UPDATE: Due to changes in the Kynetx API and in the userstyles.org design, this browser app is currently not working anymore.

Inspired from the popular Stylish extension, Restyler allows users to change the skin of their favorite websites like Facebook or Google. Restyler is compatible with userstyles.org so that you can install any style you may find there with Restyler.

Features:

1. Comes with two preconfigured styles for Facebook and Google
2. One click install on new styles from userstyles.org
3. Manage multiple styles for every website
4. Styles can have slideshows which allows to randomly show a background image every time the page is refreshed or stay on your favorite image
5. Restyler can be installed on Firefox and Chrome. IE extension is on the way (for now it only works on IE8 using bookmarklets)

 

Restyler is based on Kynetx technology that allows to distribute kynetx browser apps via extensions or bookmarklets on any major browser. With Kynetx, developpers write their program once and deploy the same code on all browsers.
This will dramatically speed up development and maintenance so expect new features in Restyler soon !

 

What is Restyler made off?

• wonderful jquery with some plugins : fancybox , easydrag , busy
• Kynetx KRL event driven server-side language

Future plans:
