For the new facebook look, try this style: http://userstyles.org/styles/9711
sadly the new facebook is pretty incompatible with the old, so this style will not function properly on it, so follow the link for the new version.
Well, this is mostly a culmination of other styles plus my asthetic tweaks. I tended to compound "Facebook facelift" By alaaaaaaaaan, "Facebook - Black gloss" By xavio, and "Facebook Always Expand Applications", By ericush.....so i decided to simplify things and make them all one, and tweak it a bit more to my liking. I got a bit carried away and customized the heck out of it.
facebook has added chat!
contact: captainjohnmurphy@gmail.com
contact me for improvements to the style, but please limit it beyond that.
Please note, this is mostly their work. I'm not taking credit for it. Most of what I changed where jut asthetics.
Perhaps overdone, but this is the first thing I've messed with, and i like black greys and blues. It's easy on the eyes, and cooler than facebook normally looks.
Made to be dark, mostly shades of grey and dark blues.
Expands all applications, as with ericush's style, has a nice background (made similar to alaaaaaaaaan's background), uses xavio's glossy header that i love so much, and removes facebook sponsored ads from the minifeed(that one was mine).
The facebook sponsor adds are gone, so you'll hafta take off this style in order to seem them....although I'm not sure who would want to.
I've tried to keep readability high, contact me for anything that is difficult to read, ill try to fix it quickly.
At this point, everything done directly by facebook is pretty solid. Apps are still a bit sporatic, since every app is coded differently.
IF YOU HAVE A FAVORITE APP YOU WANT ME TO FIX, TELL ME. Redoing the style would take forever, but handling one app's page would not take me that long. Ask and you most likely shall receive.
leave me reviews please, i dont know what to properly tweak without feedback. Rate me, give advice, etc.
latest updates: fixes to text background, fixed a few adjustments to some popular apps
If you want a style with transparencys and a little fancier, try this one:
Shades of dark transparentcy, w/o adds
it's a new one of mine, still new, uses alot of transparent images. All original.
latest fix: A few apps, and motorbikematt's comment about difficult to see labels in profile info. They appeared fine on my screen, but most people dont have the same moniter as mine.I ESPECIALLY appreciate this type of feedback!, i dont really have the time or money to go around trying this out on a variety of moniters, and if i wanted the style to only work for me, i wouldn't have uploaded this. Thusly, if it's hard to see something or contrast seems off, LEAVE A COMMENT OR EMAIL ME, PLEASE. Thanks!
I believe I got all of facebook chat covered, if you find anything that contradicts this, even a small thing, e-mail me bout it.
Leave comments on potential changes/fixes.
known issue: for some reason, the "see all" page for "people you may know" won't load properly while this style is equipped. I have no idea why just yet, but i'll have some time off in a few weeks to debug this. As for now, just take the style off and reload the page and it should show just fine for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Excellent, even with the low contrast, the title text are now legible. For these late-night owl eyes, keeping it dark is important.
Why the software designers and internet publishers as a whole don't understand that monitors are not sheets of paper, and do not need white backgrounds with black text is beyond me. Maddox got it right:

I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.
