Cleaner FriendFeed (New Beta) - 04/06/09 |... - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Changelog: -- removed the grey background -- removed the bar background and made it subtle -- some font size changes -- some spacing adjustments -- select text background changed - AJ Batac `("o_o)_ from Bookmarklet

* Cleaner and cool look and feel (FriendFeed is already clean, this makes it a lot cleaner) * Different font style * Highlights friends comments with baby yellow (instantly know that the user is already your friend) * Highlights your comments with baby blue (it’s cool to see your own comments from river of comments. Looks good when you are a distance away your computer, makes your comment a marker in conversations) * Highlights Likes to light pink * Dims comments from non-friends (normal color of FriendFeed comment) * Separated each posts with a bottom border - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

yay! - mjc

This userstyle brings the FriendFeed conversation to another level by instantly letting you know… 1) Your own comment (Powder Blue) 2) Your friends comments (Light Yellow) 3) Your non-friends comments (Normal FriendFeed Comment Color) 4) Likes (Light Pink) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

As FriendFeed becomes popular, you’ll definitely need some kind of instant and attention grabbing color that catches your eyes and tell you where you left off in a conversation. Hope you like it. - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Well THAT didn't take long. - tehKenny

MUCH better :-) - andy brudtkuhl

Congrats aj. - Alp

you legend. :) - Zee.

THANK YOU! - Rochelle

Installed and liking... wish the font was a tad bigger but I can adjust that :) - Bwana ☠

could you block the logo also? - mjc

installing - lovely- although there is something in having the "main area" diff. from the rest of the screen as in the original design - must play and see what works better for me - Naor Mark

That's much better, thanks AJ - Sally Church

Good work! - Rich

mjc, it won't look good. but you can use this (#logo img { display:none !important; }) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

That looks much better! Maybe the FF devs can adopt that scheme. - Lindsay

really clean and cool. - Jansen Lu

That was fast man! - JazJaz

wow thanks aj - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

that looks much better - RAPatton

thank U - Andrea | amnesiak1978

Damn, AJ...fast work! Awesome as usual! :) - JA Castillo

great - hate the grey! - Gaby K. Slezák

thank U - Andrea | amnesiak1978

wow that was fast... I don't mind the gray, but this is a nice option for those complainers who don't - Nathan Chase

Switched already and I'm lovin' this script - much nicer! - Sally Church

I cleaned it up further. If you've downloaded it already, edit and change this line (.bar {border:none !important; background:none !important;background-color:#C8DCF5 !important;}) ;) much better without those borders on bars ;) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

(too lazy for looking up the line - re-installed :) - Naor Mark

Same as Naor, but yeah it is nicer :-) - Sally Church

this is fantastic - loving life with a #112 body :) - Christopher Galtenberg

Wow AJ, nice job. I hope FF takes notice. - Andrew Smith

AJ that was fast! - Susan Beebe

Much better AJ! - AJ Kohn

Wow. Nice. Thank you! - Ken Sheppardson

I can't tell... are you mimicking the effect of the little yellow halo around the comment bubble when it's inserted into a page you're viewing? Ah... there it is... the halo's still there. Might be nice to have the entire comment's color fade. Skill Level 2.0 ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Thanks AJ! - Shey

I love the comment HIGHLIGHT COLORS - blue = mine :) Friends = yellow = cool!!! thanks - Susan Beebe

@Susan Wasn't that apart of the beta already? - Shey

@Shey, nope. - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Wow, this style is gorgeous! Blows the default beta away. Still no fan of fixed-width but if devs go with this style and the new functionality, it's enough win for me. - ·[▪_▪]·

@robot, here's one for you -> Widescreen version (http://beta.friendfeed.com/ajbatac...) or fluid/liquid - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Widescreen...for...the....WIN - Bwana ☠

I do wish links were in a different colour or <strong> - Shey

How cool is this! - Charlie Anzman

WOW tnx I love it - Dobromir Hadzhiev

this is great. thanks! - Peter van Teeseling

Made it use Segoe UI pt 11, and looks much better :D - Yuvi

This is much more visually appealing. You rock! - Justin Whitaker

I really like this. Thank you, good sir. - Brandon Ball

OMG AJ, this is SO MUCH better! Thank you! - Phil Glockner

Someone make this a sticky. :) - JazJaz

That's way better! Thanks a bunch :) - Maryam Ardakani

Awesome AJ! But what took you so long? - Edward Zwart

♥♥♥♥♥ Thanks!! - Gypsy

I switched to Firefox just to use your layout - it helps. - LPH™ and his dog P™

free to modify, free to whatever you want to do with it. ;) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

hey dude you got mentioned in the read write web http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

@alfredo, Thanks. - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is wonderful in FireFox - Anthony K. Valley ©

Thank you, AJ, you rock! - Michelle M

Awesome!! I'm using it right now. - Mark Layton

Gosh, that's better, thanks for the Beta FF version - I've been used CleanerFF since using FF. - Kol Tregaskes

This is VERY nice. Well done! - Tony

@wiredryo You really like colors? I find them distracting and cheap-looking. Just my style though, maybe. I like minimalism. - ·[▪_▪]·

WOO-HOO! Now THAT is more like it! - Steven Perez

That's wonderful. Thank you! - joey

Even cleaner without avatars in the feed: http://userstyles.org/styles... - Meryn Stol

Really enjoying the Cleaner FF. By the popularity of this thread, I'm assuming many are not really happy with the gray background and colored sidebar boxes. - Ricardo Vidal

I personally have not much trouble with the new color scheme. Try removing the avatars, they are really noisy. Just try to experience the difference. - Meryn Stol

colored and + fontsized the post titles, as i prefer to catch the posts rather then the comments, it really works. - Yunus Tunak

Haven't gotten the new look >.< - Patrick from twhirl

http://beta.friendfeed.com/ for new look - Yunus Tunak

Feels so much better. - Valley

I changed the background for #f8f8fc because it doesn't look as good when it's just as white as the main column. Having it an off-white like that is a lot nicer. Just a suggestion. - Chris Charabaruk

Also, I turned off highlighting of friend comments (although not my own) because you all chat too much. :) - Chris Charabaruk

this is awesome. thanks so much! - Karoli

great! i disliked beta's grey background. :-) - browneyes

Much better! I don't mind the constant flow, but wasn't a fan of the new design. - Vince DeGeorge

Done. and loving it. Thanks AJ! - Dave

AJ, you da man! I like it very much. :) - imabonehead

I tweaked it so all it really did was get rid of the gray background, but left the font sizes and colors alone. Now it looks REALLY good to me. Will screenshot it now. Thanks, AJ! - Josh Haley

Using this now... soooo much better! :D - Brandon

love it! seems better! - Business Blogger 【ツ】™

very nice, thanks :D - PaperDoll

wow, just installed this, way better! - Marcos Marado

I agree! I think I like this much better. The Gray background was getting to me. - Kreg Steppe

Still prefer the post options from the 'old' freindfeed interface - they were out front & more available for on-the-fly, intuitive changing - awd

@Aaron, I like the new one better. ;) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_

Great job, AJ. Soooo much better. I hope that FF notices that we like their original clean design better and incorporate it into beta again so that I don't need a script for this. - Carmen

Updated: For widescreen monitors (http://userstyles.org/styles...) / Normal width (http://userstyles.org/styles...) - AJ Batac `("o_o)_
