Stylish 0.4 status
Implemented so far:
- The Apply button has been replaced by a Preview button. Preview does not save your code, it simply applies it so you can see the effect of the style. For example, you can check out a style from userstyles.org without actually saving it.
- The ability to open as many Add Style windows as you want.
- A hidden by default Tools menu. To see it, add a style for #stylish-tools-menu { display: -moz-box !important}.
- Global styles and styles specific to the current page are now also visible under View -> Page Styles
- Users of trunk nightlies will get improved and more consistent style applies and unapplies. The upgrades to Gecko’s stylesheet service mean that styles can be applied and unapplied immediately and at the same priority.
- A future fix for 2.0 branch and trunk nightly users so that the “Create style for…” menu items don’t include domains that aren’t really domains, (for example, for www.bbc.co.uk, www.bbc.co.uk and bbc.co.uk are now shown and co.uk isn’t.) I call this a “future fix” because while the Gecko service is there to provide the information, currently no information has been entered into it.
- Flock 0.8 support
Also planned for the next release:
- Updating of styles you installed from userstyles.org
- Some additional explanatory text for the CSS-ignorant.
I’ll be putting up a development version sometime soon for those who want to try it out. Keep an eye on the discussion thread.

Where can we upload images so that they can be used in user style sheets? This would make it very interesting, and more of a zen-garden then a css-font garden. We’re sooo limited. Most photo albums make your images JPG, where a lot of css background images are png or gif. Also, it needs a real absolute url, available to anyone. And, bandwidth, lots of bandwidth. I am not saying you should provide it, there’s probably something out there already (some photo-album provider).

Would it be possible to change the style description pages so single line breaks are treated as s and double line breaks as ? Trying to layout text in an easy to read manner is a pain with the current set-up.
