Note: Swan’s version at Swan Song’s Classic Fimfiction Style Emporium is closer to the original, and you may prefer that. I’m keeping mine up as an alternative, though.

Just thought I’d share what I’ve got so far as a stylish style of the main fimfiction navigation bar. I don’t quite have it up anywhere at the moment, though I’ll probably post it and add a link once I’m sure I’ve got it where I like it.

You can find it at: Classic Fimfic Navbar.

The code is currently as follows, though, and is for Stylish:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
.user_toolbar .button,
.user_toolbar > ul > li > a,
.big_button {
    text-transform: none!important;
    border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.user_toolbar {
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #7f8e54 0%, #73804c 100%);
    box-shadow: none;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #616c40;
}
.user_toolbar>ul>li {
    color: #f4f6ef;
    text-shadow: none;
}
.user_toolbar>ul>li:before,
.user_toolbar>ul>li:after {
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #bcc69f 0%, #b1bc8f 100%);
}
.user_toolbar>ul>li:hover {
    color: #bcc69f;
    background: #485030;
    text-shadow: none;
}

I still need to figure out where to change the color when you hover over the buttons. Still, it’s classic green color with mixed case wording, which is nice.

You use the hover...event? Like this:

.user_toolbar>ul>li:hover {
color: green;
background:lightgreen;
text-shadow: none;
}

I would use the code tag, but it ignores all my line breaks.

Ah, that would make sense. Just added something similar, and updated my code. Think I’ve about got it where I want it now.

Definitely feels a fair amount more familiar now.

just tried to use this with tampermonkey and it doesn’t work. Is this for Git?

It’s for stylish, actually, or the equivalent on firefox. I just updated it to have a link to a page it can be installed from, though, and added that information.

Guess that’s another extension in my ever growing list, sigh... But thanks, it works like a charm!

No problem.

And basically, I went for stylish because it was both easier then a tampermonkey script to write and didn’t need the extra power of javascript. Stylish is more limited, because it only modifies css, but more limited can be good.

There’s an old post about Stylish here.

Stylish exists on Firefox too. I’m using the style right now, and I quite like it. Feels much more familiar.
