Its also easy to change the colours to whatever your preference is, via the new Colour Scheme Editor. You can access the colour scheme editor via the Firefox "Tools/Greasemonkey/UserScript Commands" menu.

Jun 27, 2008 steeev Script's author	ive fixed the problem with the sets page now

Jun 12, 2008 steeev Script's author	yeah i noticed this too, it only seems to happen when set is viewed in thumbnail mode, in other mode, it seems ok, i will investigate it when i get some time, thanks.

Jun 12, 2008 sharmard User	I'm seeing some cases where this script suppresses all the photos in a set. For example, http://www.flickr.com/photos/lenlangevin/sets/7... without the script shows photos, but with the script enabled all I get is a blank page.

Jun 3, 2008 steeev Script's author	this script makes use of the cool colour picker DHTML control from http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com. BTW ive updated the script, so it works better on the international versions of the site, and also now displays an indicator to show whether an image is faved or not.

Jun 1, 2008 steeev Script's author	script is fixed now

Jun 21, 2007 steeev Script's author	this script is currently broken, you can read why, and get the updated version here

Mar 24, 2007 Can't Say No User	The cause of the "delay" people are mentioning is the basic fact that, as they should, scripts do not take effect until after a page has loaded.

Mar 23, 2007 steeev Script's author	i dont think its possible to get rid of the delay, if i knew how to fix that i would have done already. if anyone knows how to remove the delay, please let me know, cheers.

Mar 23, 2007 Jeff Vestal User	I really like this script. I have been wishing that I could change the background of flickr pages. It works great. I agree with Julie-Anne in also wishing there wasn't the short delay before it turns black. But it is not a big problem.

Mar 22, 2007 killerraar User	wut a inutil script, i'm srry, but for wut will i want the flickr site on the blk collor.... ¬¬

Mar 22, 2007 steeev Script's author	ive updated the script a bit. ive replaced the graphical parts of the main flickr menu with text links, to give the pages a more consistent look. though i havent got the menus working 100% the way they normally do, its not too bad. ive also made it easier to edit the pages colours, see the script for more info.

Mar 17, 2007 Perla Lewis User	I love this script! Thanks!!!

Nov 24, 2006 Julie-Anne User	Hi :) I'm new to this site... I did this script and i so love the black ground and white text !! I always wanted flickr to have this option :)) My only niggle with it is...there seems to be a little time laspe till it goes black from the white.. it's not a real big deal and i will cope with it..but it could get a bit fustrating to the eyes LOL Is this normal and happens to everyone? Can it be fixed somehow ? I/m enjoying these scripts! Keep up the good work!:) Kind regards Jules xx

Jun 10, 2006 dylan defalco User	Never mind. My reinstallation of the script didn't go through and I just had to do it again.

Jun 10, 2006 dylan defalco User	I'm having problems with this script. When I click on one of the dropdown arrows in that top bar thing they added in gamma it clicks straight through. For example, if I click on the arrow next to the "You" button, it acts as if I had clicked on the word "You" instead of bringing up the menu.

May 16, 2006 steeev Script's author	the script was working fine on the new flickr gamma update, but ive updated it to replace the new flickr gamma logo.

Apr 13, 2006 steeev Script's author	ive tested it on ff 1.5 and gm 0.6.4 and it works fine.

Mar 19, 2006 Scott 1 User	Snowblindness? Thier default color combination is about as natural and normnal as you can get.

Sep 4, 2005 Balachandar User	Hey can you give some more options in colours/shades..Luv this.

Aug 16, 2005 steeev Script's author	ive fixed the bug with the notes, reinstall for the fixed version.

Aug 3, 2005 Stephan Walter Scriptwright	hi, I think you should remove some of the tags, they just clog up the list on the front page. "flickr color" should be enough. -Stephan
