Primary Platform: Firefox with Greasemonkey plugin; developed using v2.0.0.20–3.6
(much effort is being put into making all platforms work alike) Compatible with Google Chrome latest-beta: Easy-install walkthrough animation, alternate
(round-corners & gradients supported; no config or update check, yet) Compatible with Opera latest-version: Easy-install walkthrough image, alternate
(no round-corners, config or update check, yet) Google Search Sidebar recommended and compatible with this script
Note: Works best if you install the sidebar [1st] _and then_ this.Script [2nd]
(Shown in screen shot above along right side of Web Search preview) Favicons for Google Reader also plays nicely with this script & is a good add-on
(Shown in Reader screen shot above) Screenshots show NASA Night Launch Theme for Firefox (minimalized) iGoogle: All Themes Supported! Gmail: basic HTML view enhanced; Themes suitable for Standard view
• Configuration Panel: from a Google site, right-click GM icon & select User Script Commands
• International localities supported; backward-compatible with old versions of Google webware
• Web Results adaptive resolution support from 800x600 to 2560x1600 (see sidebar note above)
Feel free to leave ideas, criticism or ask for help in the Discussion forum or via email (find in script-source); THANX
