Description:
This asks you for a natural color word (like "red" or "blue") and then changes the background color of whichever webpage you are viewing to the color you specify.
Note: If the page has a background image then it will obscure the background color, so the change may not be apparent.

Description:
This changes the background color of a webpage to white. It's like the bookmarklet above, except you don't have to specify the color (it's automatically white). Useful if you have to read a large number of text pages on grey backgrounds.

   Bookmarklet: Zoom on First Image... In Standard Module? - Yes
Description:
Asks for a magnification factor, then loads the window with a magnified version of the first image on the webpage. Use it with decimal factors to shrink the image (e.g. - Magnify by 0.5 to shrink by half.)
Tip: Any image on a page can be made into a first image; point mouse at image, hold down (right) button, and choose "Open this Image".

E4    Bookmarklets:
      Hide All Images (Explorer version)
      Hide 468 x 60 Banners (Explorer version)
In Standard Module? - No
Description:
These hide images on the page (makes them invisible - after they've loaded). The first hides all images. The second hides images that are 468 pixels wide by 60 high (a popular size for those sometimes-irritating animated banners). This page doesn't have a banner on it; keep the second bookmarklet and test it on one of the bigger sites. Refresh the page to restore images.

Description:
Similar to the bookmarklet above, these hide images by substituting nonexistent images in their place. Note: In order to see these work, you may need to force a repaint by opening a new window over this one, or by scrolling the image in and out of view. Reload the page to restore images.

N4    Bookmarklet: Split Frames into Windows In Standard Module? - No
Description:
Breaks up a framed document into a number of new windows having the same sizes as the frames. It's like using "New Window with this Frame" on all frames, except the new windows are the same sizes as the frames they come from. This makes it easier to configure relationships between the documents in the frames. This page isn't framed, so we've set up a seperate test page (use the browser back button to return here).

Description:
Turns off link underlining for a page. Makes a page full of links look cleaner and easier to read. Select the bookmarklet a second time to bring back the underlines. Note: it may take a few seconds to remove all underlines.

Description:
