There are a lot of feature-request's on Meta that seem useful. I've gone through some of them, and made one userscript to add some, or all of them:
Features added:
- Fixed Topbar
- Unfade low score answers
- Move
show more comments
link to top - Ellipsis after long names
- Rename chat tabs
- Move
start a bounty
to after the question (instead of after comments) - Make the bounty box draggable
- Fade out vote signs on deleted answers
- Replace > bullet points with more normal ones
- Differentiate between employees1
- Remove exclamation mark on error
In this script, I've made everything optional. You choose what you want - if you hate the fixed topbar (which it seems a lot of you do...), disable it!. The options are saved in a cookie2.
The script
It's on Github Gist over here.
Please post any feature requests (along with their meta link, if applicable) and bug reports (along with any errors in console, if applicable)!
I've only tested it on Google Chrome - please tell me if you find any compatibility issues.
