UserScript for Improved Legibility

Pages on Humaniplex are WIDE. They span the whole width of the browser window, and for those of you with wide screens, it can make things hard to read. Your eyes are forced to continually scan side to side to take in the content. This problem is made worse if a wide image forces the content to become wider than the browser window which makes you have to scroll horizontally to see all of the content. For example, take a look at The Most Popular Incoming Prez Ever. There are a few wide images there that really messed the layout up and forced the page to be too wide for comfort.

This UserScript fixes this, by introducing a little bit of CSS to constrain the width of the content and make HX skinnier.


body {
width: 75%;
margin: auto;
max-width: 1020px;
min-width: 20rem;
}
table.outline div.float_left img {
max-width: 100%;
}


This is all we're adding to the page, but it makes a big difference especially if you have a wide screen. Those of you who browse Humaniplex with a narrow window won't need this, though. It's not for everybody, but I think it'll help a lot of people.

If you have the Violentmonkey extension installed, you can:
1. Click on hx-style.humaniplex.user.js;
2. Click on "Raw"; and
3. Confirm the installation (on the top-right), and you should be good to go.

Just read the code. It's really short, and you don't even have to be a programmer to get what it's doing. It's just adding a lines of CSS to the page.

LACG isn’t the only one.

And no. Once a post is posted, it can’t be changed. It can be removed through moderation or profile deletion.

It's good to be a little paranoid in these weird times. The hope with open source software was that you could look at the code to see what it's doing, so that you can KNOW that nothing fishy is going on. That goes for Violentmonkey and that goes for my own humble UserScripts. I hope people look at the code and confirm for themselves that nothing malicious is going on, because they can.

@vss4
There's a browser extension I started using that has some tastefully done sound effects, and I was surprised by how satisfying I found it. It makes me want to use the extension more just to hear the sound. For HX, I probably wouldn't use sound effects, but I do want to incorporate sound into future projects.

However, for HX, I think I'm done writing code for now. I've solved all the immediate pain points that I experienced.

If you tried this script and didn't like it, it's easy to either temporarily disable or permanently remove this script. I've provided a short 14 second video to demonstrate how to do this.
