 Kyle,
Thanks for the recent updates that fixed dictionary & youtube!

I wanted to give you a heads up that I [gladly] link to your script as a partner to my own script google Enhanced BLACK. (It inverts the color scheme for eye strain and improves usability on Google services.)



Google Search Sidebar recommended and compatible with this script
(Shown in screen shot above along right side of web search preview)



Thanks for keeping up with your excellent script
Msg me if you'd be interested in adding a few functions to have auto script updates.
Best regards, Gabe D

I further-added support for Google Search Sidebar by adding what I call Adaptive Resolution Support.
With web search results, google Enhanced BLACK widens the results & tries to use as much horizontal space as possible while leaving space on the right for this Sidebar-script. This does require, however, that the sidebar be installed first (then the google-black script second ~ so my script can detect the inserted sidebar before making its enhancements.) It's a really nice feature, but now I need to figure out how I can detect another userscript, other than detecting their after-effects.

Kyle, can you think of any clever ways to tell if your script has been installed? Maybe some sort of GM_ command? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks again for all your hard work; I for one greatly appreciate it
