Guys,
Here is a quick browser tip for firefox. About a year ago I stumbled across 'NightShift - Eyecare' that did a fantastic job at basically inverting the way firefox rendered pages darkening the display and providing immediate relief to tired eyes:
NightShift - Eyecare (good title) http://userstyles.org/styles/18192
It's not for all pages, but when you need to read a page or two of text and you don't want to stare into a bright display, it is worth its weight in gold.
Last night, I had to rebuild my firefox install (moving ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-sav and starting new). Looking for nightshift again (not remembering what it was called and searing 'night' on userstyles.org, I stumbled across 'Midnight Surfing' and gave it a try. Wow, it worked better in some circumstances. That was cool, so I thought I would pass it along to the list:
Midnight Surfing http://userstyles.org/styles/23516
It can be a great tool to stick in your toolbox for the right circumstance and since stylish integrates nicely with FF providing the little status bar on/off dialog for the styles, you can flip it on/off with no effort at all.
Install stylish before going to userstyles.org and you can then just load the styles into firefox. Get stylish at the mozilla addons site:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/2108/addon-2108-la...
Enjoy!
Wow, nice stuff. I was already thinking about using some custom css for all pages at night, but this seems to work better.
However, I'm known as bug creator, and so I found a rather severe one immediately. It doesn't work with local html files at all.
Thanks,
Indeed nice stuff, but... Stylish is supposed to work with Chrome, and I tried it with Chromium 5.0.375.99 - an error message "unable to open a transaction to the database" keeps popping up... Cheers, Sergey
