My compliments to the chef. This script is a delight to the eyes. Those of us who spend a lot of time at the monitor appreciate such things.

There is one problem and another enhancement I would like to cite.

First, the drop-down autosuggest retains the white background which makes the text invisible. This is important enough to me for me to consider the script broken as it stands.

Second, it would be great to lengthen the search input box to, say, double its current ridiculously short length.

Ok, I lengthened the input box with the following addition:

/* XXX search input */ "INPUT[type='text'], INPUT[name='q'] {width:675px; !important; background:#333 ...

But the drop-down problem I currently do not know how to get at.

Thanks again,
Paul

Post script, 7/15/09: Gabe has enlarged the search box and fixed the color clash of the suggestions drop-down box, so I'm raising my rating to a Five. The workman is worthy of his wages! :)

I love this script....
very easy on eyes.....color scheme is superb and well thought

This is one of the best scripts out there.

I always liked white on black layouts. I think they definitely reduce eye strain

Getting this script is just plain cool.

It has all the good essential changes and is a very good customization. Google should by default have a theme like this built into it.

Kudos on a very well done script.

I always like black.. This script is really great.

Yeah, how y'all doin?

It was about 3 months ago I suppose when I first started looking into this "Black Google" thing. I've always used their search box code in my personal home page's that I write up for my PC at the house and it's always black.

When I found out that there was such a thing as greasemonkey, I was nervous. Who in their right mind would install javascript code on their browser that some other internet junkie wrote, right?

Well, Gabe's creation here made me quit looking for ways to spice up Google. Once I had this script installed on Firefox, it stayed there and hasn't been changed since.

I recently started seeing if I could understand how these work and came up with a few mods for the source that fixed some of the quirks that people were commenting about.

Not only is this script very well written, but the energy behind it is clean and friendly. Call me nuts if you like, but it takes some doing to write code and it takes some heart to make it work as well as this one does.

Thank You Gabe, for the script, the inspiration, and keeping things tidy and logged.

Great Job!
