I’ve seen some people asking for a fullscreen view mode, so I put together a little script that changes some styles for the website.

**To use it;**

> 1. Open your browser console by pressing F12 (default), and selecting the console tab
> 2. Paste the script text at the bottom of this post into the console
> 3. Press enter

* * *

I also have a [Stylish](https://userstyles.org/) ([Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en), [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/) ) plugin:

> **[EVE Online forums fullscreen view mode](https://userstyles.org/styles/144255/eve-online-forums-fullscreen-view-mode)**
>
> Free website themes & skins created by the Stylish community on Userstyles.org

And a [Greasemonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) (Firefox) / [Tampermonkey](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en) (Chrome) script:

> [EVE Online forums fullscreen mode script - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/tzCQ0mV5)

* * *

> You should see the forum change to a fullscreen mode.  
> Note that this does not do anything other than change the way the forums look.

**Here are some previews:**

Please give me a shout if you find any problems.  
The script is below.

```javascript
$('head').append(
'\

.wrap { max-width: 100% !important}\
.timeline-docked { right: 10px !important; }\
.timeline-container { right: 10px !important; }\

#reply-control .reply-area { max-width: unset !important; }\
.user-right { width: 90% !important }\
.user-content { max-width: unset !important; }\
.save-button { margin-top: 40px !important; width: 93% !important; }\

);

I added GreaseMonkey, TamperMonkey, and Stylish plugins. Just a little bump to reflect that.

It’s also possible to do with a bookmarklet.

Though I can’t demo that here.

Oh, right! I did not think of that. You’re very welcome to add it in here if you do create one; it would be useful. The license on all the stuff is public domain anyway, so you can steal it and make your own.

heh. yours works just fine.

```
javascript:{$('head').append('<style>.wrap { max-width: 100% !important}.timeline-docked { right: 10px !important; } .timeline-container { right: 10px !important; } .topic-body { width: 85% !important }\#reply-control .wmd-controls { width: 85% !important; } #reply-control .reply-area { max-width: unset !important; } .user-right { width: 90% !important } .user-content { max-width: unset !important; } .save-button { margin-top: 40px !important; width: 93% !important; } .save-button.controls { width: 100% !important; } .save-button * { font-size: 17px !important; height: 40px !important; width: 100% !important; } .save-user { width: 30% !important; } .menu-panel { margin-right: 30px !important; } </style>');};void(0);

```

as the link (probably. depends if the forum mangles it)

Ah, cool :). Thank you. That works. I find the forums quite a lot more usable this way.

greasemonkey or similar is the better option, as it’s persistent 🙂

I just like giving alternate options.

All good. Stylish works best in my opinion, though I did test the other two and they work as well. Less complicated with Stylish since it’s just a stylesheet injection with a one-click install from the website, rather than the whole script creation thingy.

If you have any ideas/additions/whatever, please post them here or message me and I’ll include them with full credit to you.

That goes to everyone, too. I’m going to go and do real-life things now 😸.

if you want rid of that timeline thing, add in “display: none;” into it’s section in the console command. It will still take up space, but won’t be visible.

</div>

if you just expand the topic-body to 100%, that will use up the space from the timeline (just set display:none on the timeline)

Got mine set to 75% width and 95% topic-body width and with the timeline thing hidden, it is starting to get there. Looks a lot more comfortable than the 100% one.

Now need to find a away to get the posts the right shade of grey :

Awesome! Thanks for this. Added to Tampermonkey for Chrome and it works like a charm.

I tried that, though the timeline floats above the stuff and looks weird. I suppose hiding it would work, though :). I quite like the timeline so I made space for it. It does look a bit weird when there is no timeline.

This looks great, nice work! Is it possible to move the blue scroll bar a bit to the right? It’s overlapping with post content a little.

I totally stole your styles, and created an **experimental** theme that can be chosen in the preferences.

_Disclaimer_: I have not fully tested these styles, the theme is labeled experimental for a reason. I reserve the right to disable this theme at any point if I deem it necessary or even without a reason. :aura:
