This is a simple script that enables the use of custom stylesheets (similar to the Stylish extension for Firefox).

• All custom stylesheets should be in a single folder.
• For every web site for which you want to have a custom stylesheet, you put it in that folder.
• Every custom stylesheet must be named web_address.css (e.g. www.reddit.com.css)
• If you want to use the script, you should add it to the commit_handler, example..

@on_event   LOAD_COMMIT    spawn @scripts_dir/change_style.sh

• To use custom stylesheets from userstyles.org one should first remove the leading

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("webaddress.com") {

and the tailing

 } 

• If you use styles that have dark backgrounds, and want to avoid flashes of white between pages create an about:blank.css with the following (change color as desired)

* {
background: #262626 !important;
}

#/bin/bash

XDG_DATA_HOME=${XDG_DATA_HOME:-"$HOME/.local/share/"}
 
# Set the path to the .css files
# Every custom css style must be in a file named web_address.css
# e.g. reddit.com.css
STYLE_PATH=$XDG_DATA_HOME/uzbl/userstyles
 
STYLESHEET_SET=0
 
for i in $STYLE_PATH/*.css; do
    stylesheet=$(basename $i '.css')
    if [[ "$UZBL_URI" =~ "${stylesheet}" ]]; then
        echo "set stylesheet_uri = file://${STYLE_PATH}/${stylesheet}.css" > "$UZBL_FIFO"
        STYLESHEET_SET=1
        break
    fi
done
 
if [ $STYLESHEET_SET -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "set stylesheet_uri = file://${STYLE_PATH}/default.css" > "$UZBL_FIFO"
fi
 
exit 0

Instead of extenal script one can use setting in uzbl config file, e.g.:

set conf.d = $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uzbl
@on_event LOAD_COMMIT set stylesheet_uri = file://@conf.d/css/\@(s=\@<location.host>\@.css; [ -e @conf.d/css/$s ] || s=default.css; echo $s)\@

in this example styles are located in ./css under uzbl config path
