Giro/cyclingnews VDS color coding

by zegnotronic on May 9, 2007 1:20 PM EDT Comment 5 comments

I found a greasemonkey script that I modified for my VDS teams.
It allows me to see my team highlighted on the cyclingnews
start lists and results page. My Giro team is highlighted in
pink, while my regular VDS team is in black and red.
Here's is a screenshot of the start list (click on for a larger view):

Here is a shot of a results page. It makes
it a lot easier to see how my team performed (click on for larger picture)

If you're interested in setting this up for yourself, let me know.
It requires Firefox, Greasemonkey, and a little bit of time to
create a script for your own team.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I've been looking for an excuse to give Greasemonkey a whirl after all the great things I've read about it.

Very cool!

I Think I'll set this up next week (going away this weekend). Also, I'd make this a full post but the graphics are too wide.

Great idea, for sure...

I like that a lot

I have not done anything with Greasemonkey but am really enjoying using the All_in_One_gestures. Makes it really simple to jump tabs after you get used to it. Also you can create your own, perfect for translating Italian or French Websites.

Have you uploaded your script into

the greasemonkey repository yet?

I've done some searching there (Userscripts.org) and found a couple of cyclingnews scripts, which look like they just highlight countries and teams, and lots of scripts for coloring all sorts of different things. But trying to edit one of these from scratch is probably beyond my limited knowledge and much too time-consuming for me to figure out.

If you could make your script publicly available I'm sure a lot of us here would greatly appreciate it.

script

i haven't uploaded the scripts to any repositories yet because I haven't had time to change the credits and all that jazz. I took the same script you are probably talking about and just customized it for my team. I can send you the script, just email me at djeung (at) rocketmail.com, and I'll send you mine.
