GreaseMonkey script: UsePerlOrg_simplifier.user.js

TorgoX on 2006-07-29T03:23:04

Dear All,

I have just uploaded a new GreaseMonkey script, UsePerlOrg_simplifier.user.js. It simplifies the design of use.perl.org pages in a few minor ways.

Here's what it does:

  • Fixes titles of journal entry pages to actually contain the entry's title.
  • Restyles post-numbered permalinks (like "#34234") to just the permalink icon (§)
  • Restyles username links to drop the useless user number (i.e., a link to "TorgoX (1933)" becomes "TorgoX")
  • Hides a bunch of interface elements that I find to be, well, not simple.

I wrote it originally just for myself, but I welcome everyone to try it out and/or modify it as desired.

And if or when you don't like what it does, turn it off.

How well does it play with theme preferences?

The Homepage Preferences contain the following desing-related options:

  • Simple Design
  • Low Bandwidth
  • No Icons

Does this script play nice with non-default settings for these?
