I've installed this to use with googlechrome so that I can use some better themes in gmail. After installing it creates an empty folder called 'userjs' in My Documents. It says quite plainly that I need to add a script to this folder.

My question to you is how?

I've got the script here:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7646

When I click install it gives me the script:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/7646.user.js

But then how do I install it to the userjs folder? Do I save the page or something? Or do I put it in a text document?

I suggest you read up on what Greasemonkey actually is ... and then what a Javascript file is. It will help you :-)

In fact, I don't think you can even use that moneky script with greasemetal (not every script at userscripts is compatible). These links may be of interest:

Install the script via monkey in Firefox and it should work.

Thanks for the advice - I'm aware of Greasemonkey and I've used it for years. I'm also aware of what a javascript is. However there doesn't seem to be any communication between greasemetal and Google Chrome. I've since given up as I didn't want greasemetal to be another program running in the background. I much prefer Firefox personally but it doesn't work very well on my work PC. Kind of needs a fresh install of windows, but I really can't be arsed.

Bottom line is that it's not compatible with Chrome (not many g/m scripts are).

You tried a fresh install of Firefox?

Might be worth grabbing a free app called Revo Uninstaller - forcibly removing Firefox & all associated reg keys using it, and then reinstalling.

Greasemetal is specifically created for Google Chrome.

It is the same as greasemonkey is created for firefox.

My system is just generally ****e, I'm leaving soon and will take great pleasure of thinking of the unlucky sod who has to sort it all out
