Google: bg img w/see-thru nav bar

Added by mod_wastrel@userstyles, Created: Jun 07, 2010, Updated: Apr 16, 2011

Description:

When Google implemented the background image for their main search page, I changed my "kill the fade-in" style to this--still kills the fade-in (for the nav bar, and now the background image, too), plus it shows the image under the nav bar :D. I also hide all the links I never use. The links I might use I hide till I hover them. So, mostly just the background image (except for the huge-a$$ search box and buttons).

(I've been so specific with the hiding of links as I have because Google periodically displays transitory messages and links of interest, usually somewhere below the search box/buttons... wouldn't want to miss those! :D However!... if you really want to turn the lights down low, then take a look at my newer http://freestyler.ws/style/26198/google-bg-img-nite-lite style.)
