Yeah, this script has been installed over 2500 times. Thank you very much everyone.

I hope i can very soon finish this script the way i had in mind. I can't promise anything, but stay tuned.

This is still a beta version, and I'm not sure if all works for everybody.
So please leave a comment if all works or not!

Have fun using it, gr Jerone

$5 Options:

To make settings for this script you have to go to Tools > GreaseMonkey > User Script Commands > Userscripts.org Input Button.
A new settingsfield will open, where you can make your own stylish settings.
On the new settingsfield you can enable, disable the script or set different colors for the border, background and text color. You can also put your own text in the button if you like.
Its also possible to set your preferred language for the settingsfield (refresh required).
Use the Preview button to preview the new settings, Cancel to cancel the settings, or Submit to set your new settings.
When clicking on the Updater button a extra field will open, which shows information about the server and script version, when the last update was and after what time a new one is possible.

$6 Todo:

  • GM_registerMenuCommand for custom styles,
  • add more inputs on userscripts.org,
  • some kind off update checking system,
  • multilingual:
    • English (done myself),
    • Dutch (done myself),
    • ...
  • improve code (professional),
  • crossbrowser (IEPro + UserJS),
  • release parts of this script for other scripts to use (copyright).

$7 Notes:

I made this userscript in Dreamweaver 8.
I tested it in Firefox 2.0.0.9 with GreaseMonkey 0.7.
This script is copyrighted and i prefer if you ask if you can 'borrow' parts of this script.
Installing is at own risk and i can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
Want to reward me for putting time and sweat into making this free userscript; (thank you).

Today pasted the 1500 installs for a userscript with a lot (read: REALLY A LOT) of code, which does just one thing; add a little styled button. Yeah. ^_^

Known. I used it as a starting point, until i improved it a lot to my needs and thoughts about an updater.

In my opinion better appearance to look for update:

Replace only

del.icio.us posting
with
 script name version number

You can find it here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8562

For look new comments or update scripts I use http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8911 (better than RSS).

I don't know JS (only some C++, maybe You can recommend me pages or books with courses?) so I only can give You some idea and I can translate final code from English to Polish.

I'll let you know.

On the update message I'm still working. I'll probably give it the same look as the settingsfield, but you'll notice this too.

Thank you for the interest, gr J

Ok, so I wait when You separate code of the updating system and then, if I have some idea to iprovement, I give You to know.

O, and update notification better look in Seifer script.

Hello matrixik,

You're talking about only the update system, right? Because Seifer script is only to update a script.
I've found that script before, but it has a lot disadvantages in contrary than mine script.

Maybe i contact him, but first i want to be sure mine script works and i have still some small plans i want to add.
After that I'm going to release the update system as a apart script (just like Seifer did). Then its up to the scriptwriters to choose there best choice.

gr J

Maybe You can look that:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12193

and maybe You can contact with Seifer to help him do better his script or his script can help You to do better your script.

I think about the smaller and quicker code for the actualization.

I released the new script, with its new features.
It's still in beta stage, so it may contain some bugs.
Some comments on the new script would be preferred; if everything is working or not.
