Is the awesome bar a little bland for you? Firefox 3’s address bar seems to be something people either really love or love to hate. Now due to a little creativity and the Stylish extension you can color it up a little ‘bit to help usability.
This changes up how you use the awesome bar. Your tags will be light yellow, you bookmarks will be blue, and your history items will be light green.
Colorful, isn’t it? If you like this you may also want to check out more work by the creator, -=Ben=-.
If you would like to include this tweak to your own Firefox 3 awesome bar, all you need to do is pick up the Stylish extension for Firefox and then install this script: Awesome Bar Background Color Based on Type (WOW) *.

Who doesn’t like Facebook? I’ve got a profile there and I am sure you do too. While looking for ways to make my facebooking just a little ‘bit better I ran into these user styles created to work with the Stylish Firefox extension.
De-MySpacify - Tired of all the user applications on Facebook? Say goodbye to them with this user style. The name of this tweak does speak volumes to some.
Facebook Green - Yes, everything you can expect is delivered here. All the same Facebook goodness except everything has a green tint to it. Great for St Patrick’s Day.
Mini Facebook - This makes the font on the iPhone version of Facebook smaller so that it will work well in an iframe widget on iGoogle.
deviantART Skin for Facebook - deviantART has a pretty slick style - and now you can bring that same style to your Facebook page.
Facebook Always Expand Applications - Get rid of the toggle feature on the applications sidebar, allowing all apps to be visible at all times.
Now you should have no problems with saying you have the most stylish looking Facebook page around.

Anybody else run into this issue yet? Seems like with the last round of Google Reader updates they broke the widescreen view in Firefox.
After searching the Web for a solution or for others in the same boat at me - I couldn’t find much help. So what is a guy to do? Well I happen to be an avid fan of the Stylish extension so I thought I would write up a little fix using it to solve the problem.
+ Get Fix Google Widescreen View at UserStyles.org
Pick up my user style and see if it does the job for you. The only drawback is that this will get rid of the new toggle button for getting rid of the Google sidebar menu. Personally I have always just used the “U” key to get this job done. Hope this helps others out there being bugged by the same pesky issue.

I enjoy using the Stylish extension to make a lot of little edits to various web sites I visit around the web. The biggest would probably be Gmail - and I would rather not lose all the user style edits I have done just in case the worst might happen.
The other day I was re-installing Firefox on my main machine here, and I needed to backup the edits and user styles I had downloaded and created. I searched and searched, and finally found the place which it is saved to. It is not an easy file to find so I thought I would share with you where it is at.
On Windows XP go to Documents and Settings, then go to your profile folder. From there navigate yourself through Application Data, then Mozilla, then Firefox (yes, it is pretty deep in there) and then your profile folder for Firefox.
You made it! Do the dance of joy and move on…
The file your looking to copy is stylish.rdf. Of course you could always just search your computer for the same file name - but what fun would that be?
Just right-click on it, copy it and save it elsewhere. Then when you need to restore the settings, drag and drop it back where you found it and all should be well again.

Yeah how would you like to be able to whip that out at your local mall? You’d have them gazing in awe of the awesomeness that if Firefox. Either that or they’d just say, “what’s that, your dog?”. Either way - you make a good impression.
The same kind of impression all these links left of me.
Have a suggestion or link to toss my way? Drop in a comment or E-mail it to me.

Yes, I am still having fun playing with the Stylish extension for Firefox. There are a lot of neat hacks I guess you could call them to make some of your favorite Web sites and Online applications just look a little better. Here are a few of the more popular ones.
Darkoogle - Gives you that “hey, somebody just turned the lights out” feeling for the Google Web pages out there. Personally I like the white look a little more, but this is neat for trying something “a little different”.
Transparency Edits for iGoogle - Want to make a few elements on iGoogle a little more transparent? This user style makes your search at the top fade a little more into the background so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Google Reader Optimized - This one takes away all of the useless things from around Google Reader (mainly from the top) and gives you a cleaner and more straight forward interface to work with.
Gmail Air Skin - Want to give Gmail a more curved interface? This style makes a lot of your menu items and the Gmail interface a little more “round” I guess you could say.
Have any other popular ones you love but I missed?

Ever felt the need to get rid of Google’s boring white background? Well I have run across three really neat styles that somebody has created for Google via the Stylish Firefox extension. To use these, you will have to have Stylish installed.
