I would LOVE to have this work, and I can't figure out why it's not. Of course I realize every script will work, but I'M REALLY sick of the giant white Google page(s)
As a matter of fact, the only script that I've been able to successfully run are flashblock and yahoo paint it black.
This script is cool, but the update reminders on the Google home page drive me crazy. They always pop up in the corner of the screen, and they won't go away even if you update Google Black. They are nothing more than a self-promoting tool of the script writer. The script is great, but I won't be using it anymore because I don't need annoying pop-ups with flashing text. Ridiculous.
I really liked the script at first, but had to discontinue it for one reason: most of my entries in gcal had their color stripped from them, in agenda and in month viewing mode. This made the easy-to-see color coding normally in gcal (when one like I do uses many different calendars for work, personal, etc. That color function is essential functionality which was the flaw that made me uninstall ....
I like the black theme. But the problem is some text is invisible. I'm from Australia so my google is google.com.au. The 2 tabs where to select "the web" or "pages from Australia" those text are invisible on the results page but main page no problem.
This used to be a vreay neafty script. works pretty good.
since last update a small money bag icon was added to all google pages (which is a donation link!!)
and an advertisment link is AUTOMATICALY added to all my outgoing private EMAIL without my CONCENT !!
this is a seriouse privacy issue in my opnion.
after uninstalling and reinstalling the script the problem went away so this isn't adware but since the problem could accure I cannot afford to take this risk of something like this showing up on my emails.
I gave this 3 starts since if this issue happened there has to be some code that supports it. it would be best if that code would have never been writen
Because of a side-effect of one of my illnesses I get a problem with my eyes, if I see to much light in my area. So I like this script of "Greasemonkey" very much, it give me rest and I can sit longer as usuel behind the computer.
The problems with my eyes isn't easy for my family, but they respect it. I'm bedridden and handicapped, so I use the computer to have contact with others; I cannot watch a long time to a white screen (with normal daylight from outside). If the sun in shining in my livingroom, I put the 'venetian blinds' down, to bring more darkness. When I'm outside I can easy watching round in the daylight, only with the sun than I need sunglasses. If the problem started, I was behind my PC with sunglasses, but that's not easy watching if you need glasses to reed. Two glasses on my head (I've tried) it's crazy... :-), but the coming of this "Enchanged Black"-script gives more rest for my eyes and really. So the Userscript.org is also a medication :-)).
Only there must be more cooperation between the another script-makers, because p.e. with the program Downloadhelper (Firefox add-ons) and another script you can download from ± 40 websites. But now is the background black and nobody can watch that download-logo in the right corner below (Keep Tube)... So how can you fix that problem?
Anyway thanks you help me, and you thanks that you made all that scripts.
I'm open, honnest and sincere to myself and to others...!
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!

I like this version of Google better than the default one, and it is easier on the eyes.
