    Hey guys,
    I created a quick script up for myself which I wasn't going to share but just thought why not somebody may like it. Basically all it does is replace backgrounds with the slightly darker jail background which personally I find much more pleasing on the eye. It can easily be modified to set any background you please though.

    works on Firefox using greasemonkey, but can't see why it wouldn't work in anything with a tiny bit of modification.

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name Change background
    // @namespace SeikShadow
    // @description Changes Torn background
    // @include *torn.com/*
    // @version 1
    // @grant none
    // ==/UserScript==

    $('body').css('background-image', 'url("/images/v2/main/bg_jail.jpg")');




    Script was changed to show Yaz's version because simpler is better and I overcomplicated it haha

    Can confirm works on Chrome with Tampermonkey

    Edit: You know you don't need the ?v= on the end?
    Edit 2: It appears to sometimes fail - when it's a little slow

    well unless I'm having a slow moment that uses a cached version which most people will have. I doubt it makes much difference either way really so it can be removed if wanted.

    This should be an option in preferences. The ability to change the background color.

    How come you use the jail background image? Why not specify a colour or a custom image? The jail colour is really ugly!

    If you really want something different I'd be more than happy to quickly make something up for ya :) but as I said it was just a personal change and I didn't feel the need to make a suggestion about it as i doubt it'd get near to 100 likes

    It'll get cached on the first load anyway
    Its more to do with the page load event

    Not to be a hijacking bitch or anything but you can choose your own color and all you need is this:

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name Change background
    // @namespace SeikShadow
    // @description Changes Torn background
    // @include *torn.com/*
    // @version 1
    // @grant none
    // ==/UserScript==

    $("body").css("background", "rgba(152,152,152,0.9)");

    That new one seems to work fine :D
    One small tweak I made was @include *.torn.com/* cause I don't want it to glom over other URLs with "torn" at the end.

    PS Thanks for making me read the forums and post and refresh and stuff:

    I like this idea

    Thanks for the Script Mr_Red and PsycWard's Color Extra

    :)

    Edit::

    this is nice http://prntscr.com/6vm5as

    would be great if you could script the flying page like this

    not everything has to be GRAY

    Maybe they think it's an illegal script?
    I don't see why it would be illegal though, I don't see this script giving you any advantage on the game, it just changes colours to be more easy on the eye.

    Ohmigawsh. I love you.

    Recently got a new 4k monitor. The gray space on torn is so freaking bright and takes up a good 60% of the page.

    Thank you sooooo much!
