Show HN: Chrome extension to put GitHub's header back to the way it was
- ryanfs 10y agoAnyone else been finding the new github header distracting? I sure have. Ever feel nostalgia for the way things were? I do everyday. Well now you can go back to github’s normal header with this simple plugin.
- simplehuman 10y agoFirefox user here. Is the code for this opensource by any chance? I will make a firefox extension :-)
- mp3geek 10y agoWorks fine as a webextension under firefox nightly
- ryanfs 10y agoSure is! Here's the repo: https://github.com/ryanfs/revert-github-header-chrome-extension https://github.com/ryanfs/revert-github-header-chrome-extens...
- simplehuman 10y agoThanks! For those who want to try on firefox: 1. clone the repo 2. about:debugging. Load temporary -> select any file in repo BTW, did you not figure any other way other than setTimeout() ? There is a flicker because of that.
- ryanfs 10y agoIt flickers for longer than what the timeout is set to, which makes me think that it takes a split second for the extension to run. But no, I couldn't figure out a better way to get it to fire than wrapping it in a timeout :( An event listener for DOMContentLoaded didn't do the trick either.
- pmontra 10y agoYou can install stylish and add your own CSS to fix that. You'll be able to fix other sites as a bonus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
- olalonde 10y agoHas anything else changed apart from the color?
- rbjorklin 10y agoWhy do (some) people reject all kinds of change?
- jameskilton 10y agoThis change has one important ramification that can cause confusion: Github Enterprise has always had the black header bar. If Github keeps the black header bar for both, it will be easier to accidentally be working in the wrong Github.
- kevin2r 10y agoNow you said that, I wonder if it's a bug or a feature? :)
- Trindaz 10y agoSometimes the changes are bad
- dingaling 10y agoOftentimes because the change holds no benefit to them and they were not consulted. This creates a default 'change wariness' posture.
- cammsaul 10y agoDon't rain on GitHub's parade, this was their big feature of Q1 2017
- CorvusCrypto 10y agoI feel like the only person that quite liked the new header... Hm. My choices in life apparently suck.
- kator 10y ago+1 me too, I think people get too caught up in how things used to be. Really life will change, we will all come and go, getting too attached is the basis of all suffering. EDIT: Explained myself
- Insanity 10y agoThe new header does create an unpleasant display to be honest. The colour is "too strong", but that is highly subjective and some people might like it. As for me, I just installed your plugin, works great on chromium and makes the page instantly look better, thank you!
- pkrefta 10y agoNew header fits to the whole design like there was some kind of mouring going on :/
- tarboreus 10y agoI get a long delay before it changes. Went with Stylish instead.
- ryanfs 10y agoI like the delay. It reminds me of what things could be.
- ap46 10y agoVery poor contrast between the text & header. GitHub, go with any of these(give us an option at least)! Black+Cyan Blue+Orange Cyan+Yellow Grey Paper+ White
- nstart 10y agoI don't have any issue with the banner change but is there any announcement anywhere why the change happened at all?
- max_ 10y agoGitHub should stop making these abrupt changes to their ui. It makes me at first worry am on a phishing site.
