Better Brizzly Social Icons

Script Summary: Replaces Brizzly's new Twitter and Facebook tab icons with prettier ones. Also fixes the tab's font for those without Helvetica Neue.

Version: 1.1

Script homepage

My favorite web-based Twitter client Brizzly recently debuted a slightly modified header that includes tabs for Facebook and Twitter.

This script attempts to fix two oddities in their current treatment:

  • The icons are being sized down to 18 pixels high from a larger size, resulting in some degradation in quality in most browsers.
  • A CSS bugs makes these tabs' text render in an unfortunate serif for anyone without the Helvetica Neue font installed.

Since I'm the guy who designed the new 16-pixel Brizzly icon, I figured my Ice Cream Social Icon Pack would make for a suitable replacement.

Tested working in Firefox 3.6, Chrome 5 and Opera 10.5 on a Windows 7 PC.

1.1 Update: Fixed to work with the Picnic update, though no Picnic icon has been created... yet!
