Small Break From Eclipse

As I said, it's a very basic generic USB mouse which is natively working on every version of Windows but Windows 11. It's also working fine on Android tablets. I don't remember the brand and the model, it's not mine. But I was there when my friend tried it on Windows 11.

Same goes for a HP 4630 printer. You plug it on Windows 7-8-10 and no problem, it's automatically installed by the system, no need to install any driver at all. But NOT on Windows 11. Support dropped by Windows 11 and HP has no updated driver for it. They want you to send it to the bin and to buy a new one even though this printer is still working fine.

Here is a "before" and "after" of how I use a SHADOW to effect font readability.
The key is the ORANGE / BROWN pixels of this BLACK FONT.

How do you do that ?

Just how "generic" is that mouse? Does it have a "roller ball" on the bottom? Or a laser light reflecting off the table?

Printer does not surprise me at all! I've witnessed that with Win10 and "old" printers.

The mouse really does surprise me though. But anything is possible.
I'd stop calling it a "generic" mouse though, I'd call it a "cheap generic".

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name - Fonts - Apply Text Shadow
// @match *://*/*
// @version 2.17.1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

'use strict';

var isRunning;

    var AllElem=document.querySelectorAll(':not(script):not(style):not(area):not(base):not(br):not(col):not(embed):not(hr):not(img):not(input):not(keygen):not(link):not(meta):not(param):not(source):not(track):not(wbr):not(table):not(tbody):not(tr):not(ul)')
    for (var i=0;i<AllElem.length;i++) {
        for (var j=0;j<AllElem[i].childNodes.length;j++) { // cycle through element nodes
            if (AllElem[i].childNodes[j].nodeType===3 && AllElem[i].childNodes[j].textContent.trim().length>0) {// is it a text node?
                if (window.getComputedStyle(AllElem[i]).getPropertyValue('text-shadow')=='none'){ // do not run if text-shadow is already present
                    var Col=window.getComputedStyle(AllElem[i]).getPropertyValue('color').replace(/[^\d,.]/g,'').split(',') // text color array (R/G/B/A)

                    if (typeof(Col[3])=='undefined'||Col[3].split('.')[0]=='1') { // run if element does not have an alpha channel  already applied
                        var Lum=Math.round(0.2126*Col[0]+0.7152*Col[1]+0.0722*Col[2]) // luminosity
                        var Opa=parseFloat(255*(255-Lum)/65025).toFixed(1) // opacity between 0 and 1
                        if (Lum<128) Opa=1
                        AllElem[i].style.setProperty('text-shadow','0 0 0px rgba('+Col[0]+','+Col[1]+','+Col[2]+','+Opa+')','important') // set text shadow with alpha
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

function waitAndApplyFilter() {
    if (typeof(isRunning)!='undefined') clearTimeout(isRunning)
    isRunning=setTimeout(function(){applyFilter()},100)
}

const callback = (mutationList, observer) => { // called every time BODY has changed
    for (const mutation of mutationList) {
        if (mutation.type === "childList") waitAndApplyFilter()
    }
};

applyFilter();

const targetNode = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]
// Options for the observer (which mutations to observe)
const config = { attributes: false, childList: true, subtree: true };
// Create an observer instance linked to the callback function
const observer = new MutationObserver(callback);
// Start observing the target node for configured mutations
observer.observe(targetNode, config);

Again, it's NOT MINE. But it looks like a standard USB mouse you buy for 10 bucks at the supermarket. Yes it has a laser pointer. Left and right buttons and a wheel between them. Normal. GENERIC. Somehow 'classic', nothing fancy.
Maybe it's cheap but it's something which works on ANY DEVICE but Windows 11. ANY DEVICE. So when you use Windows 11 you must use an expensive mouse ?
Oh I forgot to say it's also working NATIVELY on Linux Mint.
