Script Summary: Enlarges actor pictures and film posters in IMDB cast and actor/actress lists on hover.
**IMPORTANT UPDATE**:
This script is no longer updated. My new script, which can be found here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/117027 , is a much more comprehensive thumbnail image enlarger/expander for IMDB with a few configurable options.This script will continue to be present in USO but will not receive any new features/bug-fixes.
This was originally a small revision to an existing script that I was using. The old one stopped working with the new imdb design/layout. But now, I have added more features that I wanted and it has become significantly different from the one I used before.
This script is tested and is working with Google Chrome.
Also, if you use Flickr, check out my other userscript, FLUTE (FLickr Ultimate Thumbnail Expander).
Feature set:
-Shows a large (150x200 px) version of cast/poster in pages that show them. Currently, the following pages are supported:* Title list
* Full Credits list
* Name list
* Chart list
* Search Result
* Find list
* Galleries & MediaIndex pages
* Lists
-Highlights the current row under the mouse.
-Shows a link to Google Images next to a character name.
-Shows an enlarged view (max ~620px square) of images in the media strip under the movie poster. This now works in Names pages and Find pages also.
-Shows an enlarged preview of movie posters in the Recommendations section in title pages (Requested by Duri).
