Hi -

I use a screen magnification program due to low vision. I have it set at 2x or 2.5x normal screen size.
So - for me to see the whole computer screen I need to pan via mouse.

For me to see a link target in the status bar (of a link at the top of a web page) - I need to turn my magnification to normal (1x), and then squint at the status bar. That was a long way of saying that the screen can't be showing the top of the web page where the link hovering takes place - and at the same time whow the bottom of the web page, where the status bar is.

So - this type of add on is extremely useful for me.
Can it be set up so I can get the script showing the link with a white foreground (vs. beige) and black letters (in bold) for better contrast? Maybe increase the size of the font?

I would be happy to email off-userscripts, however, I could not find a link with the script writer's email address. Maybe this was purposeful.

Thank you.

Oops - I posted this in the wrong script - this was to go to hover(v2).

I could use this script for the same purpose, if there was a way to move the hovering statusbar to show up where I hover over the link.

Thanks.
