How to restore the Digg 2.0 look to Digg v3
Like many, I don't like the new look Digg has been given - navigation on the left, ads on the right, content squeezed into a narrow column in the middle. However there is a way - using Opera 9 - to improve the appearence of the site:
- Copy and paste the following into notepad:
#top_ad, .banner_ad {
display: none !important;
}
#contents, #sidebar {
float: left !important;
border: none !important;
background: none !important;
}
#container {
background: none !important;
}
#sidebar {
background: url(/img/sidebar-top.gif) 155px 0 no-repeat;
padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;
background-position: 0 0; }
h3 a {
text-decoration: none;
background: url(/img/link-line.gif) repeat-x 0 95%;
} - Save the file as "digg.css", making sure to select "all files" in the "Save as type" drop-down
- In Opera, right-click anywhere on a Digg page and select "Edit site preferences"
- Click on the "Display" tab then chose your digg.css file in the "My style sheet" box and click OK.
- Close and restart Opera. The navigation bar should now be on the right with the content on the left.
