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

Edit script source (RClick on yellow monkey in status line - manage scripts - choose this script - edit - first time choose editor) - this is one you need 
var bg_color = "#ffffe0"; // this is LightYellow background
var border_color = "#ffd700"; 
var font_color = "#4682b4";
var font_face = "verdana";
var font_size = "10px";
change values as you want - you can write just "black" or "white" or number (see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for color names and values)

Sorry, now I look into my source code - and find it is too far from ideal, sometimes I wrote values direct inline into function, so to change fonts size and color for title and url find and change this
(!!!! This page show code incorect, so in next code lines there are font definitions, like font-size: 13px; color: #8b0000;, but you can't see it here :) ) 
if (ttTitle) {ttTitle='<font>' + ttTitle+'</font>
';} 
		 else {ttTitle='';}

for title, and

tt_div.innerHTML = ttTitle+favIco + 
		'<font>' + ttUrlHost+'</font>' + urlPage+tt_err;

for link host (I made it larger than link to page)
-- experiment with font sizes and make you preferences
