Make google reader suck less
Long story short: google has made some changes on it’s RSS reader platform. Instead of adding features (like… I don’t know, easy ways to manage subscriptions?) they decided to change the design. With an ugly one.
So i changed things a little: removed white space (yeah, i know, white space is good, but is not good when you see ONLY white space!), added few gradients there and there, removed the big-ass subscribe button and few more tweaks. Also, the article has an increased font-size and line-height, for a nicer reading.
All you need is greasemonkey (there are some voices that says google chrome know this natively, but i don’t use crappy software) and install this awesome script. You are done.
PS: I know, my English sucks. Don’t bother telling me that again.

colegu, fă şi nişte bordere la articole, te rog.
I use Chrome and the script didn’t work… T0T
@Zoso: try now;
@Sivan: tried in chrome. Works for me.
border la articol şi fonturi mai mici, pls.
@Staicu Ionuț-Bogdan: Done. I’ve seen the changes~
Great script.
Almost fell of the chair when I saw the new ugly google reader look this morning.
Will not work in Chrome. Installed, enabled, no change.
Deeply saddened.
I actually like it the way it is, except the fact that the Previous/Next item buttons are too far to the right on a 24″ monitor
So yeah, white space fail there…
Also lovin’ the list view, didn’t notice it before (is it new or it existed in the old Reader as well?)
@Anatati: works in chrome. Tried on several machines, both windows and mac
@Cosmin: yes, it was there before. Very handy to quickly scan article titles
@Cosmin: btw, you can just press j/k or space/shift+space for prev/next post
i just instaled the scrip on chrome. i do see any diference… Ionut, can you make a screenshot?
*script
**i do not see any difference
..may it’s not working for me…so, can you make a screenshot
@razvan: check this out: http://screencast.com/t/bJYAUXW1av
meh, de aia ziceai tu că s-a rezolvat. că foloseşti list view.
@zoso: au si un border… http://screencast.com/t/TVXm2xij Dacă îl fac mai vizibil mi se pare că e deranjant. Încearcă să ștergi cache-ul browserului (firefox și chrome)
la mine apare border doar dacă sunt cu mausu in ele

oh, w8, acum au apărut, după al doilea clear cache.
Ionuţ, am reţinut că trebuie să meargă pe Chrome. Probabil că e doar la mine buba
eh..acum merge, de fapt acum sunt pe alt comp
si e ok.
Tks. Se mai poate face ceva la el? “folder”-ul curent sa isi schimbe culoare si cand sunt “necitite” in el? Se face rosu doar daca e “gol” Tks! Super!
Nu era mai simplu de pus css-ul in stylish?
Sau vrei sa vezi pe ce calculatoare e instalat scriptul?
var styles = “@import url(‘http://iamntz.com/g.reader/g.reader.css’);”;
@Daniel: da, vreau să văd pe ce calculatoare e instalat, pentru că mă ajută la… Spune tu la ce.
Oricum, fiind încărcat așa, pot face update mult mai ușor la css.
