How to combine 2 user scripts or the best of both worlds

Is there any way I can combine the awesome design from the user script "Toodledoish Plus 2 (http://userstyles.org/styles/26021)" with the right side tabs from "Things Style++ With Right Side Tabs (http://userstyles.org/styles/41149)" for the Opera browser?

I don't know how to program, so how would I go about this? Any suggestions?

I'm working on one for you.

I'll upload to UserStyles.org when it's ready and I'll post a link here.

Thanks earnjam! You just did that for me? If so, thanks a bunch. Is there any tool idiots like me can use to change to coloring, the positions of the elements without any detailed programing knowledge similar to Dragonfly or Firebug?

I manage to customize the CSS of my email service (Fasmtail) using and adding some JS bits from the Wiki: http://wiki.fastmail.fm/index.php?title=NewInterfaceCSS and http://wiki.fastmail.fm/index.php?title=NewInterfaceJS

It takes me a while and probably 10 times longer than someone like you with insane programing skills, but somehow I always manage ;-)

One small thing I realized is that when you add a task the top bar covers the text field, at least in Opera (see screenshot here: http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/945/28122010230838.png). Any way to fix this?

Yep, same in Chrome. Also, when there are just a few tasks, the left-hand-side TOC steps out into the task area (which I think was a problem with the original script).

I updated it to fix the problem with the AddTask form.

What are you talking about with the TOC stepping into the task area? I haven't seen that. Can you post a screenshot?

As far as tools for changing coloring and positioning, the only thing I use is Firebug (or the built-in Chrome inspector) and a text editor. CSS really isn't too tough to learn.

W3 Schools has a solid tutorial for you to get the basics with samples and test areas (http://www.w3schools.com/css/). I often used that website as a reference when I was first learning CSS, and still do for other languages.

Once you learn some CSS, you can get the basics for building a UserStyle from here: http://userstyles.org/help/coding

@earnjam:

Here is a screenshot:

Note also the 'View by' active view colour.

For some reason the User script doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm using Opera 11. Anyone know what could be causing this behavior? I already cleared the cache.
