How can a Tampermonkey userscript disable a single setting of a site's CSS?


I've modified a script I found online to get the formatting I like, but the CSS in Gmail is messing up how it is displayed.

Using Chrome I discovered that I can toggle max-width and it corrects to display, but I'm not smart enough to find out how to input that into this script.

How can I have the script disable max-width for the .xW class?

Original Script Source

My modified script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Gmail - show FORMATTED full date and time in mail list
// @description Just show the full date and time on the list instead of only short date. Useful if you need to create a report and you base on your activity and it's timing. Or when you look at mails and want to find one visually by looking on times.
// @include     https://mail.google.com/mail/*
// @version 0.0.1.20180924133221
// @namespace https://greasyfork.org/users/153157
// ==/UserScript==

var formatDate = function(dateString) {
  var dateTime = new Date(dateString);
  return dateTime.toLocaleString();
};

(function() {
  window.setInterval(function() {
    var date_titles_main = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("xW xY"));
    var date_titles_thread = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("g3"));
    date_titles_main.forEach(function(element, index, array) {
      var elements = element.childNodes;
      var title = elements.length > 0 ? elements[0].title : false;
      if (title) {
        title = formatDate(title);
      }
      if (title && elements[0].innerHTML != title) { elements[0].innerHTML = title; }
    });
    date_titles_thread.forEach(function(element, index, array) {
      if (element.title && element.innerHTML != element.title) { element.innerHTML = formatDate(element.title); }
    });
    Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("xX")).forEach(function(element, index, array) {
      element.style.width = '80ex';
    });
  }, 2000);
})();

Solution

  • You would use the CSS unset value.

    Also note:

    Here is the modified script (untested because I rarely use Gmail):

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name        Gmail - show FORMATTED full date and time in mail list
    // @description Just show the full date and time on the list instead of only short date. Useful if you need to create a report and you base on your activity and it's timing. Or when you look at mails and want to find one visually by looking on times.
    // @include     https://mail.google.com/mail/*
    // @version     0.1.0.20181023
    // @namespace   https://greasyfork.org/users/153157
    // @grant       GM_addStyle
    // ==/UserScript==
    
    var formatDate = function (dateString) {
        var dateTime = new Date (dateString);
        return dateTime.toLocaleString ();
    };
    
    window.setInterval (function () {
        var date_titles_main = Array.from (document.getElementsByClassName ("xW xY"));
        var date_titles_thread = Array.from (document.getElementsByClassName ("g3"));
        date_titles_main.forEach (function (element, index, array) {
            var elements = element.childNodes;
            var title = elements.length > 0 ? elements[0].title : false;
            if (title) {
                title = formatDate (title);
            }
            if (title && elements[0].innerHTML != title) { elements[0].innerHTML = title; }
        } );
        date_titles_thread.forEach (function (element, index, array) {
            if (element.title && element.innerHTML != element.title) { element.innerHTML = formatDate (element.title); }
        } );
    }, 2000);
    
    GM_addStyle ( `
        .xX { width: 80ex !important; }
        .xW { max-width: unset !important; }
    ` );
