Hiding artists names on WinCustomize.com

The other day, reading a thread about ratings and what-not, I wished I didn't know who an artist was for a skin . .so my opinion wouldn't be colored by that.

I asked kryo to help me out and have a greasemonkey script that does exactly that.

It hide the author's name on WinCustomize (or most of it).  The author link is still there if you want to know . . or you can turn off the script.

It was for personal use . . but someone else may find it useful too.

 

Install greasemonkey for Firefox or tampermonky for Chrome.  IE users are on their own.


Create a text file with the below code.

Code: javascript
  1. // ==UserScript==
  2. // @name Hide skin author names
  3. // @namespace https://forums.stardock.com
  4. // @include https://www.wincustomize.com/*
  5. // @include http://www.guichamps.com/*
  6. // @version 1
  7. // @grant none
  8. // ==/UserScript==
  9. var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
  10. function addCSS(css) {
  11. var style = document.createElement('style');
  12. style.type = 'text/css';
  13. style.innerHTML = css;
  14. head.appendChild(style);
  15. }
  16. addCSS("table.skinprofile tbody tr td h3 a { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  17. addCSS("div.explore_listing div.info_pane h2 a { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  18. addCSS("div.body h5 a { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  19. addCSS("div.info h5 a:nth-child(1) { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  20. addCSS("div.info h5 { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  21. addCSS("table.skinpreview tbody tr td h2:nth-child(3) a { opacity:0.0 !important; }");
  22. addCSS("div.meta p a { opacity:0.0 !important; }");

 Save it as [filename].user.js


Add the script and reload the page.  The script runs at the end . . so if you look right away, you may see author's names.  Don't peek unless you want to peek . . . and then ask yourself why you installed the script.

If you see an author's name somewhere on the page . . edit the script to hide it.  (I might be able to help if you post the url and screenshot here.

Here's another and more effective solution:

Everyone who let their rating be tainted by who the artist is should be lined up and shot.

Might not be as popular, and it would be a damn long line - but it'd work.

PS.: Now that you guy's got extra time to code 'valuable things' like this, how about fixing up the site as well? ;)

Hey... while you're writing code, how about fixing the tools? 

 

*ok. I definitely took a crazy pill. I just asked Zubaz to write code.

Edit: Now might be a good time to ask... Does this mean "I totally agree" or not ? :grin:

This wasn't a work project.  If it was it would be done much better and part of the site.  The WebDevs are working on other, more important things.  :thumbsup:

You have no idea how many times the dam thing wouldn't work because the stupid website was being stupid . . or there might have been a typo or two.

Nothing has changed on that part, I see. No big surprise there.

The operation/function of Wincustomize (and it's admin site) is still at the bottom of the to-do list.
