While Urban Dead does a good job of supplying the player with all of their basic requirements to play the game, the interface leaves something to be desired. However, there is a solution. Thanks to the miracle of [http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey] for Firefox (and now [http://8-p.info/greasekit/ GreaseKit] for Safari and [http://greasemetal.31tools.com/ Greasemetal] for Chrome), the players can take control of their own interfaces, making them look however they want and adding plenty of extra functionality to boot. If you need help installing or setting up Greasemonkey/Kit/Metal, I'm not the guy to ask. Once you get it installed though, you should be able to just click on the '''Install''' links I provide below to start using the scripts. | While Urban Dead does a good job of supplying the player with all of their basic requirements to play the game, the interface leaves something to be desired.

I have begun editing and creating a variety of userscripts to replicate the functionality of some of the Firefox extensions I've seen. Most of them are just minor aesthetic changes, but several of them greatly enhance the look and feel of the game to such an extent that it is hard to go back after having used them. I claim no credit for the work done on the modified releases by their original authors. I've also generally been lazy with updating the comments at the top of the code in them, so most of them don't have me listed as a contributor or have the changes I made listed. | I have begun editing and creating a variety of userscripts to replicate the functionality of some of the Firefox extensions I've seen.

It borrows code from a few extensions and userscripts, though I'll probably rewrite it with entirely original code at some point. | |colspan=3|Displays an estimate (accurate to within 30 minutes) of when your AP will be fully recovered.

Intro and supportWhile Urban Dead does a good job of supplying the player with all of their basic requirements to play the game, the interface leaves something to be desired. However, there is a solution. Thanks to the miracle of Greasemonkey for Firefox (and now GreaseKit for Safari and Greasemetal for Chrome), the players can take control of their own interfaces, making them look however they want and adding plenty of extra functionality to boot. If you need help installing or setting up Greasemonkey/Kit/Metal, I'm not the guy to ask. Once you get it installed though, you should be able to just click on the Install links I provide below to start using the scripts. If you like my scripts and find that you're using them, I highly suggest clicking the watch link at the top of the page, then periodically checking your Watchlist for any changes to this page. If a script you like has been updated, just click the Install link for it again, and you should get the new version of it automatically. I have tested these scripts exclusively in Safari for Mac using GreaseKit. They should all work in Greasemonkey.
