* Embiggening of the chat text

This must be a technical term.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

-The theme and large text makes it look really cluttered IMO.
-Left align can't be turned off.
-If you disable the header and have deadcode tools you get the leaderboard / tournaments / forum / membership etc banner twice at the top.
-If you click flag by hovering over a player vs clicking it on the flag icons the text is different. ie Flag Yellow vs Flag yellow. (Very trivial just giving feedback)

I'd much rather have the smaller text + center align.

sounds promising!

I installed it and it says installed. I tried a few settings but I can't get it to work (yet). I'm guessing it should work on any chrome/windows version?

Will this be easily adaptable to firefox since I play my main account on FF

I'll try on another computer tomorrow.

Thrill
>> I need to work on splitting the theme stuff out a bit more and wrapping them in their options properly -- good points.
>> need to put that menu thing inside the header theme code too

>> Been debating on which standard to use for the text: Flag Yellow, flag yellow or Flag yellow

Good points - thanks

Jurg -- All of the code is pretty cross browser compatible, outside of the options storage. If nothing else i can pull the bits out into a userscript that you can install in firefox

I'll have some fixes in and pushed through out the weekend -- Thanks for trying it out!

Oh, and Jurgen, make sure the option "Activate Okdice" is checked, that toggles everything on and off
