Just a quick FYI: The previous link I posted for my modified script, which adds a direct link to the website under the images, no longer works. The script can now be found on this page:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've been using this script for years, this is not the same as using the browser "own color" option, it does not destroy stylesheet and such, I just wish there was a more sophisticated script that would tone down instead of blindly switching colors, this kinda remove a lil too much visual information, yet the main benefit is you can browse 4 times longer without eye fatigue, beats the information loss AFAIC :)

very much like the idea of this script but agree that it changes the web page too much. in fact this script seems to have the same effect as unticking "Allow pages to use their own colours" on the colours window via tools/options/content in firefox.

i'm interested in a script that softens the harshness of so many websites with white backgrounds (like many others i get migraines and have vision problems). so i'd be very interested in changing only the white background areas to ,say, grey, and leaving the rest of the website unchanged.

SanskritFritz (and anyone else interested), you can grab a modified copy of the from here:
http://www.legroom.net/modules/Open_Source/fire...

I hacked this together a while back, so I don't recall if it's based on FurYy's suggestion of it it's something else I came up with, but it does the job nicely. You're more than welcome to it.

[b]Patrick[/b], thanks for that useful script!
[b]<u>YM</u>[/b], please provide me with the hacked version of the script. I tried to apply the suggestions made by FurYy below, but something went wrong, and I got some veeeery looong links under the pictures :-(
Email me at greasemonkey@mailbox.hu please.

Any way you can make a copy of this script for the Yahoo Images search? Yahoo Images Relinker would make my life complete. :-)

I love the script, and I have a working version based on FurYy's method of adding links to the web site. It replaces the domain text (the third line below the image) with a link to the web page. I'd be glad to show you my changes.

Anyone know how to make this work for Blingo images?

It's absolutely frustrating that this one script has not worked for me because I really really want it to :-) For example, with the script installed and doing an image search for the term "korat" (safesearch turned on, it should bring up a bunch of cat pictures.) At the bottom of the first page of pictures, there is one yellowish picture sized 800x600,

"800 x 600
800 x 600 pixels - 104k - jpg
www.katter.nu"

Well, just clicking the link brings me to

http://www.katter.nu/special/korat/bak.htm

or if I "right click->copy image location" on top of the image, i get this location,

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:GsMZYnlX8...

(I was under the impression that the script would obliterate the first part of the link I just pasted, everything from the start (http) to the second colon (lX8vUJ:) and write that as the clickable link)

I don't like it. The script changes a web page far too much for it to be useful.

And oh yeah, it's working on Greasemonkey 0.6.3 on Firefox 1.5_rc3.

This doesn't appear to work in 1.5b2. Is it just me or can anyone confirm?

FurYy — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 11:54:00 +0000

That is:

googFonts[x].innerHTML="

nitro322 : If you'd like to have links to thewebsite i made this little hack to the script.

After "var GoogLinks" add this:
var googFonts = selectNodes(doc, doc.body, "//FONT[contains(@color,'#008000')]");

And between "if(gmatch)" brackets before href gets replaced:

googFonts[x].innerHTML="

And you should be done with ;)

put a * as a website to make it default for all webpages

This is a really great script. However, one great addition would be if you could leave it enabled for all sites, but only selectively activiate it when needed. Eg, all pages by default are displayed normally, but if you hit something like Alt-P it will activate the script.

Hi, Patrick. This is a great script, but I have one request. Sometimes, in addition to loading the direct image, I'd also like to directly load the website that contains the image. I've found that this line will get that value:
var ghtml = googLinks[x].href.match( /\&imgrefurl\=(.*?)\&h\=/ );
However, I can't figure out how to output a new link to the page. Basically, I'd like to make the image link directly to the source image, but then have a new link underneath or beside it that links to the containing web page.
Any chance you could add this capability? Thanks!

Working under GM 0.6.2, another extension replaced by greasemonkey.
