Plans for Stylish 1.0
The next version of Stylish is under development and will be Toolkit 1.9 (Firefox 3) only. Major goals of this release include:
- Taking advantage of updates to the Mozilla platform. This includes functional additions, performance improvements, and code reductions.
- Injection of Stylish UI into logical places in the existing Firefox UI, rather than throwing new UI elements where they don’t really make sense.
- UI changes in accordance to various HIGs and user expectations.
- Drop underused features added in previous versions.
I think with these changes, I’ll drop the beta-esque version number and jump ahead to 1.0.
Once the development reaches a usable state, alphas will be posted.
The Stylish 0.5 series will continue with maxVersion updates and any compatibility fixes needed to maintain the same functionality. No new features will be added to this series. In addition, userstyles.org will continue to support integration with this series.

Sounds like some nice plans, something that would be a nice feature is enabling [tab] in the style edit box…
If you want to go another level, Syntax highlighting FTW.

THE USERSTYLES ORG INSTALL LINK DOES NOT WORK. IT SAYS INSTALL STYLISH AND REFERS YOU TO ADDONS EXTENSION STYLISH. IT SHOULD SAY INSTALL IN STYLISH LIKE BEFORE. COULD YOU PLEASE FIX IT. THANKS, SUE

Will You add option to “turn on” and “turn off” Stylish? Like in Greasemonkey.

I don’t intend on having a turn on/off feature. If you want to turn it off, you can disable the extension.

Which underused features are you thinking of dropping? Hopefully it won’t be the very useful encode-as-base64 dialog.
A nice new feature for 1.0 would be the separation of “purpose” and “revision” descriptions for styles, like on AMO. Then, the Update dialog could be converted to a richlistbox that shows the revision description for updated styles.
