lunatica — for the QAIRU portal

a userscript that reshapes the QAIRU student portal to fit you: customisation down to the single item, an optimised design, the menu set straight, and a timetable made for sharing.

drag the divider — or focus it and use the arrow keys.

the settings these were taken with

miras’ own config, exported from the panel. paste it back over yours and the portal above is what you get — the starfield, the violet card glow, the trimmed menu and the shortened name are all in here.

what it changes

takes away

  • the aya ai dock(if you ask)the panel that floats over every page
  • the promo blockthe ad for aya at the foot of the menu
  • dead menu itemsthe ones that never open anyway
  • the “class is over” stampthe portal prints “занятие прошло” in every single cell of the timetable
  • entrance animationspages appear instead of sliding in
  • search, bell, locale(if you ask)the three controls in the header

puts back

  • a real dark themethe portal’s own variables, overridden — not a filter laid over the top, so status colours and charts still mean what they meant
  • a settings panelalt + q. every line on the left is a switch, and so is every block on the home page
  • a readable timetablepast classes dim until you hover; lecturer and stream can go if you only need subject, type and room
  • motion, optimisedthe entrance animations are not just switched off — they land at their end state at once, so the page is usable on the first frame instead of after everything has finished arriving

unmarked lines are on from the first load; the rest are switches waiting in the panel.

what it is allowed to touch

a userscript declares its own reach at the top of the file, and the manager — not the script — is what enforces it. this is that header, unedited:

why this exists
Perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

one domain, never inside a frame, three storage calls. there is no network code in the file at all — your settings sit in your own browser under qd.settings.v1 and go nowhere.

install

  1. get a userscript manager

    Tampermonkey for chrome, edge, firefox or safari; Violentmonkey if you prefer open source. either works — this script asks for nothing exotic.

    tampermonkey ↗violentmonkey ↗

  2. press install

    the manager opens the source in a tab and asks once. read it if you like — it is one plain file, no build step, no minifier.

    install

  3. open the portal

    the theme is applied before the page paints, so there is no white flash on the way in. nothing to configure — the defaults are the opinionated ones.

using it

alt + q
open the settings panel from anywhere
the menu item
labelled «Настройки вида» in the sidebar — it can be turned off
the corner button
the fallback launcher when the menu item is off
esc
close the panel
reset
the button at the foot of the panel, labelled «Сбросить» — back to defaults

questions

will it update itself?
yes. the @updateURL above points back at this page, so your manager checks it for new versions on its own schedule.
what happens when the portal is redesigned?
the theme survives most of it — it rides on the portal’s own CSS variables. the parts that hide specific blocks are matched by selector, and those are the ones that can quietly stop applying. tell me when that happens.
does it work on a phone?
on the same pages in a mobile browser, yes, if that browser can run a userscript manager. firefox on android can; safari on ios needs a manager from the app store.
how do I remove it?
the manager’s dashboard, one click. nothing is left behind on the portal.
