release v0.7.5
Originally started to give a cockpit feel to the dashboard, I deem the script currently stable enough for release. Reasons for this script: see the ‘Short history’ section.
Pending items and release notes are below the script description.
The script relies on the open framework.
Download/install the WK Dashboard Cockpit script from GreasyFork location.
Short history
Since the dashboard updates of March 9, I’ve been triggered into looking more into user side scripting. The new lesson and review buttons were a little large for my taste, and I didn’t like the SRS progress bar being pushed off-screen (although now the search bar is hidden by default, it might just fit back in).
At the same time I figured I would try my hand at HTML5 drawings on canvas elements to add some graphical components to the dashboard. A cockpit idea with the SRS progress bar front and center was quickly born - and then took forever to get working properly. So this script is as much a playground as it is something functional.
As it turns out, canvas drawings and CSS do not mix. So the script now contains considerable amounts of style being applied to the drawings. Also, over time I had picked up quite a few scripts that hooked into the SRS progress bar - which I was busy replacing with something that cannot be referenced by element. And I figured I should include some of this functionality into the drawn SRS arc as well. Most of these scripts rely on analysing the same item data - something the the cockpit script can do in a single pass over the items.
So… the script has turned into something of a monster, borrowing heavily from other scripts by this wonderful community. I always knew I was going to post it someday, as it might interest other (aspiring) scripters (on what not to do), but after seeing expressed interest I decided to set myself a deadline and get the first version out.
Feel free to request updates and point out bugs. There are still a few things I want for this script (see pending items), but more ideas are welcome.
DESCRIPTION
My own main dashboard currently looks like this
The cockpit script supports/reimplements the following existing scripts:
1. seanblue's SRS and Leech Breakdown
Short description: shows the number of items in the individual Apprentice (I-IV) and Guru (I-II) stages.
Original script:
[Userscript] WaniKani Dashboard SRS and Leech Breakdown
2. rfindley's Golden Burn
Short description: turns the Burned section on the SRS arc golden in color.
Dashboad Cockpit does not affect golden burn colors on other items/pages!
Original script:
[Userscript]: Golden Burn
3. Pep95's Total Progress Bar
Short description: adds a progress bar indicating the percentage of total items in each of the main stages.
I originally had other plans for this, but had too many issues with getting it to display properly (without white vertical lines due to rounding issues). So I never got further than a meager version of the orginal. Might be taken out at some point unless I actually do something with it, because right now it adds next to nothing over the original (different placement and caching).
Since version v0.6:
- uses color gradients identical to the main arc
- displays percentages if there is sufficient space, will shrink to 1 decimal place if space is insufficient before removing entirely.
Original script:
[Userscript] Total Progress Bar (Allows Level Progress Removal)(aka 2Cool4Progress)
Not included in the cockpit but visible in the screenshot. These are panels updated by other scripts I have running:
A. Dashboard Level Progress Detail
See original script thread:
[Userscript] Dashboard Level Progress Detail. update to broken script
B. Review Forecast Clock Style
See original script thread:
[Userscript] WK Review Forecast Clock Style
But the cockpit has a few more display options…
The cockpit script supports/reimplements the following existing scripts:
4. Kumirei's Locked Count
Short description: show the count of locked items for current and future levels
Dashboard Cockpit version excludes lessons from the count (as it’s displayed right next to the lessons button)
Original script counted everything that wasn’t yet lessoned.
Original script:
[Userscript] Locked Count
5. seanblue's SRS and Leech Breakdown
Short description: leech counts per SRS stage. What qualifies as a leech? Check the original script post for details, but leeches are essentially items that are answered wrongly multiple times.
Dashboard Cockpit allows the SRS detail and Leech counts to be individually visible or invisible, Leech counts can be displayed in different brightness levels and the Leech threshold is configurable.
Leech threshold is a number from 1-4. The higher the threshold, the fewer items are considered as leeches. Originally any item that has enough errors to pass the leech threshold in either reading errors or meaning errors was counted as a leech. Starting with version v0.3, you can set a minimum nr of errors (reading/meaning combined) so that items you get wrong for the first time aren’t immediately counted as leeches. Allowed values are 1-10 with 1 being the default and making the script behave as it did prior to v0.3.
Starting with v0.2 leech counts can be displayed in bright mode or bright on hover mode. Starting with v0.3 leech counts can be displayed in inverted ellipse mode.
Original script:
[Userscript] WaniKani Dashboard SRS and Leech Breakdown
6. Kumirei's Level by SRS
Short description: for each SRS stage, the highest level for which 90% of the items have reached at least this stage is displayed. The 90% threshold is configurable.
Included as it needs to be displayed next to the SRS progress bar.
Original script:
[Userscript] Levels by SRS
So… does this script add anything itself? Well, apart from the obvious change in SRS progress bar, here are some features of the cockpit:
1. Locked Count in fuel gauge form
Essentially still Kumirei’s Locked Count script.
Short description: show the count of locked items for current and future levels
Dashboard Cockpit version excludes lessons from the count (as it’s displayed right next to the lessons button)
Original script counted everything that wasn’t yet lessoned.
Original script:
[Userscript] Locked Count
2. Smaller lessons and reviews buttons
But with the pictures intact. Starting with v0.4 the script integrates better with Kumirei’s Review Hover Details, keeping the hover information on the review button intact.
3. Level dials displaying each level's progress towards the burn status
Each item is awarded a score based on its progression towards the burned status.
Scoring details
An item scores points for the SRS stage it is in (1 for each of the four Apprentice Levels, 2 for each of the Guru levels and 4 for each of the remaining stages). Locked or unstarted items score 0.
An item also scores points based on how long it has spent in its current stage. For instance, an Apprentice II item (stage length 8 hours) that has spent 2 hours in Apprentice II already, will score 0.25 extra points (2/8). Each of the periods is worth the same number of points as reaching the stage itself.
So a Master item (4 points for the stage, stage length 30 days) that has spent 10 days in Master will score and additional 1.33 (4 * 10/30).
Points for stages are cumulative, so this gives every item a total maximum score of 36 (burned). The score for the level is the average of all the level’s items, and is expressed as a percentage from 0-100, with the dial anywhere from before Apprentice I (score 0) until the middle of Burned (score 100).
Completely unstarted levels and completely burned levels are not displayed.
For a more details overview of display options and hover/click popups see further down.
4. Front and center level indication
Starting with v0.4 the colors of the level indication can be chosen in the settings so the number is visible better regardless of light or dark mode WaniKani.
5. Ability to show/hide various panels
I’ve seen multiple other styles and scripts do the same, but they tend to provide a single combination of hidden panels. Since the cockpit messes with the layout so much, I figured I might as well include.
Caching previous status
This means the page is initially displayed with the information from your previous visit, after which you can see the dials/bars/numbers move upon update (borrowed from hitechbunny/BlazzBolt’s Dashboard Level Progress Detail script).
Smaller tooltips on the SRS arc
Hovering over the level dials shows the level progress score. To prevent dials on top of each other,
a minimum separation between dials is configurable. The script will favor display of lower levels over higher ones, regardless of the sequence in which they appear.
| Show all dials | Minimum separation setting | Less clutter |
|---|---|---|
 |

Click the level dial for a breakdown of the items per SRS stage for that level:
Starting with v0.4, you can use the arrow buttons next to the level number to navigate to the next or previous level. All levels that aren’t unstarted or completely burnt can be viewed this way, regardless of whether their level dial is visible on the arc.
Then there are the position options. For instance, using Ultimate Timeline and Dashboard Progress Plus, the dashboard cockpit could look like this:
Settings accessible via the standard menu (click on your gravatar in the menu bar)
There are three pages of settings currently:
Starting with v0.5.4 the position options for the extra study panel are added to the Panels tab
Starting with v0.6 there are 3 available sizes for the main arc.
Starting with v0.6 there is an option to hide the main buttons (use only if running other scripts that display the lessons/reviews buttons elsewhere - dashboard cockpit does not check for this)
Starting with v0.6 there are level 60 options to hide unused items from the dashboard. It makes little sense to permanently stare at a ‘0 lessons’ button. The auto-hiding puts the items back into view as soon as f.i. new items roll out.
Starting with v0.6 the total progress bar can be displayed above the main arc
Starting with v0.6 the position options for the extra study panel are automatically disabled if the Extra Study Mover script is detected.
Starting with v0.6.7 the Recent Mistakes panel position is linked to the Extra Study panel (as they are similar in nature). The exception is when Extra Study Mover is used and the Extra Study panel is place in the header. In that case, the Recent Mistakes panel will be visible in its default location, above the level progress panel.

Pending items
- Dark theme support
The drawing aspect requires this be handled explicitly in the script. Have no idea what the cockpit currently looks like in a dark theme. - Mobile layouts
I still need to look into how the whole -m thing works. Current layout will be much too wide. - Level 60 goal panel
- Figuring out if I can split this script into some smaller single purpose scripts
