It's been a while since my last post, partly due to the research work required for my newest creation: a Firefox add-on extending some functionalities on funkysnooker and funkypool websites!
In its first and current version (1.0), the add-on has 2 features:
- "Make selected text viewable": Due to Firefox' special behaviour in some cases, the selected text in the content part of the sites is barely visible (selected is blue on white, non-selected is black on white). With the add-on you can override this behaviour, and have the selected text in white on blue as in Internet Explorer. This works on both funkysnooker and funkypool!
- "Add additional stats on users' profile": This will add the "Games per century" and the "Games per half-century" statistics on every user's profile. Of course, this works on funkysnooker only, and for Arcade, Regular and Original game types. The value's background is slightly different from the normal one, so you can know at any time that it's not a funkysnooker core feature.
To install the add-on, you need to first download it from this link. Unzip it, then open the .xpi file from your Firefox browser, or just drag the file into any Firefox window. After installation, you'll be asked to restart Firefox. Finally, you'll need to enable the features, as they are disabled by default; you can do that by opening the "Tools > Add-ons" menu, searching for the "funkyAddOn" entry, and clicking "Options".
Oh, and the add-on supports only Firefox version 3.0 or above. Maybe it works with older versions too, but I didn't test them.
If you find any issue, or have ideas to improve the add-on and add valuable functionalities, don't hesitate to let me know, I'll be glad to include them in future releases!
Edited on 12th March: A minor fix has been released in the new, 1.0.1 version of the add-on. The download link has been updated.
