I have written a Greasemonkey script which will replace the standard Scorehero menus with some slick, modern YUI menus. The main perks of the script I've written is that it has nested menus (so you don't have to keep loading pages to get to scores), as well as a full menu bar on the forums. It works on both the GH and RB side of Scorehero.

The Script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24258

Requirements:
-Firefox 3 (with Greasemonkey)
OR
-Opera (You will need to read the tutorial on adding javascript to Opera, specifically the part on adding user javascripts.)
OR
-Safari 3 on OS X (Safari 4 may work, haven't tested)
-GreaseKit

Instructions:
For Firefox:
1. Install Firefox. (Link)
2. Install Greasemonkey. (Link)
3. Go to the script page, click on "Install this script" on the right. Click "Install" once it lets you do so. (Link)

(Note: If you have something like NoScript blocking scripts from executing, you'll need to turn those off on Scorehero for this to work, since the menus are nothing but a script!)

For Opera:
1. Install Opera. (Link)
2. Follow Opera's directions to create a Javascript directory. (Link)
3. Go to the script page, right-click on "Install this script" and save the file to your Javascript directory created in step 2. (Link)

For Safari on OS X:
1. Install SIMBL. (Link)
2. Install GreaseKit into SIMBL. (Link, instructions on the page)
3. Go to the script page, click on "Install this script" on the right. Click "Install" when GreaseKit pops up. (Link)

Example:


Known issues:
-The menus disappear behind some ads on the forums. This cannot be fixed. Either click out of the forums, or use an ad-blocker of some kind and donate to the site if it bothers you too much.
-The menus don't look anything like the old menus. This is because I am afraid to try and make the menus look pretty, because I suck at graphical design.

If there are any other bugs, let me know.

Interesting For Some:

Well, I think you've answered your own question. I have a suspicion why it's not working, I'll try to fix it by tomorrow.

I've tested this on FF 2.0.0.12 and nothing else. To be honest, I don't see me focusing on anything beyond FF 3.0 - 3.5 isn't close to being released.

I've updated the script to fix some rather large mistakes:

ver. 1.0.1
-Fixed CSS for YUI menus on www.scorehero.com (non-forums)
-Disabled YUI menus showing up on insert, delete and view all scores pages.

As the original beta tester, I'd like to say good job!

Also, everyone should use this

New version is up: I'm happy to report that my script will now work with Opera! Thanks to ajanata for both motivating me to add Opera support and helping out with the debugging.

You don't need to upgrade to the newest version if you're an FF user (there's a minor cosmetic fix for the rockband.scorehero.com site, but if it's *very* minor).

Short answer: Magic.

Long, technical answer: Yahoo has written a whole library of Javascript utilities which are basically awesome. One part of their library is the YUI Menu system, which uses Javascript to create the menus.

Greasemonkey and Opera can both execute Javascript after loading a page. My script implants the YUI API into the page (actually, this is someone else's script that I'm using), then creates the menus and places it on the page. There's also a lot of Frankensteining I have to do the page to get the menus to fit in the right place (cut out a table cell here, place it there, etc.).

Haha, for sure I know you've programmed it...


Too bad it's in java.

And btw, if you need webspace, I've got some. ;)
