You will need to be using Firefox, install the Greasemonkey addon, and the scripts that I link below. Just click the name of the feature you would like to try, you will go to the userscripts.org page, on the right click the black button that says "Install this script", a box will popup and after 3 seconds you can click install, then run Firefox back to facebook.com to see the changes! Manage all your scripts using the monkey icon that is on the bottom right of Firefox.
My first blog post! These are some of the best appearance & functionally changes for the popular social networking site facebook, with images included. This is all free, and can really give you some great options not presented officially (for legal & lame reasons).
Warning: The scripts could break with facebook updates, but the scripts themselves can also update with your permission! The scripts may add additional load time, do not expect everything to be instant.
Facebook Auto-Colorizer
Make every page unique!
Hours upon hours of surfing facebook can quickly be filled with diverse, uniquely colored pages. This script takes the profile picture of whatever user or page you are viewing, and creates a new color scheme, facebook logo and all. The colors schemes (usually) are very pleasing to look at, and they do not randomly generate, more or less they are based from existing patterns.
thickFaceBook
View photos in a different light!This changes how you flip through photos, opting for a three box view so you can see past & present photos in sets. The script rips the photos out of the page, to make them be your center of attention, and you can still read photo captions. No worries if you want to see the old view, you have to go back to it to comment on photos, this is merely a way to look at vast amounts easier. Note: depending on your screen resolution & the dimensions of the photos, they may appear cut off, or have caption not readable due to a lack of screen real state.
No ads
Obvious!Say good bye to those pesky ads on the left bar!
iLike Downloader
iLiked to download those free tracks with one click!iLike is quickly becoming the go-to music application on facebook. Songs that offer free tracks through iLike do not by default provide you a link to grab those MP3s, until now! Sadly this does not work with all tracks, but free music is free music.
View Some Photos
Stalking others with photo privacy never became easier!So a user wants to keep all the photos of them at parties chugging keystone on the lock down, bummer. This puts a link below their profile pic that allows you to view "some photos". You don't get all of them--but usually you get something.
View Photo in Album
Get a link from a single photo to the rest of the album!While viewing photos this creates a link that allows you to go to the album (if you have permission) that the picture resides.
Date Fixer
day month year"Changes dates on facebook from middle endian form (month day, year) to little endian form (day month year)."
Add a Search Button
"Adds a button to the search box in the left column."
Remove chat/notification bottom right boxes
Not a fan of facebook chat or notifications being forced in your face?
Use the Old Facebook Favicon
I prefer the guys face!Replaces the new "F" icon with the older picture of the divine creator of facebook.
Use HTTPS
I want security!This changes your links on facebook to all use "https://facebook...". Some say this can be used to bypass proxies, it seems like it does not work always, but why not give it a shot?
Add a Moustaches
Everyone looks cooler with a stache!This is pure silliness, but fun, I guess? This adds four moustaches to defile any profile pic or just to drag around. You can resize them, but sadly the positions do not get saved, bummer right.
Block All Applications
No I don't want to join--anything!!!WARNING - This does not work consistantly. When it does, it will provide a one-click leave me the fuck alone button for all those apps.
Slayers/Werewolves/Vamps
If you use these applications, this might interest you!I do not use them, so you will just have to try them out on your own.
