Meet the Developer mode

Attention style developers

We've added a new developer feature in FreeStyler extension to make creating new style much easier. With its help you can start creating new style right on from the page of said site. Here's what you'll need to do:

Open FreeStyler menu;

Click "Create style for this site" bar;

Select for which pages style will be applied - for exact URL, URLs with prefix or for whole domain;

The style editor will be started with selected style settings and predefined name. You just need to start writing CSS or to create style with Visual Editor.

You can discuss this new feature in our forum: http://freestyler.ws/forum/discussion/9/developer-mode-the-new-way-to-create-styles

Note that new developer mode available only in FreeStyler for Chrome.

Dear users!

As per your requests we've created a new method to prevent easily styles from changing the pages you do not want to change. We called it "exceptions".

If the style applied on the page it should not apply; you can fix it in few clicks by adding an exception for this style.

Here's how you can do so:

in the main FreeStyler menu select style you do not want to be applied to the page and go to its details by clicking the wrench button;

click "Do not apply style here" and select how 'wide' the new exceptions should be: just for current URL, for the whole site/domain or something in between;

click Apply to confirm the new exception.

That's all - now this style would not change the current page. You can manage the exceptions in the menu or the Style Manager.

You can find detailed documentation about exceptions here: http://freestyler.ws/help/exclude or discuss the new feature on our forum https://freestyler.ws/forum/discussion/7/exceptions-prevent-styles-from-changing-the-pages-you-do-not-want-to-change

Here https://freestyler.ws/style/135291 is the new style to make you happy! It differs from the other styles completely: laconic, attentive to details and colors, presenting semitransparent UI elements. I guess I finally found my zen in it, but it's up to you to decide :) Something tells me that some of you may apply this one as an everyday style! Shades of deep green, bright spot in the center of the screen – such a balance between nature's tranquility and breathtaking beauty, captured by the photographer.

Modern style for modern web-site https://freestyler.ws/style/120117. v. 1.0.2 - small ui fixes, NO ADS

[freestylerws]

Check out my first style (https://freestyler.ws/style/134161) for Dropbox!

This one doesn't look like any of the previous styles made by me, you know! This style changes the website color scheme completely according to your choice. Pick any background color you like, define one out of three background textures (you're free to ignore texture at all), and choose colors of fonts (and hyperlinks) on your own preference.

Such a wide variety of options for the style's customization, isn't it? Just a few clicks to create either light, or dark versions of the same style!

Push the “Customize style” button and choose the colors you prefer. The style's default color scale is dark, but it's no bother to change it. ;)

Have you ever caught yourself at abstracting from one thing in favor of another while web-surfing Vk.com?

I bet you have ;)

Honestly, I created this style (https://freestyler.ws/style/133943) for my own private purpose, but now I see how useful it can be for a wide range of the Vk.com users.

First, I hid all the ads, though it's not essential for the English version I use.

I also removed comments, likes and reposts.

It means you can't either see likes and comments from other people, or leave your own.

You may find it rough, but there's plenty of time you can save if you use direct messages only.

Most of settings are moved to parameters, so you can configure the style by preference.

Hope this style will help making you communications more efficient :)
