Hi! Your style really makes scroogle usable! Is there a way to change the appearance of the links after they have been clicked so it's easier to see that I've already read them? Thanks.
For those that like a dark style this one is really pretty nice. The only problem I've noticed is that when scrolling the view area with a scroll wheel when the view area is moved up it overlays the bottom line of a heading area (at least when viewing the userstyles.org forum) which causes the text to be garbled.
but please can u fix this http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3567/paintedblackyahoomailclrd4.jpg when i hover my mouse on writing message, or when i hover my mouse to add message recipients it turns into dark background, i can even see the txt inside it.. Hope you can fix this .. Thank you!
I've been looking for a good looking dark facebook skin for a long time, and your looks awesome when i just change the domain from userstyles to facebook, just needs some fixes to work all around facebook.
Exactly what I was looking for as part of my dark linux theme, thanks ! But it doesn't seem really compatible with some other styles, especially Gmail Redesigned (by Globex Designs) ...
Really nice althrough some features like local pages handling and image browsing don't work well.
I made a small mod of it, have a look: http://quantumsearcher.net/painted_black.css (unofficial, just a preview. I won't publish it here without knowing if I can)
Tested with Firefox 3 RC1 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0) .
Almost everything is good except the code dosen't seem as fast as sonicspike41's. The background is still white for a second until it switches to black.
When replying to a message in GMail the text that is being typed is black against a dark gray background...........a light color would be great for this.
FINALLY! I've been wating for such an idea to be implemented! But makes the browser look FUUGLY when there are only a few tabs open because of a lot of gray space.
not sure where wolfgrrl is getting off only giving this userstyle 3 stars. This is the best dark yahoo mail userstyle I have seen so far. encourage the users who devote their time to modify css and share their work.
Absolutely amazing! The black/grey scheme with silver/white goes very well together. I'd absolutely love you forever if you would change Gmail to a scheme like this. (Yes, I'm aware there's "Gmail - Dark Grey" out there, but for some reason, it doesn't work for me).
You should change the forum so that it that it is colour coded like the way it was before. ex. black for posts recently read, gray for posts read a few days ago, and light grey for posts never read, etc. Also, when there are new posts, next to "New", the number should be red, so it stands out. If the number is zero, then leave it as the same grey colour, and also I think it is better if you just leave the top and sidebars there, without having to hover over them.
The best design eye I've seen for GMail 2.0 so far, and, as you said author, still needs a lot of work.
One particular issue that is a deal-breaker for me: Chat windows, including profile mouseovers on the side, are transparent, and show everything that is underneath them, which is usually some part of the inbox, rendering chat completely unusable unless you "pop out" chat windows every time.
Also, the inability to distinguish between a chat person's name and their status is very troublesome.
Other things that need to be fixed: - Difference between read and unread messages in the inbox need to be more distinct. - Unstarred messages look brighter than starred messages. Darken the unstarred (and fix the terrible aliasing around the starred messages). - Tighten up the space between the top search field and the Compose Message link, and everything below it. That space at the top has been totally abused by Google. Should be eliminated completely. - Suggest removing the "grid" background image. It's kind of cheesey. Perhaps make the background color itself slightly lighter.
Been looking for something like this for absolutely ages. I'm sure staring at a bright white text screen late at night is having some effect on my eyes!
