facebook colour changer

Gives the option of changing the facebook colour scheme to anything you want using a colour selector and also setting a new logo in the top left!

This script is simple and easy to use. To change the colours in facebook, when viewing any page on facebook simply go to 'Tools', 'Greasemonkey', 'Userscript Commands...' and then 'Customise facebook colours...' (alternatively via the same menu when right-clicking on the monkey on the bottom right). Simply select the colours you'd like facebook to be, and you're done!

Changing the facebook icon in the top left is simple too. Simply enter the URL of an image on the menu box. Leaving the boxes blank gives the facebook default, and leaving the hover image blank defaults to the normal image. The initial default colours are set to facebook's default.

Any problems or suggestions are welcome in the comments.

NB. you need to be using the Firefox web browser with the Greasemonkey extension installed to use this script.

Updates

For users of this script who want to be kept up-to-date with updates to it, I recommend using the Script Updater script. I've not added an auto-checker on this script by default because I believe users shouldn't be bugged to update scripts, but I personally use this one above.

Screenshot

Below is a screenshot of where I have picked a pink and black theme, but you can pick any colours you wish. Also, the logo in the top left has been changed to a different image (found here), but you can use any image on the internet (larger images won't scale down though).

@leagult: The font colour's set to be the dark colour, so I assume that you've set that to be black. This would mean that everything will be black for you, so simply change that colour to change the colour of the fonts. Also, I've changed the 'what are you doing now?' so that it's now the dark colour and not the light one.

How can we change the color of the font? Because everything is black for me..
oh yeah, might be something you can do here: the Light color also affects the "what are you doing now?" status thing.

@illlicifulic: No, it's not possible using userscripts for anyone to see changes you make to a page you're viewing except for you.

Just a curious question.. Will everyone else see my profile as color as well?

Perhaps I should clarify; the option to customise the facebook colours will only be under the "User Script Commands..." menu when you are on a page in facebook. At all other times this option will not be on that menu.

@Maura-Ann: Sorry, but there isn't any way that this would be possible. Glad that you like my script though!

This is awesome!
I love it, but I was wondering if there is any way that the changes we make to our facebook could be shown to others when they visit our profile?

Toss in a background color changer, and this would be perfect. :)

@Kieran: This is very much possible, and I'll have a think today about how best to implement this and see if I can put anything out in the next few days. If I can't find any way of doing this that doesn't look messy though, I might not implement this change. Please note though that every colour is defined by a unique hexadecimal number and it is possible to manually type these in if you want.

An option to save colour schemes would be good. Two colours may go well but the user might fancy a change... By saving the original scheme it can be easily reverted back to.
Is this possible?
