@dievilz Glad to hear it's working!
Could you clarify one thing please?
After disabling the "Custom Style Script," did the script start working without updating to the latest version (the one I just rolled out that uses the GM_addStyle API)?
Or did you update to the latest version, but it still didn’t work until you disabled the "Custom Style Script"?

Regarding your issue with the local font, I think you can try to grant Tampermonkey permission to read local files, but wouldn’t it be easier to find or convert font to TTF and install it as a system font and then add the appropriate CSS in the script like this:

/* Code blocks font */
cssBlocks.codeBlockFontFamily = `
  code, pre {
    font-family: PragmataPro, Consolas,Söhne Mono,Monaco,Andale Mono,Ubuntu Mono,monospace!important;
  }
`;

Yeah, ofc.
I updated to the latest version (the one that uses GM_addStyle), and then disabled Custom Syle Script and Stylebot and it worked! Right now is working with GM_addStyle.

I have them in TTF too. I already tried it this way:

  cssBlocks.userFont = `
    pre, code {
      font-family: 'PragmataPro', monospace !important;
      font-size: 16.9px;
    }
  `;

and it worked, except the font-size property :(

So even with the latest version, it didn’t work until you disabled the other extensions? I’m just trying to figure out what’s happening here since you mentioned earlier that this script wasn’t working while "Wider AI Chat" was 🙂 I changed the main difference between the scripts, expecting that this one would start working under the same conditions as "Wider AI Chat", but it isn't, right?


Try

font-size: 16.9px !important;

P.S. Just updated the script to handle changes to the upper bar selectors to restore its transparency, and I also added a new style for code blocks inside user input (they now have a background and text wrapping).

Vanilla:
2024-09-15--21-31-27--456
Userscript:
2024-09-15--21-31-47--248

@alexchexes

Yes, just as you said, because I still made some testing after the GM_addStyle addition and it didn't work.

I changed the main difference between the scripts, expecting that this one would start working under the same conditions as "Wider AI Chat", but it isn't, right?

I tested again by enabling 'Wider AI Chat', enabling Stylebot, and that userscript is working fine.

My guess is that Stylebot is removing your CSS fixes at load time, because if I try the following flow:

  1. Disable Stylebot custom style for ChatGPT.
  2. Disable Wider AI Chat in Violentmonkey
  3. Enable ChatGPT CSS fixes in Violentmonkey
  4. Reopen the browser, then ChatGPT
  5. ChatGPT now shows CSS fixes
  6. If I enable my custom style in Stylebot...

Then the font changes I made are applied without disabling the CSS fixes. I guess was the same for Custom Style Script extension.

Try

font-size: 16.9px !important;

It worked! Thank you!
I'mma save it here for userscript updates:

  cssBlocks.userFont = `
    code, pre {
      font-family: 'PragmataPro', monospace !important;
      font-size: 16.9px !important;
    }
  `;

@dievilz Ok, I'll investigate the interaction between this script and Stylebot a bit later.
Thank you!

Hi, @alexchexes!

Sorry to bother you again, but the userscript is failling again 😓.

The best way to describe it is that without other extensions enabled, if I reload the tab, the UI fixes (the userscript) load correctly and everything is nice, but if I change to another chat, the CSS for the sidebar (only the sidebar really) reverts to default, and it can't be enabled again, unless I reload the tab, although is useless because of the previously mentioned behaviour.

To be specific, the immediate changes I can quickly notice is that the sidebar is narrower again, the subtitles for 'last time used' are not orange but the modification to wrap the name of the chat is still working (I don't remember if that's something you fixed or was a default). Also I notice like a week ago (when the userscript was working) the default font for the website changed for another one that was nicer to see and was bold and also that was reverted.

And strangely, everything else is working fine, the chat view is still wide and for example, the cssBlocks.userFont snippet that you gave me, is still working fine, I can still see my custom font.

I tested on Brave and Opera and both have the same problem.

It's not a dealbreaker but I got used to that orange hue and bold text hehe.

@dievilz Yeah I'm aware of the problem, it came up recently, going to update the script soon. Thank you

UPD: The script is updated
