Greasemonkey Script - modify new forum look

So I love some things about the new forums. Something I don't like about the forums are how it looks. The colors and the large background image, however, I'm not so crazy about.

I've been putzing around with Greasemonkey for other things. Greasemonkey, for those who don't know, is a client side scripting process that allows users of various websites to change the look and feel of the site to their whim.

I've not had much chance to play with it, though, and figured creating a script to change the settings of the forums would be a neat little test.

Here's an image of the site normally: http://www.greenjournal.net/images/unalteredCoH.png.

Here's an image of the site after messing around with Greasemonkey for an hour: http://www.greenjournal.net/images/modifiedCoH.png.

I took out the background image, and the header image, and changed the pale blue-green color scheme to a brighter blue on black background.

The power of Greasemonkey is that if and when I make this script useable to the world (ie - you folks) you can change these colors to what ever you want as well, or make what ever changes you want.

I'm no HTML guru, a lot of my code is copied and pasted from various Greasemonkey tutorials, so I'm sure there's improvements to be made. And as this doesn't change anything on the server, only how certain html elements are presented in your browser, this, to my knowledge, doesn't break any permissions on the CoH fourms either.

I will keep people updated if there is any interest.

I was thinking of doing something similar to this, except instead of GreaseMonkey, I'd recommend using Stylish to just change the CSS.

Since GreaseMonkey runs a script, it'll be potentially slower than Stylish, which just appends a style sheet. The downside is that you have to fish for the CSS selectors you want, and make sure they're prioritized over those in the original sheet.

I'm probably going to wait about a week to see what changes, if any, are made to the forums, but I'd be up for helping out with this effort after that.

Edit: Greasemonkey, on the other hand, could be used to add some cool functionality to the forums. I'll have to think about that as well.
