Use BetterGaia? Update to 0.2.2.12 below, with a few new features, too.

[Add and update link is the the image right below this text.]





(Download link is at the top of post.)

BetterGaia is a Firefox addon that redesigns Gaia Online's website.

It's a different kind of addon for Gaia. It doesn't add clumsy toolbars, excessive buttons, or unattractive features. BetterGaia changes how Gaia looks. A simple change like redesigning Gaia's layout does sounds small, but alltogether it makes a big impact.

Join users just like you that now experience Gaia in a whole new perspective. Do everyday tasks on Gaia more quickly and efficiently than before, with redesigned forums, improved site UI, and pages that just work better.

That’s not all. As this is beta, any great ideas brought up will be implemented.

BetterGaia works perfectly with other addons for Gaia. So you can also use your favorite addon with BetterGaia.

Need support, help, or just anything in particular, you can contact us in this thread.

Please, if you use any of our images, please upload it yourself. It helps us save bandwidth for the images.

BetterGaia â–º Change the way you experience Gaia.

F.A.Q

â–¶ How do I get to the Options Panel?
On the Firefox menu, click on Tools, then BetterGaia, then finally click on Open Options Panel.

â–¶ How do I change the ____________? I saw the setting for it above.
You should be able to find it in the Options Panel. See How do I get to the Options Panel? above in this FAQ if you do not know how to get to it.

â–¶ I think I found a bug in BetterGaia. How do I report it?
In the official thread (You're reading it right now), post a reply with the problem and a screen shot.

â–¶ Is BetterGaia safe? This isn't going to steal my password|hack my account|spam my friends, is it?
BetterGaia does not collect any personal information from you, hack your account, etc. If you suspect your account to have been hacked, report it immediately! You can submit a hacking report to Gaia here.

You can consider BetterGaia as a safety net as BetterGaia does not render on phishing sites that look similar to Gaia Online.

â–¶ Firefox just crashed and when the Mozilla Reporter pops up, and in the details of the crash, BetterGaia is in it! Is BetterGaia the reason why Firefox crashes?
No. The crash report contains a list of enabled addons before Firefox crashed, and since the letter B is the 2nd letter in the alphabet, it's one of the first to show up.

â–¶ Sometimes I see the page flicker from the default style to BetterGaia style. Is there any way to not let this happen?
Yes. You need to update to a version of BetterGaia that is 0.2 or higher.

â–¶ The Guild Forums are not the same as the Main Forums. Shouldn't it be the same?
Because of the number of guilds, and each forum varies from Guild to Guild, they cannot be styled.

â–¶ Is this against Gaia's Terms of Service?
BetterGaia does not change Gaia's site. It changes the way how Firefox renders certain pages, and is not available with other browsers.

â–¶ How is BetterGaia version numbered?
0. 2. 2. 2.
Ultra major changes, features, and fixes.
Major new features, fixes.
New features, fixes.
Bug fixes.

Thank You for Using BetterGaia.

The download doesn't work for me at all xd

If I could recommend something, I'd put the forums back the way they were, namely, bringing our purple userbars above the avatar back. Possible?

[ Poltergeist Parade ]

I gotta say, im pretty impressed by the tiny screenshots, things like simple daily chance and a decent forum view definitely appeal to me!

Thing is i'm kinda lazy.. and can't be bothered to sign up to mozilla add-ons to use it (as it's still in the experimental thread).. I might though depending on a little thing, will it work automatically or will i get a whole new bar on my internet browser? I hate wasted space and add-on that create another bar for one button bother me =3= Also would it be possible to disable changes i didn't want?
 
     
Since so many people keep pming me about it >3< This is where I get my free clothes and games from, oh and you can also get gaia cash ect: http://traceurl.com/go/792/prizerebel The site explains everything, enjoy!

@ Poltergeist Parade:
There isn't a toolbar that wastes space. It only modifies the site. Once you install, you just start using it. Disabling some parts could come in a later version.

@ Djubre:
I could, but it needs some new coding. I'll keep something like it in mind.

(Fast-forward to today: 3 months later, we added userbars, and seven months later, we added settings.)

@ SuicidaL_RaGe:
Thanks.

Hm...
I might actually register with Firefox to download this now instead of waiting until its public.

But is this actually allowed?
It won't get anyone in trouble, will it?
I dunno, I just always felt weird with things like this.
I even remember feeling uneasy about that add-on going around a while ago to change those damn Island people in one of the older Gaia Layouts.

I have to say I like how everything looks, but would it be possible to release it as stylish/greasemonkey scripts or is there something going on that requires it to be an addon of its own?

edit: Also, put the go there link after posting back if you can, please. Otherwise, it's very nice.

But those add-ons really don't change the layout of Gaia.
I just wanted to be 100% sure.
I know things like the Tektek toolbar add buttons to the site, but they don't rearrange the layout of anything.

I did, just download it, however, and I must say that I love how the navigation bar looks.
But the shortcuts bar layers behind the map and doesn't really show at all on the computer I'm using, which is normally set in a 800x600 screen resolution. Even scrolling horizontally doesn't show it.
The name and logout link shows fine though.

Edit: Beautiful forums. They're gonna take a while to get used to. I'm used to the plain white-ness I saw every day for the past year or so.
 
     

I dunno, Gaia. Lanzer looks pretty sexy right now.

I like it, but can we change the background?
The design kind of gives me weird stares.
