After poking around with the CSS for digg.com, I finally came up with a nice solution for myself. After shrinking a variety of things, I got the site width down to 746px, which is roughly the width of browser windows I use. Granted that it isn’t perfect, it is very usable.
If anyone like me, uses long narrow browser windows you can apply the same CSS styles, which you can download here.
If you are using Firefox, you can apply the custom styles using Stylish, of just add the custom css to your usercontent.css file (just remember that you will need to include the proprietary domain encapsulation to my styles.
If you are using Safari, just swing over and grab Stand and point the custom CSS to the digg.css file.
Update: 13 November 2006
I have updated the css file to account for the “Set Digg Home” link not be obfuscated by text.
Also, in order for this to work in Stylish for Firefox, you need to encapsulate the text with the following:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain(”digg.com”) {
[styles go here]
}
fantastic work jjafuller…tested this out on my firefox install at work and it’s so much better…
i will try it out on safari at home and give you a heads up…

you guys are losers
That statement could not be further from the truth.
sorry your too “cool” for us rusty
fucking noob
go hang out at myspace and create bulletins
nope. you guys are losers.
…I cannot believe you are saying this, Rusty, because you really are one of the biggest losers I know.
yeah i don’t know what has been up rusty’s ass recently
only losers think they are cool and shit on their friends for no reason at all
:-\
lol and look at me shitting all over rusty..lol regardless ef russ :-[
mac sucks :p
just had to agree with rusty.
well macs don’t “always suck” I like about 10% of their features, the rest is just over priced, but nice and small.
You just say that because you don’t have one so you don’t know what you are missing. I cannot think of anything that I would rather use Windows for than OS X.
I agree with fulljeff 200% Linux doesn’t support like five things out the box that OS X can after typing three lines on the first boot.
If I may….
HOLY FREAKIN’ COW THIS IS 5W33T!!!!
so glad to have it back THANKS!!!
having some probs with this. stylish makes it a global style rather than just for digg. any ideas on how to clear it up?
keng – you need to make sure that the style is encapsulated in site specific css that only works in gecko:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain(“digg.com”) {
[styles go here]
}
oh those dang ‘{}’!!!
works great now…thanks….again.
