Back from vacation

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Got back from vacation a few days ago. I took a bike trip from Winnipeg to Toronto - pretty interesting. Anyway, when I got back I found the site wasn’t working too well: 503 and Rails errors. I did some cleanup of the log (1.5GB!) and session (too many for ls to list!) files. I’m […]

Changing the order of UI elements in a user style

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Chrome user interface can be modified in more ways than that of web pages. Since CSS has to be used for, well, everything, some special properties were invented. A couple of the special properties actually let you change the order in which elements are rendered, regardless of where they are in the source. These properties […]

Stylish review

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Someone posted a very long review on the add-ons site.  While the score of the review was only 1/5, I found the text very interesting. The reviewer raised some good points.

When a search doesn’t yield any styles, the site should suggest to check the global styles. It did that until yesterday, when I did some […]

Styling sites that have few or no IDs or classes

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

One of the frequently asked questions I get is how to make styles for sites that have few or no IDs or classes. To explain, I’ll have to go over some CSS concepts. It helps to think of CSS elements as a family (it’s also the way the spec was written), so start thinking of […]

Exceptions in user styles

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Here’s a bug to vote for to make Stylish better - Bug 349813 - Make a way for site (-moz-document) rules to apply on sites *not* matching a URL/prefix/domain.

@import really messes stuff up

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So there was an issue with a style that uses an @import that was no longer available. Apparently, you can’t save a style when an @import doesn’t work, and if you get it while it’s working then lately the site goes down, your Firefox will hang at startup (!).
Because of this issue, I’m going to […]

Opera: Rant/Stylish for?

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

So I went and installed Opera 9 on my work computer (I can’t install it at home because they don’t release a 64 bit version and they’re closed source). They’ve come a long way from a few versions ago, where 1/3 of the screen was filled with useless (to me) UI elements by default. Still […]

Stylesheet service

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Fixing this bug would allow Stylish to instant apply consistently and not require a reload to unapply a style. I hope it’ll get fixed and put on the 2.0 branch.
