You may have already seen my announcements in my diary (1, 2, 3), but just in case, I’ll show you what this script can do:

Big appreciation from my side I’m using your script some weeks now and don’t want to miss it! Thank you

Wow, looks like some really useful features. I have to see how this changes my workflow.

I have one question about settings. How to enable/disable the dark mode of the map? Using Firefox on Linux with Violentmonkey, I do not find the settings. Probably I am just too dumb or blind. Would someone please point me to the script settings, please. Thanks a lot.

Never mind I found them. The script was working without the need to enable it manually, but the settings were disabled.

This is strange… By default, the script should not change the dark theme in any way.

Just in case, I’ll add screenshots of where to find the settings:

Thanks for making this - I’ve been using it for about a month, and I’m really grateful! I find the changeset diff features very useful.

6

Apparently, it did. E.g. all the extra buttons and highlighted changes in CSs and object history tabs were present but the settings were missing. Though, I cannot reproduce it anymore.

Anyway, it is working now and I use it a lot. Many thanks,

This is an incredible script. It also shows that OSM website could be much, much better.

Thank you for this awesome job, @TrickyFoxy!

upd: Workability restored in 0.5.7 (only new icons in changesets don’t work). Please update.

:warning: Consider this all a beta version, because this update is an emergency one, but in general, you can already use it. Go:

  • Shift+click for revert via JOSM. And clickable IDs in comments:

  • New hotkeys:
    • shift + L — go to your location
    • shift + N — create new note (if some object was opened, his link wound prefilled in note text)

p. s. Good night :slight_smile:

For update: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deevroman/better-osm-org/master/better-osm-org.user.js

Outdated:

Two news:

  • On OSM.org there are more POI icons now :tada:
  • This update broke QuickLook for changesets, so I’ll try to update the script ASAP.

The dark theme has an unpleasant bug that when you open iD you can see a white screen. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to fix this using just a script. Ideally, this should be fixed by the osm.org developers Dark Mode bugs/improvements for the UI · Issue #5329 · openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website · GitHub

And one more thing. I am a fan of extensions and besides my script I use several more:

Found this today and so far i like the changes you are able to do with your script. Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:
EDIT: But, there is no licence, or did i miss the file?

12

WTFPL. A userscript is usually one file, so the license is indicated directly in it better-osm-org/better-osm-org.user.js at 35884c2848731e0ba0ded3c528f8295b2eaa52af · deevroman/better-osm-org · GitHub

p.s. If you used color inversion using a script, then update to version 0.5.8

p.p.s By the way, clicking on the avatar now opens your changesets!

Hi, thanks for the script.

Two issues:

  • HDYC integration on profile is NOT working on my laptop (FF, Win11).
    Error message: “Please disable tracking protection so that the HDYC account login works”

  • Resize-handle for the seach-box only was working for some time, now disappeared

15

@chris66 Did you follow the error message and disable all tracking protections?
e.g. Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection, uBlock, AdBlock Plus, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, CSP Blocker, or similar.

No, of course not… :wink:

17

Just in case: you only need to disable Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection. Surprisingly, on osm.org there are analytics scripts (matomo.js), which blocks uBlock

18

In general, it is used for sidebar when you open the history of an object or changeset. The fact that it works for search-box is a side effect :slight_smile:

Ideally, I need to do it like in iD, so that the corner is not displayed, but you can drag the sidebar edge

Where is fixme highlighted ?
