Hides the following things from the Facebook chat bar: "Applications" text, change language, bookmarked applications, "Bookmark this application", "Chat" text.
This script is useful if you use a resolution which has a low width because Facebook will show more chat tabs, which means less scrolling to find a chat tab.

Features:

  • Hide the Applications text
  • Hide the change language button
  • Hide your bookmarked applications (bookmarked applications can still be accessed using the Facebook icon on the bottom-left corner)
  • Hide the Bookmark this application link that appears when you are on an application (applications can still be bookmarked by pressing the Facebook icon on the bottom-left corner and then by dragging your application from the Recently used list into the Bookmarks list)
  • Hide the Chat text (only the number of online friends is shown)
  • Autosize the Chat block

These are only some simple CSS modifications, but like I said, this is useful if you are on a low resolution and you have many chat tabs open.

As you can see, by hiding the above elements, the number of tabs that can be shown on my 1024x768 resolution grows from 2 tabs to 5 tabs, which is not bad...

You probably won't find this script useful if you have a widescreen monitor or close your chats when you don't need them.
