Script Summary: Make any sites' or pages' text colors clearer. It is set, by alt-m, to temporarily change colors, or ctrl-m to permanently change them. Supports regexp. Useful where text is grey on grey because of "dark" color settings or a dark colour theme. Customizable colours or change default colors for all marked sites.
Version: October 2010. Google Chrome platform adaptation.
Now can be installed on Google's Chrome Browser
How to use -------------- After installing this script when you come across a site that has hard to read, low contrast text, then hit alt-m to cycle through clearer colors for that site but not to permanently change them. If the page remains somewhat unclear, hit the hotkey a second time for more extreme text clarity on that page; to remove the effect repeat alt-m until it is back to normal. Colors & hotkey are customizable. Menu option "Make permanent the temporary site setting" keeps the settings for subsequent visits to the page. Alternately, hit control-m, to make a site's colors permanently more clear immediately, with customizable background & text colours. Hit control-m again to toggle the site's permament and/or customized settings . The rest is fairly self-explanatory, but anyhow...from the scripts submenu you can set default text colour, background color etc. for marked sites. Selecting "mark site..." allows you to enter a word or to leave it blank and just hit "OK." By default it is left blank and the whole site is marked for better visibility, which means that the color of text on that site will, by default, be set to a dark color, the background is not changed by default but can be set by the user via another submenu option. If a word is entered after "Mark site..." is selected, then only pages on the site that have that word in their URL will be affected. If a site has already been marked and you visit it again, or reload it, the script's submenu changes, it is then possible to also customize the text's color or the background color on the site/pages marked and not just to change the default colors for all marked sites in general. It is also then possible, of course, to remove that site from the list of marked sites. Go to the page "about:config" and search for "markedsites" to see what site names and colors have been saved. To invoke without the use of hotkeys go to the GreaseMonkey icon on the status bar and press the right mouse button to display the menu, move up to "User script commands..." and see the submenu that pops-up, this submenu (or a part of it) is the script's own submenu. To mark a site choose the submenu option: "Mark site or pages within site for extra visibility..." or use the hotkey. Do again to toggle and remove that site from the list of hard-to-see sites. If the script from this site called, "display page-modified date" is also installed, a right click on that script's page modified icon, at top right, has the same effect as alt-m (ie, it makes the site visible temporarily). To skip to a high level of visibility immediately without having to step through each level via (alt-m) then also keep the shift key pressed, alt-shift-m or alt-M. If a site's colors have been changed temporarily via alt-m (m is default hotkey), to make the current temporary level of visibility permanent for this site, choose the GM icon menu option: "User Script Commands"->"Make temporary site setting..permanent." To remove site select menu option a second time (toggle), toggle works only if temporary level has not in the meantime been increased via alt-m.
Enable Script Messages
Enable the script to write messages to status bar by setting dom.disable_window_status_change=false in about:config, that way the script can inform you about what it is doing.
