Timerhooker Script Changelog

Timerhooker Userscript Changelog

Summary of Changes

• Removed duplicate function: Eliminated the repeated blockPageVisibilityDetection() function to avoid confusion and potential conflicts.
• Replaced magic numbers with constants: Introduced well-named constants for all numeric literals (e.g., UI_SIZE, AUTOEDGE, DRAG_MARGIN) enhancing maintainability and readability.
• Version updated to 4.2.0: Reflecting the refactor and improvements made.
• Cleaned and consolidated code structure: Ensured all related constants and functions are grouped logically and consistently referenced.
• Improved UI styling transitions: Used constants for transition durations in the CSS text for easier adjustments.
• Added inline comments: Clarified purpose of constants and key functions for better future code understanding.
• Confirmed cross-browser compatibility: Maintained universal compatibility and userscript manager independence.

Impact for Users

• Same user experience: The core functionality of toggling timer/video speeds and draggable UI remains unchanged.
• Better stability and easier to maintain code base for future updates.
• Reduced chance of bugs related to duplicate function definitions or hard-coded constants.
• Lays foundation for easier feature enhancements or customization going forward.

This changelog highlights the primary refactoring and structural improvements while preserving all original features and behavior.

Change Log: Timerhooker v4.1.2

What's New

• Self-Contained Script: All timer and video speed logic is included in the script – no more @require dependencies or need for separate plugins.
• Modern 16× Speed Toggle: Instantly switch all timers and videos between 1× (normal) and 16× (fast) speed with a single click/tap.
• Minimal Glass UI: Redesigned round button with glass effect, drag-to-move, and play/stop icons. Fully adapts color to dark/light theme.
• Auto Half-Hide: Button slides exactly 50% off nearest screen edge after 3 seconds UI idle; always at least half-visible and easy to reactivate.
• Screen-Locked Placement: Button position is fixed to the viewport and never moves with page scroll. Always movable by drag, never lost or fully hidden.
• Page Visibility Protection: Now blocks sites from tracking visibility/focus events for smoother operation and more privacy.
• MutationObserver UI Recovery: Button automatically restores itself if removed, even by complex site scripts or dynamic page changes.

Improvements

• UI & Event Handling: All drag-and-move, click/tap, and idle logic is streamlined for robustness. Dock/undock logic and opacity tricks are replaced with a simpler, always-discoverable half-hide design.
• Always Adaptive: The UI automatically matches browser/OS light or dark mode.
• No Global API Exposure: Timer/video patching works internally, no leak of global APIs or config needed.

Removed

• External @require for plugin timer/video patching
• Dock/undock state and multi-part UI logic
• Complex global timer/context registration
• Opacity and visibility fade effects ("vanishing" on idle)
