Re: Google Reader for the Tablet
 
This is great, are their any other good scripts for the N810?

If anyone wants to try it, I've added another script which makes the text in www.internettablettalk.com a bit larger (and also selects the classic skin). See http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20986

That itt script really helps. Not just font size, but also improves contrast and gets rid of some graphical distractions.

It leaves only one problem. On my N800, the graphic at the top of ITT pages takes up the whole screen. If you could make that disappear, life would really be better!

Can somebody rename this thread as 'useful greasemonkey scripts: why tablet users need them?'

Until I tested the ITT script, I saw no real benefit in greasemonkey.


Thanks again
PJ

Which image do you mean: there's the very top image with links to the wiki etc., or there's an advert. I left the top one alone as I didn't think it too intrusive, and I've got adblock installed so I don't see the other one --- plus I wasn't entirely sure how advertising a greasemonkey script to hide the adverts on this site would go down :)

If you don't have adblock and want to hide the advert then another style rule ".advert{ display:none;}" ought to do it. Not that I'd recommend that: I expect this site has to make money to continue to exist.

That top image doesn't have the links, they are separate. See attached links2 screenshot. Should be possible to eliminate the big fat N810 image, and the
internet tablet
_T__A__L__K_ , if desired, while leaving the icon-bar intact.

Edit: It's my first time installing grease-monkey, hence the post without trying to edit the script myself. I'll give that a shot tomorrow. The script is working great, though!

Further edit: the script forces the classic skin, so my observations were not directly applicable. Still, it can be edited to remove the (lesser) space-waste in that theme, while keeping the menu. It's a little ugly ATM, but I'm trying to put it together.

I mean the pic of the n800 on top. it takes more than 1/2 of screen, on every screen. I don't mind seeing it once. Your script does not change ITT home for me anyway. That's always black and dark. The script only helps the bottom of page--the item lists on sub-pages.

Did not know about adblock either. Iis it greasemonkey too?

i suppose i don't mind the ad. it is information. its tha big pic i hate. there's no info there.

Adblock is a separate browser extension: it is in the same browser-extras repository as greasemonkey.

The image at the top isn't taking half the screen on my system, more like a third: but there is definitely wasted space that I can strip out. I'll have a look at updating the script this evening to clean it up.

Well, here's what I came up with. Q&D, but it helps. I also spaced the icon-bar out over the width of the screen, so fumbles mean missing all the icons, instead of hitting the wrong one.

I wonder if there's a way to apply the style change before it loads the whole page? that way it wouldn't go load the header image, then promptly discard it.

Thanks.

Followup. I noticed a deb package adblock in the prog managr and installed it. When i see ITT home, it blocks the ad image. But, with your greasemonky installed, all othr ITT pages show the ad. its like the classic skin use brings ads back.

The package I installed is

ii adblock-plus-webaddon 0.0.2-1 adblock-plus Web Addon.

I've revised my script: I took out the padding round the page, and I also removed some <br> tags in the heading, so there shouldn't be any spurious whitespace. I've left the heading image in, but shifted it up so it only occupies 100 pixels instead of 148.

Benson: unfortunately Greasemonkey doesn't let your script run until the DOM has loaded. You might get in in time to stop some images loading (it triggers on ondomload rather than onload, so not everything is loaded) but it's unlikely.
