InfoQ Presentation Video Enlarger

I like Infoq, and especially their presentations.

These presentation page has 3 elements:

  • Top left: One small video showing the person presenting

  • Top right: One small window describing the presentation and presenters

  • Bottom: One large window showing the actual presentation slide



This layout works very well, and basically shows you what you need.

But...

The window is a bit small (320x240), especially on larger resolutions screens. Especially when the presenter also shows some code, which is usually shown in the video window.

So I wrote a little user script which enlarges this video window (480x320).
This script is only for the Google Chrome browser. A similar Firefox based GreaseMonkey script should be easy to convert.




To install click on my
InfoQ Presentation Video Enlarger user script available at
www.ivar.co.uk/cargo/infoq-enlarge-presentation.chrome.user.js.




You can download and look at the js in a text editor first.It really is a very small and easy to understand script.

Anyone can contribute changes if desired.
