Youtube Layout Fix
 

If anybody else is annoyed by YouTube's terrible new layout, I made a quick Greasemonkey/User Script fix for it.

Mainly, what this does is:

- Centre alines the pages, so you don't have to ridiculously strain your neck to look left all the time.

- Applies some grey colouring to the background and sidebar, so that all of the whiteness doesn't burn your eyes and so that the actual content is focused.

- Works on the new homepage and the new watch page.

Nice.

Got a script to bring back the "Other Videos" tool? I used that nearly every time I went on youtube. it allowed me to watch video in chronological order without dealing with crappy autoplays or having to change the page I'm on.

I don't really know what you mean by the "Other Videos" tool :confused:, sorry.

Whoa. Don't remember putting that pointless line break in there.

Oh well.

The other videos tool was this dropdown list of videos that the user who posted the video you were watching had posted. You could click the dropdown, then scroll ahead about 30 videos, all without leaving the page you were on. I used it to follow series a lot, since some channels don't group their submissions properly, so seeing a concise list of their submissions in chronological order was useful.

For two reasons: this is my first userscript, what you described sounds too advanced for me, and I've never used the "other videos" feature, so I wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing.

I've updatd it again so that it now works properly on Chrome and not just Firefox.

I don't think I'll be updating this again, so last post here. I've converted it into a Chrome and Opera extension, I've tried Firefox, but its much harder.

The user script has had almost 250 installs since it it first went up on Saturday, the Opera extension has had over 190 since Monday and the Chrome extension is just up (and cost me $5), so please give support and install / spread the news.
