Hi,

You can view the Quickstyle instructions at http://canisbos.tumblr.com/quickstyle. I disabled the canisbos.com URL because I don't want new visitors to the site. All of my extensions will stop working when Safari 12 is released, and I don't want to support them anymore.

Regards,
Chul

Thanks, Mike. I regret that I don't have enough free time to port Quickstyle to Apple's new system.

Were you aware of the "Make Text Bigger" command in Safari? I'm not sure when they added this, but it removes a lot of the need for Quickstyle, because the command makes text bigger without enlarging other things, like images. To access it, hold down the Option key while selecting the View menu and you will see the command in place of the "Zoom In" command. You can also access it by typing Command-Option-+. Your setting is remembered between visits to the page. I'm not sure if the setting applies to a whole site, some subset of a site, or just a single page.

Regards,
Chul

Oh No!

Quickstyle is bar non my favorite extension. I don’t see well and being able to enlarge text that web sites make too small has been a god send. I’m sure you have good reasons for you discussions. The best of luck to you in the future.

Hi Bruce,

Here is a JavaScript bookmarklet that will unmask a password whenever the password field is in focus (i.e., when you click inside it or tab to it) and hide it again when the field is out of focus.

javascript:document.querySelectorAll("input[type=password]").forEach(function(o){o.onfocus=function(){o.type="text"},o.onblur=function(){o.type="password"}});

Just create a new bookmark and set the bookmark's URL to the whole thing above. Then, whenever you want to unmask a password, use the bookmark. Note: If the password field is already in focus when you use the bookmark, nothing will happen until you defocus and refocus the field.

Here is a slightly different version if you would prefer to unmask the password only when you move the mouse over it (and hide it again when you move the mouse away):

javascript:document.querySelectorAll("input[type=password]").forEach(function(o){o.onmouseover=function(){o.type="text"},o.onmouseout=function(){o.type="password"}});

Regards,
Chul

Hi Chul,

I'm sad you won't be supporting your extensions starting with Safari 12. I've relied on Showpass, Quickstyle and others, for a long time and appreciate all you've done for the Mac community. 

I understand that some of what Quickstyle does may be provided by Safari, but do you know of any other software that duplicates the functionality of Showpass?

Thanks.

Bruce
