General Software Discussion / Re: Top Greasemonkey userscripts that you use

« on: November 23, 2009, 10:19 PM »

My favorites:

GoogleMonkeyR - I used to have several scripts that improved the Google search interface, but this script pretty much covers all their functions - multi-columns, favicons, website screenshots, and more. It makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for.

Inline MP3 Player - I don't know how useful this is for everyone, but my college posts recordings of lectures online and this script lets me play them directly on the page, rather than having to download them, which is pretty handy. Useful whenever there's a link to an mp3 file on a website that you don't want to download and open in another program.

YouTube Auto Pause - Again, I'm not sure if this script is for everyone, but I think it's a great idea. It basically pauses YouTube videos whenever you focus another tab or window. I just love Greasemonkey scripts that are simple and functional enough that you wonder why the sites didn't have those functions in the first place.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: rename system tray items

« on: November 23, 2009, 09:41 PM »

I don't know if this is possible, but I was wondering if system tray icons could be renamed. Some don't have a title, or have a title that changes, so when their behavior is changed (between 'always show', 'always hide', and 'hide when inactive'), they revert back to the default of 'hide when inactive' after a system restart/startup. This problem should be solved by renaming these problematic icons. (See [link] for an example of an icon without a title.) Again, I don't know if it's possible, but I just find the way system tray icons behave to be a bit of an annoyance. Thanks!
