BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

Screen…

… so

………bright!

Aaaaaggghhhhhhh!!!

Okay, confirmed. BLF’s stylesheet didn’t change… it’s just that Chrome-based browsers started disabling Stylish because it was bought and became spyware.

So, to get things working, uninstall Stylish, install Stylus instead, and do everything else the same as before.

Thanks TK, screen looks SO much better! :smiley:

:+1:

Sorry my CTE is acting up :weary: but I am unable to get this to work. I have Stylus installed and enabled. I am still using FF56 cause anything later breaks 90% of my addons. I had Stylish working before FF disabled it … I tried to read the whole thread but it only confused me. Can you point me to a post that specifically explains what I need to do or maybe provide a CSS file that I can import? Thx TK

FYI, I use FF56 as well.

If you already have Stylus installed and enabled, then go here:

And then click “Install Style”.

IIRC, that’s all there is to it.

At this point you can further tweak it to your liking. For example, I made some of the colors slightly brighter as I was having a hard time seeing certain text.

Thanks Pete…. I was playing around with it before I read your post and I got it to work although I am not sure if it is safe.
I re-enabled Stylish and exported the BLF info, then imported that into Stylus and disabled Stylish again …. I checked and it is working like it used to BUT is that okay or is some of that code vulnerable?

Edit: After doing the above and reading your post I went to the http://budgetlightforum.com/comment/1358466/edit link you provided and clicked the link ‘Install style as userscript’ ………. would that have overwritten the other script? Sorry for the confusion…. CTE makes my brain disfunctional! :weary: :weary: :weary:

Thanks for the help

Being awake makes my brain dysfunctional… :confounded:

I have PC using chrome….I went to here and clicked install (that was it). Works and is much nicer.

right mkdive, get used to it and then lose it and you’ll find the normal screen kills ya! lol

Here is the page with extension links for installing Stylus for Chrome, Firefox, and Something Else (icons, upper right)

When I go to get the “after dark” script, for some reason all I get at

https://userstyles.org/styles/124240/blf-after-dark

is a spinning beachball “wait” cursor, right now.

TK, is userstyles.org having collywobbles lately? I can’t get in, haven’t gotten a password reset, and get a beachball cursor trying to search for “BLF”

There’s recent interest in this from people who saw me mention using it to eschew tedious signatures, and I’m just as confused as the next user about how to revive my old Stylish script. I did see mention of how to convert, I”ve got to go read that.

I did get Stylus extension to install in my Firefox (Mac, 10.12.6)

Ive installed Stylus on Firefox Mac (thanks hank!) and have used code from ToyKeeper (thanks!) to hide all signatures on BLF

the app is here

the code is this:
.forum-post-content > div.clear { display: none; }
.
.
.
and figured out how to Completely Hide posts by any member, with the following code:

/* Someone */
div.posted-by-54321,
div.posted-by-54321,
div.posted-by-54321,
div.posted-by-54321 { display: none !important; }

to get the user ID you want to block, hover over their handle and read their number
then replace the 54321 placeholder

I’m not really sure what’s up with userstyles.org lately. I checked it just now though, and it appears to be working normally. I did a search for “blf” and it returned several results including both of mine.

About hiding posts, it only needs one line per user. There’s no need to repeat the same UID more than once and if it’s only one person then only the last line is needed. The lines before that, ending in a comma, are optional in case people want to hide more than one person.

Or, instead of hiding people, it can be used to style posts on a per-person basis. For example, sb’s posts are usually important so I have those styled with a green banner and a bigger brighter font to make sure I’ll notice.

thanks for all the coaching

much appreciate the details including about the commas,

Next things I would like to learn

How to Hide, or enhance the text of,

1. A Thread, by its specific Title?

2. A Thread, started by a specific User?

.

I tried to google, but it was not, yet, enlightening

tutorial links, and handholding most appreciated

I haven’t looked into styling thread titles in the list, but it likely would need selectors based on text content instead of class or ID or anything like that… so it may require really recent CSS features or javascript.

Stylus tangent, non blf

wanted to do hide the Animated Banner at the top of Netflix
this works for me:

.jawBoneContainer
{
display:none !important;
}

It’s typically a lot easier to do this with an ad blocker plugin. Some have the ability to right-click on the thing you want to remove, select “hide this”, and then drag a slider to select exactly how much to remove. Same effect, but it only takes a few seconds.

thanks
I used adblocker to determine the .JawboneContainer label to use in Stylus, to hide the opening banner on Netflix…

have not learned how to use adblocker to block that particular animaterd banner element on Netflix

I do have all the banner ads on a couple websites blocked, thanks to adblock right clicks… but for some reason, it was not that easy with netflix, so I had to use Stylus

I dont have a good understanding of the apps…
and
the netflix style I posted has an unintended consequence,

I lost the ability to see individual previews that I actually want to see…

thanks for the intro to stylus
ive not even scratched the surface, but so far so good

It looks like an external dependency broke today, so I did a quick minor theme update on userstyles.org.
