This script completely customizes the classic Google homepage. You must fill in the first 3 lines of the script with the specified information for the script to work. See discussions and especially archived comments for complete details. It replaces every place on Google that says Google with your name. Also it replaces the "I'm feeling lucky" text, the G in the Gmail link to your first initial, and a few other things. I will update this script whenever the layout changes on Google, so check back regularly.
**UPDATE NOTES**
NEW! Added ability to redirect links from the Google page. To do this just edit the line below where you enter your picture location. First, you must delete the 2 slashes at the beginning of the line. Change the [4] in square brackets to 0 for the images link, to 1 for maps link, 2 for new, 3 for shopping, leave it as 4 for Gmail, and so on. Then you must change the yahoo.com link to whatever you want. This line can be copied and used multiple times to change many links
NEW! This script now edits the google image search page! I will try to add support for other google pages in my spare time! Stay tuned
NOTE: You can get the swedish version of this script here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/28351 This works with www.google.se
SOLVED! Solved an random issue that sometimes caused links to not change names and solved an issue that caused a meaningless error that didn't affect anything, but kind of annoyed me.
SOLVED!June 22 Solved an issue that just appeared a minute ago that messed up the About _____ Feature
SOLVED!June 24 Solved a common issue that caused the script to crash, this was the result of a layout change in the google page, I just had to re-arrange the order of things in the script.
SOLVED!July 4 Google changed a little bit of the layout, I just added a few lines of code that account for this yet the script still remains backwards-compatible for if they change it back
SOLVED!July14 Fixed an issue on the google image search page that caused the ©2008 Google text to not change
SOLVED!August 18 Fixed another issue caused by the Olympics and Presidential Candidate Google Read messages that cause some features not to change, maintained backwards compatibility
SOLVED!August 19 Fixed a slight programming error that shouldn't have done anything but caused a weird fatal error. I am a native c type language programmer (mainly c++) so maybe it's something I haven't heard about, but it's fixed
NEWS! I found this cool site that will help you easily create the image for your name, its called googlefont.com Just type your name in, grab the file, and follow the instructions I wrote down below in the third archived comment from the bottom. Again I strongly advise that you read the other archived comments and topics as well to use this script to its full potential.
