Writing a userscript that replaces a background image

Question

This is the code

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Wood Background
// @namespace      http://www.nationstates.net/nation=ellorn
// @description    Changes bac         


        

Answer 1

For just style changes, use the Stylish add-on (some variant of this is available on almost every browser).

Stylish is faster, lighter, and easier than Greasemonkey or userscripts. There are plenty of pre-made styles available at userstyles.org.

Barring that, use built-in functions, like GM_addStyle().

The following script works on Firefox and Chrome, and probably a few other browsers. (There was a syntax error in the CSS string) :

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Wood Background
// @namespace   http://www.nationstates.net/nation=ellorn
// @description Changes background to wood finish
// @include     http:*//w11.zetaboards.com/Allied_Republics/*
// ==/UserScript==

GM_addStyle (
    "* { background: #00ff00 "
    + "url('http://awesomewallpapers.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/wooden_top.jpg')"
    + " no-repeat fixed center; }"
);

Note that it would be best to replace the * with body.
