User stylesheets for Map Maker

[wdmanuel]

Anybody else out there who uses Stylish for Firefox to change your
user interface? I think Google Chrome now has a similar feature
Userstyles. No idea for Internet Explorer. I heard Opera also supports
it.

I'd like to share one of the lines I use which I think is useful for
some:

div[id^='cp'] {
width:5px !important;
height:5px !important;
margin-top:1px !important;
margin-left:-1px !important;
-moz-border-radius:5px;
cursor:crosshair !important;
}

What this essentially does is to make the control points smaller
(width and height: 5 pixels). Then realigns them (margin-top and
margin-left). Then, it rounds out the control points so that they're
circles (-moz-border-radius). I don't like the hand cursor so I
changed the cursor to crosshair.

Do you guys have similar modifications to your user interface?

I have several others and I'll just share them in the future.

It's super nice. And it comes in handy when drawing circles because
sometimes those pesky big squares block the others and it is difficult
to visualize if it is really perfectly circle.

That's true especially with polygons having lots of nodes, the squares
appear stacked up with each other. What I also do if I want to make a
road arc (esp. if it's small) appear more rounded/smoother, I zoom in
the satellite view until the gray "sorry" tiles come out, hence the
small roads are at least magnified even more. Then check it in normal
view if that road aligns with the satellite pic.
Anyway keep posting for more styles you know and share them with the
group. Thanks..

Nice! Map Maker should allow such customization directly instead of
forcing inconvenient defaults. Link to related issue:

I have a lot of others that I use but I thought that the modification
for the circle control point is the most interesting and that it would
benefit a lot of people. Most of my CSS are usually just for my
convenience.

Here's my normal screen when working on GMM:

- the circle control points (mentioned in the previous post)
- the side panel is hidden and it only shows up when I hover.
- the top google bar is removed.
- some stuff are turned into icon because I regularly use half of the
screen (while watching something) and so the messages that are
displayed could still be visible.
- the info balloons are wider (100px wider) and the texts are smaller
and line breaks are removed so that there would be less panning as the
info balloons are less in height.
- the buttons at the upper right corner are custom buttons I made for
some tasks that I keep on repeating (greasemonkey)
