adding in-line photo/video back into Twipster.

Twipster is one of my favorite Chrome extensions. i really enjoy the minimal, no-bullshit layout that strips out the most annoying and disagreeable parts of the default twitter interface, but i found myself missing the inline photo/video content from the people i follow. yes, you can click a tweet to expand it and show the content, but rather than add that extra step in, i'd rather just see the preview inline. adding it back in is rather simple, finding the proper file to edit proved a little tricky.

  • in Chrome, go to Window > Extentions
  • up in the top right, check the box for Developer Mode
  • scroll down to Twipster, and make note of the ID that now appears alongside the extension info. mine looks like this.
  • to find the Twipster .css file, there's a maze of folders that will lead you to a directory with several folders in it, all with names of incoherent gibberish. these are the IDs for your Chrome extensions. the tree should look something similar to this (you may or may not have the "Profile 1" folder). find the folder that corresponds to your Twipster extension ID, and in there you will find the .css file.
  • replace the .css code with this code instead (or just comment out the 'Hide inline media' section. simple enough)
  • save the .css file, give it a minute (and perhaps restart Chrome), and you should be good to go.
