotes look nice within th
A bunch of Reddit users keep complaining that since the domain amazonaws.com keeps having server problems, the stylesheet that forms the arrows and logo at Reddit goes away and it screws up their whole day. Silly, silly Redditors. The "Arrows" are just beckground images, put behind linkified areas. All we have to do is assign those areas spacial dimensions and background colors, and they never go away, and remain functional. Use your own colors for the arrows if you find mine to... shall we say... loud?
I think all sidebars should be centered. I just do. They're on the side. If the body is left-aligned or justified, this is pretty spiffy. I also included centering blogroll lists, and the sidebars of blogspot.com blogs. Works for me!
This appends the [cite] attribute to the bottom of block quotes where it is used (you'll see tons of them at Technorati), as a block element, navy backround, white text.. I reccomend this go along with my "Quote Colorer 2.0," , which I'm updating at the same time as this new release. You can see this style used very redundantly at Technorati if you do a tag search or a "sites that link to this blog" search, but I suggest looking at my blog since I came up with this style at my blog.
