App » Facebook Notifications extension for Google Chrome

Since Facebook Notifier got removed (which I guess Facebook has something to do with), I've been searching for a subtitute app for my simple need: to be notified when something's new one FB. Gladly I ran into the official Facebook extension for Chrome.

Facbook Notifications only does what its name suggests: it shows the red number of notifications you have, show a desktop notification (a small window at the bottom right corner of your screen) and if you click on the message, it'll take you to the story page. Fast, easy and simple. With nice design and a lightweight feeling. This is what I need!

BUT, there's one thing irritating about it: When you click on the icon, a pop up window will show up displaying 5 most recent FB Notifications. When you click on one of them, the pop up window disappears,  together with your new notification count, you have to check it again in the full webpage. Furthermore, it takes some time for the pop up to show up (this is Chrome's fault, all pop up windows do that), so as impatient and talkative as I am, this bugs the hell out of me! There's also no quick way to get to the facebook home page.

So I decided to play around a little with the extension. No more pop up, no more frowns on my face, everybody's happy. The little icon now takes me directly to the FB homepage plus the very small memory footprint, life's all good again :-)

So give it a try if you're using Google Chrome/Chromium. It keeps you connected to your friend when you're not working with the browser. And what if you don't? Your lost LOL.

PS. Of course I can share the modified version with you but you have to ask for it secretly and because I'm not sure about the copyright status of the app.

Wider Happy Farm (Facebook Game) – Part II

Sau lần Happy Farm thay đổi thì cái hướng dẫn lần trước không còn hiện được cái Farm to bự sung sướng nữa. Đã hứa với Peck sẽ chỉ lại mà lười + quền hoài, thôi thì nay quyết tâm mần một cú trả nợ tình xưa :D

For Firefox:

1. Install Stylish for Firefox, an add-on to change the look of any website you want (if u know how).
2. Restart Firefox, you’ll see a white S icon at the status bar (bottom, right). Right click, choose Write new Style > Blank style.
   (If you have a Style for Happy Farm before, you must chose Manage Styles and delete it.)
3. On the new opened window, type in the Name of the new Style. Of course I use Happy Farm. Copy and paste the following text to the big textarea then hit Save.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url-prefix("http://apps.facebook.com/happyfarmers") {
    .canvas_iframe_util {
        width: 1000px !important;
        margin-left: -15px;
        padding-left: 17px;
    }
    #app_content_57132175859 {
        width:1000px;
    }

    .UIStandardFrame_SidebarAds {
        visibility:hidden;
    }
}

4. Create another new blank Stlye and paste the following text, and of course Save it. You can call it fminutes. You can adjust the Height to vertically fit your screen. The Optimal height for my 15,4” widescreen laptop is 690px.

   @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

   @-moz-document domain("fb.hf.fminutes.us") {
       #page {
           width:100% !important;
       }
       #myContent {
           width:975px !important;
           height:768px !important;
       }
   }

 

For Google Chrome (currently it only works with the newest version of Dev Channel):

1. Intall the extension Chrome Stylish.
2. Click the Extensions option in the Main Menu, or go to this address chrome://extensions/
3. Find the extension Chrome Stylish and click its Options button.
4. Create 2 new Styles by clicking Add New Style, enter names for each of the following codes, save and you’re done.

Happy Farm

height: 950px;    }
    #app_content_57132175859 {
        width:1000px;

    }

    .UIStandardFrame_SidebarAds {
        visibility:hidden;
