Facebook plugins - smileys and more

Motivation

Presentation

Today over 200 million people 200 million people a day log on to Facebook. If you are here - most likely you are one of them. It's not hard to see that the way Facebook looks and it's functionality, usability and design can't manage to satisfy even 70% of the people that use it. That default complicated and spammy FB layout, facebook chat that parses only several smileys as images, and stuff like that.

That's why I listed here plugins that you can install to make your Facebook time more comfortable.


Chat emoticons and smileys - Facemoods

Add-on that extends your facebook with animated smileys. It adds a smiley-button into your Facebook chat. When you click it - extended list of emoticons will appear. You can then choose an emoticon that you want to send to your friend and submit it. This reminds me of the good-old isq emoticons. =) You can also send smileys via Facebook and do a lot more different cool stuff.

If you don't trust - simply go ahead and check it.

Download

Uninstallation

If you'll ever want to uninstall it - just disable Facemoods bar (right click it and un-check), or you can "disable"/"delete" the extension in Firefox. Also, you can uninstall it in the "Control panel".




Firefox script plugins/addons for facebook

A lot of facebook plugins listed below don't work, but as I suggest that facebook is a crap, I don't really use facebook a lot, and so I didn't test all of them. Just the part. And I didn't research that stuff a lot. So if you'll find some facebook plugins listed here not working, or if you'll find some more handy facebook scripts, or addons - e-mail to me (you can find my mail in the bottom of the page), please. And I'll most likely delete them from the list (in the first case), or post them here (in the second case). Enjoy =)

Installing Facebook script plugins

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows you to customize the way webpages look and function.

  1. You may want to view official Userscripts help on GreaseMonkey add-on.
  2. Install GreaseMonkey add-on.
  3. Get on some script's page.
  4. Press Install.
  5. You may need to setup the script. If so, and you are confused - go to step 1.

Scripts

Following add-ons are GreaseMonkey plugin that enables installation of scripts, that are listed below and the scripts themselves. So here's what you need to do (if you want, of course).

Facebook colour changer Gives options for changing Facebook color scheme to what you want it to be using a color selector.
In your Facebook Zooming avatar pictures - larger versions of thumbnails and profile pictures on mouseover on Facebook.
Facebook: Cleaner Deletes ads - this script removes many ads and updates that unavoidably appear on your Facebook pages.
Bearable Facebook Wallpost Makes the Facebook wall-post comment section textbox biugger, lengthening and widening it to the width of an actual post.

Remember that facebook addons, plugins and scripts only change the way facebook looks on your own computer.

Question
Greetings,
I just visited your page about facebook plug-ins. It's nice. You talked about Greasemonkey. I want to make a script of my own but don't know how. Please tell me what do I need / what should i know to write a script of greasemonkey?

If you know such script that will replace ":)" <- this type of codes to smileys [gif/jpg] please let me know.
Answer
You need to know JavaScript to make a Greasemonkey add-on.
I don't know any Greasemonkey script for that, but FaceMoods (listed first here) is a lot better than just that. Trust me, there's a whole crowd of people making it.

Question
I installed the Facemoods thing o my laptop but now its SUPER SLOW! And I wanna uninstall it but when I got it I deleted the toolbar and now I can't find anyway to uninstall it. :(
Answer
Wow, that's strange! If you've installed the IE + Firefox version - I believe it should uninstall after you "Remove" it in "Control Panel" ➢ "Add or Remove Programs". In Firefox you can uninstall plugins in "Instruments" ➢ "Add-ons" (or "Plug-ins").
Question
I share a computer with my family if I add this app will it show up if my mom, dad, or sister logs on to chat or will it just be on mine?
Answer
I think, the only thing that's gonna be changed on Facebook - is that there will be a small icon for Facemoods in FB chat, so there's not a big difference anyhow. If you've got different users accounts - only for you. If you're on the same one - for all.
Question
I installed "Change Facebook layout with ChameleonTom" and its cool but It didn't change the upper line of Facebook(head) where it says home, profile, find friends, account... any solution? :)
Answer
I think it should change when you install a corresponding layout. You can preview available layouts in their layout center. So look at the upper lines of the layouts' screenshots and find one where it's not blue. I think that should work.
Question
I want to download but the file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies the publisher. How can I be sure it is safe to download?
Answer
Well.. Almost all the plugins don't.. =) Take a look at Firefox's plugin center. It's really hard to find ones that do have this signature.
Question

Answer
Donno about this things. =/ You don't have to pay anything for using Facemoods.
