Ok, let me explain the situation. 🙂
Basically, I have a friend that uses firefox. She can only read things in ALL CAPS.
Yes, it looks like she’s shouting, but the members deal with it. Cuz she’s cool like that.
But not many people type in all caps, so she has to copy everything to a document, and a program she has converts it all to caps.
My question: Is it possible to get firefox to show everything in caps?
(Let me know if you need more information)January 17, 2008 at 8:34 pm #166192TigerbladeParticipantIt’s possible there might be a greasemonkey add-on to do so, but… I can’t imagine that someone has written that. More often it’s a program to do the exact opposite.
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you mean by “can only read things in all caps”? Meaning she has a physical/mental condition that prohibits her from reading in lowercase?
January 17, 2008 at 8:37 pm #166193Soccer4dummysMemberI’m not entirely sure… but I do know that she taught herself to read capital letters. Which is amazing… for an adult.
February 14, 2008 at 9:24 am #166190imported_EvilSephMemberIf this is still needed (or for anyone searching), this could be possible using UserStyles or UserCSS and the text-transform CSS property.
February 14, 2008 at 6:54 pm #166194Soccer4dummysMemberYa, it’s still needed.
But I have no idea what you just said. O.o
February 14, 2008 at 9:04 pm #166186DavidParticipantAll you need to do is create a file called userContent.css and put this inside it:
body{text-transform: uppercase;}
Then save it in the correct place.

Thanks bunches!
I’ll try it out and see how it goes. 🙂February 14, 2008 at 9:25 pm #166191imported_EvilSephMemberWell, if you’re using firefox, I suggest using an add-on/extension called Stylish.
Instructions:
- Download Stylish and install it.
- Once installed, you’ll have to restart firefox, so please do so.
- When firefox has restarted successfully, look for an icon that looks like this at the bottom of your statusbar/browser window:
- Click on Write Style -> Blank Style
- Under description, I’d call it: ALL TEXT UPPERCASE
- Then, in the second text area, place the following code in there:
Code:body {
text-transform: uppercase !important;
} - Click save.
- Click the and go to Global Styles -> ALL TEXT UPPERCASE
This should work for most sites, but might require special tweaking for certain ones. Let me know and I’ll see if I can work it out. Using the Stylish extension allows for easy disabling, enabling and management of userstyles. I’d recommend it over using just firefox’s stock userstyles feature.
Hope this helps. Tell your friend that she’s an amazing individual for accomplishing such a feat.
Edit: Dave, !important is needed or your user style won’t take precedent.

[/quote]I figured I’d use the standard route, since I’m not a fan of extensions in already-slow software.

April 2, 2008 at 3:49 am #166196Soccer4dummysMemberSo… will it, or won’t it work?
I’m confused.
April 2, 2008 at 3:52 am #166188DavidParticipantBoth ways work fine, mine uses the built-in support for styles in Firefox, EvilSeph’s route installs a plug-in and adds extra menu’s and the ability to create styles for other things. They accomplish the same task.
April 2, 2008 at 3:54 am #166197Soccer4dummysMemberAlright, so what does this mean:
@EvilSeph 226583Dave, !important is needed or your user style won’t take precedent.
?
April 2, 2008 at 4:13 pm #166189DavidParticipantYou can add the !important directive to the line, it will force the style to take precedent to a page where there is already a text-transform applied–however it’s not commonplace to use text-transform, so it is unlikely it would be a problem very often, if it is there, it might be for some reason other than readability, thus I left it out. Feel free to add it if you wish.
