This is indeed more elegant than the original HN style.
But:
Installing stylish wasn't straightforward. It didn't tell me if I had to restart firefox or not. I restarted firefox and it had lost my opened tabs. This is stylish's fault.
I also noticed that firefox navigation toolbar is twice as big as before and it uses Georgia to render text inside the url and search fields. Weird and stylish's fault.
Ah, it turns out every site is using the new CSS. That won't do it :(
One thing that could be improved: the text field I am typing this text in can't be resized :( and its borders don't match the rest of the theme.
But it's indeed an elegant and readable theme. I like the 50-60 character limit for each line.
Good job, but I won't use it because of stylish disruptive effects on my browsing experience. I remember that before stylish I would drop css in the firefox profile and it would just apply to a specific domain. Is that still possible ?
- mhd 13y agoRead my other comment in this thread, the stylish file has a bad domain restriction, enclose everything after it in a set of braces ({}), and it's fine.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoStill didn't work for me in Chrome. I wasn't sure how that conflicted with the 'applies to' config setting in the UI, and I tried various combinations before giving up. A shame, but it seems that Stylish just isn't production-ready.
- mhd 13y agoStylish does very little (and you don't need it at all in Chrome), if there's anything wrong with the matching/styling, that's a fault of the userstyle/userscript, which have been around since, well, forever. The chrome extensions pointed to by the OP link has a long list of domains it matches against in its manifest.json file. Looks alright to me.
- johnchristopher 13y agoThanks, maybe I'll try later. Note: I have to ask myself why stylish seems to allow modification of firefox's chrome. I have lost touch with the state of things in firefox extensions but I don't remember it being promoted as a skinning extension.
