Hi all,

Since GOG doesn't seem interested in fixing the most pressing issues with their new design in a reasonable timeframe, I've created some CSS overrides with a hint of JavaScript. Just copy-paste the scripts from the link below into your favourite injector to use. For Chrome, you can find a suitable extension by searching for "chrome user javascript and css".

Disclaimer: It has only been tested with Google Chrome desktop with reasonable resolution. It was only meant to make my life easier, prevent endless hovers and relieve arthritis symptoms in my scrolling finger. Your mileage may vary, I hope somebody finds it useful.

Features:
- Change store to show list view
- No more annoying hover videos/slideshows
- Reduce size of giant carousel on front page
- Move news section to top of front page
- Show all news items on front page at once
- Reduce size of header image on game store page
- Make screenshot pagination buttons easier to click
- Move "buy series" and "you may like these products" sections to the bottom (below reviews) on game page
- Reduce size of price card on game page
- Restore line-breaks in game reviews. No more walls of text!

This is lovely! While it should be easy to implement in Firefox too, I'm wondering how to inject it onto Galaxy, as its broeser is yet anther Chromium wrapper. Would be nice if I implemented this on all fronts.

Cool! Nice to see that awesome people from the community keep fixing GOG's screw-ups!

It's like GOG is turning into the website equivalent of Bethesda.

WTF list view is back, and all news visible without slider. Nice!
Works also on firefox extension "Custom Style Script"

Minor update: made the expanded news section smaller and added a header for the highlights.

Man, the Force is really with you !
You're my hero. Thx.

Just tried it on Firefox with the Stylus add-on and it works like a charm. :)

Thank you very much, much needed and appreciated improvements.

If you're taking any requests, I'd like to ask for two things:
1. Push reviews above the "Buy series" section.
2. Make the whole (white) box of price+card-button+wishlist link smaller.

Updated. Moved reviews up and made the price card less intrusive.

Update: Restored line-breaks in game reviews. No more walls of text!

Sterling work - thank you :)

Thank you .

edit: Is it possible to hide already owned games from the promo page ?
edit2 : and remove the banners from the top

WOW! I'm forever grateful! I've been meaning to do this myself but my growing hatred for this website and my limited free time worked against me, I'm in your debt!

Again, thank you!

Don't take this the wrong way, it's awesome what you are doing, but I don't think you should be compensating for GOGs terrible failings. People have in many other ways over the years too, but for GOG to get their heads out of their asses the users shouldn't be doing their work for them.

GOG isn't Valve, GOG isn't even Ubisoft or EA. They need to fucking listen to their customers properly to stay in business. Realistically there isn't a ton of reasons to shop here. It seldom has the best prices, it doesn't have the best selection, GOGs curation criteria can be psychotic, it doesn't see the best support from various parties, etc. The only real "perk", at the moment is the "DRM-free" games themselves... which for some titles and developers isn't even a GOG exclusive thing.

Other companies can get away with being deaf to the customers pretty easily... you can't pack up and leave them without losing something. This platform though? You can pick up, archive your stuff, and leave quite easily. Valve, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, etc. get away with hamfisted moves via having your library held hostage to their services. That said all of them have better web design than this. Simply using galaxy in windowed mode breaks the formatting of this javascript abomination.
