Being a huge fan of Flickr<\/a>, I am always trying to bring more people to the service.\u00a0 Because more people = more images and more comments, which, of course, means more fun and inspiration.<\/p>\n

One of the most frequent reasons NOT<\/strong> to use Flickr that I’ve heard coming mostly from amateur and professional photographers was that Flickr is only available with white background and only with up to medium-sized images.\u00a0 That is true.\u00a0 While Flick is constantly improving their service, some features are still not there.\u00a0 And maybe they are not coming any time soon.\u00a0 But.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean that there is no work around.\u00a0 After all, the world of technology is blessed with plenty of excellent open source software these days.\u00a0 So, here is how you can solve the problem of size and color, if you are one of those people who prefers it the other way around.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get yourself a copy of an real web browser – Firefox<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Install Greasemonkey<\/a> extension for Firefox.<\/li>\n
  3. Install Flickr On Black<\/a> user script for Greasemonkey.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you’ve done the above steps, go to Flickr and find a picture that you want to enjoy on black or in a different color.\u00a0 On the image page, scroll down to the part where you can see “Additional information<\/em>” on the right side.\u00a0 Among them, you’ll see a few new links.\u00a0 “View on black: Regular, Large<\/em>” will be among them.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Click, and you are done.\u00a0 The link will take you to another page, which will look something like this<\/a>.\u00a0 You can switch between Regular and Large size, as well as between black and white backgrounds right on that page.<\/p>\n

    P.S.:<\/strong> While you are getting Flickr on Black user script for Greasemonkey, look around.\u00a0 There are thousands of other scripts to customize anything and everthing from Google search results and GMail to IMDB movie information and Twitter messeging.<\/p>\n

    P.P.S.:<\/strong> Alternatively, you can take a look at Flickr “Lights Out”<\/a> or “Flickr in mostly black and orange<\/a>” user scripts for Greasemonkey.<\/p>\n

    P.P.P.S:<\/strong> Many Greasemonkey scripts work perfectly in browsers other than Firefox – Opera, Safari, etc.\u00a0 But I’d still recommend to use Firefox.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
