Flickr: Style your contacts 0.5

When you see comments in a group discussions or photos in its pool, it’s sometime interesting to see the one your contacts have posted.

6 June 2006, by Mortimer

This greasemonkey script adds a css style to the photos posted by your contacts and you. It also styles comments in group discussions, under photos and in the follow up pages [1].

Your contacts, your friends and your family will have a different style, the script will also give a unique style to your photos and comments and the current author [2] comments. This styling helps you to quickly identify which photos your contacts have posted or the messages they have left.

You can install the script from here:

Get Firefox
Install GreaseMonkey
restart Firefox
If you liked the script, think about helping me back and consider a small donation, click the paypal button on the right.
Click on the following icon and select "Install"

663 download(s) since 25 July 2007

You have to configure it so it knows who you are, this is done by setting the YOUR_NAME value in the script file: var YOUR_NAME = 'mortimer?';

You can also personalise the styling by editing the css style at the beginning of the script file.

Donation don't have to be big to make a difference. I already received donations ranging from 0.50£ to 10£ and all of them made me happy. Think of it, if the thousand users of these tools made a small donation, it would not make a big difference to them, but it would to me.

You will probably enjoy using what you download from this website and if so, you can decide to make a donation. Making a donation is optional but will help to develop new tools and support the existing code.

All the software, scripts and other tools distributed on this web site are distributed under open source licenses and are available to download for free. Making the code free and available to all doesn't means it's of lower quality. The tools provided here are fully functional and their author invested some of his personal time to develop them and provide support to their users.

Think about it.

  I works fine for me. The ? is part of my username, so you should remove it too.

    Just found your script and I love it. But, it does not include all my contacts for some reason. I have about 1500 contacts - if that matters. The best example of the problem is when I view my contact list and only about 60% of them are marked correctly and the rest are not. I am sure there is a reason for this that I don’t know about. Perhaps the flickr API won’t let you grab all my contacts or something. I have tried reseting the contact list numerous times without any better luck. Any ideas?

I love this script..My firefox had problems after I installed a lot of scripts so I reinstalled firrefox and greasemonkey. I want to reinstall my scripts but it says it is already installed and won’t let me..it doesn’t show up as being installed under -greasemonkey- tools- manage userscripts.. it is not there how do I get it back where I can use them?

thanx anne amimaija@cableone.net

  First, Locate your profile folder, there should be a gm_script directory in there, try moving it away and reinstall the scripts you have in.

    Hmm. Well it is working kind of. I can’t get it to work in group pools though. I can get it to work in the group pools when I turn off flickr shades (one of your other scripts) but not when it is on. Is that by design? I even tried changing the color of the dashes to blue from black and still no dice. Help?
