Google Reader Theme

Posted on April 19, 2007 2 Comments

Using Google Reader, but wish it had a bit more of a “Mac” look to it? The folks at Hickdesign have released a Google Reader Theme to do exactly that.

Easy to install and use (Firefox users will need to grab the Stylish extension). I tried it out in Opera today and like it. Maybe looks a bit more bloglines than Mac, but it’s an interesting change of pace.

Setting it up with Opera was dead simple:

Put the greader.css file anywhere you like! Right-click on the Google Reader page, choose “Edit Site Preferences” and select the CSS file through the display tab, under ‘My Style Sheet’.

The change shows instantly. Here’s a little sample:

Google Reader with Theme

(Peeking into the CSS was rather educational as well! I have some thoughts for tweaks now)

Hey Randa, glad to hear that. It’s pretty slick, isn’t it?
