GameFAQs Stylesheet X2
GameFAQs Stylesheet is an addon to Mozilla-based browsers (and others that sufficiently support stylesheets) that changes the look and feel of [GameFAQs][] and its message boards. It works on every GameFAQs page that uses the newest look (as of the 1st of January, 2007) and... sort of works on other pages.
Latest Version
1.0 Beta is the latest version.
Known Bugs
Old-style pages (GameFAQs 9 style pages that have not been upgraded) are not treated well at all.
There are occassional very small visual oddities (margins and padding). I probably won't put in the time to fix these.
How to Use
Mozilla Firefox
Note: Please use Firefox 1.5 or greater. Firefox 2.0 preferred.
Installing GameFAQs Stylesheet on Firefox involves editing the userContent.css file. Depending on your operating system, you can find this file in various locations:
- Windows Vista:
\Users\[you]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random].default\chrome\- Various Linux distrobutions:
~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/[random].default/chrome/- Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4:
\Documents and Settings\[you]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random].default\chrome\
Some of those folders are typically hidden. You may have to enter them in manually or enable showing of hidden files and folders in your file explorer.
Typically, in this folder you will see a few files. userChrome-example.css, userContent-example.css, etc. We are looking for userContent.css. If this file does not exist, you can create it and Firefox will pick it up. Once you have this file open, you can paste the contents of gfcss_x2_#.#.css into it. After that, restart Firefox and you're done.
Customisation
If you have a knowledge of CSS, I have made it easy to modify this stylesheet's colours. At the very bottom of the stylesheet are the colours that are used for the various bars and boxes. Also I put the body element at the bottom as well if you need to change the font size or the background colour or even the default font of the page.
Help
If you're having problems installing, feel free to post on Aqua Boards 5 on any board for assistance. You can also find me on GameFAQs at Web Design and Programming.
