Coding Day

Sometimes Google’s search box is not enough as a size. So I decided to add a simple CSS class to the textbox to display wider and clearer.To add some css style sheets to sites in Firefox, there is a powerful addon called stylish. So a simple stylish css code can provide that change. As a result Google search box becomes wider and with font colour red. It is optimized for  wide screens width sized 1280.

After

You can install it from UserStyles.org or just copy the code to your stylish add-on. You need to have either GreaseMonkey or Stylish add-ons installed on Firefox

{	
	[name="q"] {width:925px; font-size:14pt!important;
			 color:red!important; font-weight:bold!important }
}

Blog it from Windows Live Writer.
Windows Live Writer is a new desktop application for composing blog posts to your blog service.

Usage

Currently the addon posts a page link or selected text to Windows Live Writer. You can access it from the context (right click) menu or the main menu.
To use it you need to have Windows Live Writer installed on your machine.
