New LJ skins, including Visions v2!

[soph]

You may remember that some time ago, I made a skin to transform Vertigo into a Dystopia lookalike, while the scheme was in beta. Unfortunately, when the scheme finally got released, the skin was incompatible with it. I've made changes to the skin to update it to work with the released version, but I haven't made a post to advertise it until now;

I've tried adding Vertigo v.1, and it mostly seems to work, but the text before each link has the (unlinked) text "bbba0" in front of it.

Any idea why this might be happening? I have the latest version of Greasemonnkey.

I'm using content: "\00bb\00a0" !important; to add the right angled quotes, so I'm guessing that's where it comes from, though I'm not sure why it doesn't work in your journal. Hmmm. Which version of Firefox are you running, on which OS?

2.0.0.9, on XP

Hmmm, weird, I can't seem to reproduce the problem at all.

Are you loading it via Stylish, or directly as a GM script?

Directly as a GM script. I can post a screenshot or something?

[snakeling]

No, don't bother, I know what the problem is :) On UserStyles.org, there's a bug when userstyles are converted to Javascripts. Somehow backslashes aren't escaped.

You'll need to either load it into Stylish, or open the script in your favourite text editor and modify this part: content: \"\00bb\00a0\" to look like this: content: \"\\00bb\\00a0\".

Sorry for that :)

You're a genius, that fixed it. Thanks!

I'm not too savvy with scripts, but fixing this was pretty easy. For anyone else who has this problem, go into Greasemonkey > Manage User Scripts, select the script, click Edit on the bottom left. Open it in notepad, then do a find for content: \"\00bb\00a0\" and replace it with content: \"\\00bb\\00a0\"

Yay for it working :)

I've posted on the userstyles.org forum to report the bug. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

I am sorry, but question, you say open "it" what is it?!

When I click edit it goes to open a file on my computer, not the script. . .

[soph]

When you click Edit the first time, it'll prompt for a program to open it with. You want to open it in Notepad, so go to the "Windows" directory in the drive and select the Notepad program. It'll then open up the file in Notepad for you.

Next time, it remembers that you want to use Notepad so you don't need to do the Notepad selection again.

[sewcute]

ah ok, thanks!

The file it wants to open is your text editor - you want C:\windows\notepad.exe
(assuming windows is installed in c:\windows)

[sewcute]

well I broke GM. When I right click it doesn't show me the available script, then when I open it, and click edit nothing happens. I tried to restart the computer, and deleted the script, but nothing. . .

UI problme?

ok that makes it able for me to edit scripts, so thank you! but I couldn't find the part I was supposed to edit of the script

Except when I right click it says no scripts installed, the vertigo script doesn't even TRY to show up. But it is blocking the nav strip, and the message box one I have set up works too.
