This is awesome :) I was wondering if there's any way to have the userscripts work in Opera which can use them natively - but can't use the Stylish extension...

[soph]

I know of at least one Opera user who does this, but I'm not sure of the method they use exactly. Obviously it involves using UserJS for the GM part, but I'm not entirely sure about the custom stylesheets part. I'm sure there must be something that allows restricting by site, though.

BTW, I'd love to reskin LJ and offer it up to peeps (in 2 versions, one for firefox and one for Opera). However, I was wondering if there is any place to find the latest base CSS codes (Horizon) for lj's:

-the Horizon navigation across the top
-the default entry/comment pages (I've wanted to --make this more efficient for AGES)
main logged in home page + footer

Is there any place the base codes are loaded?

[soph]

Oops, I didn't notice this comment until just now, sorry. :(

You can find the base CSS here:

* http://www.livejournal.com/stc/horizon/loggedout.css - for the logged out CSS
* http://www.livejournal.com/stc/horizon/horizontal.css - for the Horizon CSS
* http://www.livejournal.com/stc/horizon/vertical.css - for the Vertigo CSS

However, if you're tinkering, I'd highly suggest seeing if there's a plugin for Opera that can show you exactly how CSS styles are applied. I use the DOM Inspector in Firefox, which allows me to pinpoint an element, and it shows me exactly what rules apply and in what order they're applied, which makes it a cinch to know what I need to modify.

Hope this helps!

WOW!!!

This just ROCKS!!!

I can't tell you how delighted I am!

Now I can still have Dystopia (close enough), no matter what.

::happy dance::

I'm so thrilled you did this and shared it. Thanks so much!

(I just have to ask: Is Ciaran your actual name, or are you a fan of actor Ciaran Hinds? I ask because I'm a huge fan...)

Thanks again!

Re: WOW!!!

[soph]

How do you know I'm not actually Ciaran Hinds myself? I mean, my username *is* "ciaran_h"...

...but no, I'm not really, sorry. :/ But Ciaran *is* my real name - my name's actually Ciaran Hamilton. :D

And I'm really glad you like Visions. :D I use it all the time, heh.

Has anyone tried these in Google Chrome?

[ex_uniquewo]

I'm not seeing any options in Chrome that could make these work. It doesn't even have the custom stylesheet field that IE has.

Oh..boo. thanks for looking!
