You're right. I modified the script but forgot to change the screenshot. I use your screenshot now. Thanks.

However, this will make the icon attached to the right, so you have to replace it with a new image (with 2 blank pixels on the right)

link.style.backgroundPosition = 'right center';

and change the right padding to 16 pixels instead of 14

link.style.paddingRight = '16px';

This script definitely does make the userscript links stand out, making them easier and quicker to locate on a site (Thumbs up :)).
However the script will NOT make the links look like they to in the screenshot. The script makes them look like this: http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/4116/uscript...

I experimented a bit, and found out this is how to do if you wanna have it look like in the author screenshot:
1. Delete the following part of the code (its in the bottom): 

link.style.backgroundColor = 'buttonFace';
      link.style.backgroundPosition = '2px center';
      link.style.backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat';
      link.style.color = 'buttonText';
      link.style.textDecoration = 'none';
      link.style.paddingLeft = '14px';
      link.style.paddingRight = '.5em';
      link.style.border = '1px solid #aaa';   
      link.style.MozBorderRadius = '1em';

2. Replace it with this code: 
link.style.backgroundPosition = '2px center';
      link.style.backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat';
      
      
      link.style.paddingLeft = '14px';
      link.style.paddingRight = '.5em';
        
      link.style.MozBorderRadius = '1em';

... But actually I like the thing about adding some background color to it, making it stand more out. I modded the original code a bit, and come up with this (my favorite look/preferences ): 

link.style.backgroundColor = '#CCC';
      link.style.backgroundPosition = '2px center';
      link.style.backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat';
      
      
      link.style.paddingLeft = '14px';
      link.style.paddingRight = '.5em';
      link.style.border = '1px solid #aaa';   
      link.style.MozBorderRadius = '1em';

I would like though to see how it would look with the monkey icon to the right, but couldn't figure out how to move it there (I'm not a pro at all unfortunately :(). Can you tell me how to do that :)?

P.S. its superb that an edit function has been added to userscripts.org :)!

For a more generic script to add any icon you like to links to anything you like (specific extensions, host names, blog posts or whatnot) I warmly recommend Mark My Links, http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3382

I agree with Josh, the monkey does look a little weird...

Updated beyond the screenshot, but I like the new version even better.

Thanks again LouCypher!!!

Works good. Nice way to do a quick search to find the greasemonkey scripts on a page with a lot of links :P The monkey looks a little odd though ;)
