firefox requires this extension:
Stylish
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108
Installation notes from the article:
Installation
Download gReader.zip. There are 2 versions, one for Mozilla browsers and one for WebKit & Opera.
Firefox
Once you have the Stylish extension installed, just copy and paste the css into the ‘create styles for this page’ window.
Camino
In Camino, either paste this into your /Library/Application Support/Camino/chrome/userContent.css file, or if that file doesn’t exist, rename the greader.css file to be userContent.css. The theme will be applied when you restart Camino.
Safari
Once Safaristand is installed, place the greader.css file in your user/Library/Safari/Stand/UserStyleSheets folder. Then visit Google Reader, go to SafariStand > Settings > Site Alteration. Add the site, enable Site Alteration and choose the greader file from the list. Make sure the matching pattern is just www.google.com. You may have to empty your cache, restart Safari and refresh before seeing any changes!
Omniweb
In Site Preferences > Page Appearance, choose the greader.css file under ‘Style Sheet’. The change should happen instantly!
Opera
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’. Like Omniweb, the change should apply immediately. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22Burshed Metal != "Gorgeous"
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Woah dude, keep it in your pants. It's pretty and all but easy does it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Mirror: Duggmirror missed it. http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk.nyud.net:8080/journal/google-reader-theme
the flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hicksdesign/458953978/ - kalidav, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /file_download/33 on this server. - samuelcotterall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Jon Hicks is a Mac user...
- pgudge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8They probably have, this is a style/theme to change the appearance of a website to look like a mac app. This one being Google Reader. RTFA.
- samuelcotterall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I just went to hicksdesign.co.uk/journal and noticed it was down. Now I know why...
There are some screenshots on his Flickr page: http://flickr.com/photos/hicksdesign - winnopeg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Try the design commuinity.
Anyways, the server isn't down. That page has just been killed for some reason. - Flyfishing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Getting the above error...Anyone have a mirror of the zip file?
- donveto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I installed it and now my Google Reader flies, maybe because of the local CSS file. I like google reader but it was always slow. Now it looks prettier and is faster.
- intrktevo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's awesome but I don't like the fact that it doesn't highlight the story your currently on (before there was a blue border).
I'll keep using it though, thanks! - AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You see that Firefox icon in your taskbar? John Hicks did that.
- Attrition, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I have it, but not sure where to put it for a mirror.
- PaulBeardsell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Has anyone created a css skin for gmail??
- taitacakes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Thanks mate :)
- andy2na, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i agree, the mac interface is old and out of style
- nascarthunder, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12Simply gorgeous! It makes Google Reader look like it is a stand alone Mac app. Google should really think about implementing a lot of the user created add-ons developed in Greasemonkey and Stylish like Gmail macros, attachment icons, different GReader themes like this one and the hundred other improvements people have made to Google products. I probably wouldn't use as many Google products as often as I do now or at all if it were not for the user created Greasemonkey and Stylish additions.
- Flyfishing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Thanks for the link. Works (and looks) great!
- rossnyc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He designed the Firefox logo
- stephenv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4FWIW, he did a similar skin for Bloglines a while back:
http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/bloglines-skin-14 - miszobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Really pretty. Worth checking out, even if not a mac fan. Just has a slick, cool feel to it.
- ruz322, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8"Am I the only one that thinks Vista looks better than OSX? "
Yea, I'm pretty sure you are. I don't even use Windows or Mac, but I'm positive you are the only person that thinks that. - abid786, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Am I the only one that thinks Vista looks better than OSX"
What's there to see in Vista? It is just XP with a new theme and see-through window borders. - winnopeg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3If you go to his blog's index, you can still see the original post and download the file from his server.
http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/ - mjsteinbaugh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Wow digg took Jon's server down? He's got to be pissed about that. I'm sure he has a dedicated hosting plan that is supposed to have better reliability than this. He runs site with Textpattern last time I checked. Maybe it can't handle a high server load.
- deviant87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's great, but it has a few minor bugs, while loading the animation messes up a bit, and if the site name is too long it overlaps with the unread item count in the sidebar. Apart from that, it looks just like a native osx app.
- markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1412 Precondition Failed?
That's a new one. - Ambimom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As much fun as this is, there is a hitch in Opera. When you add the stylesheet to google reader, it changes everything else in google too. I like my home page as it is. The Bloglines stylesheet works in Opera. All you have to do is save the download as a text file and direct your browser to it via site preferences/display.
- iSamurai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Scratch that...
- mhusson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This Skin != Brushed Metal
- Emilio8605, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I agree. I tried it, but I just like the entire Google package (Gmail, Reader, Docs, Calendar, etc.) styles better. Good work but not for me.
- reclusivemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sort of;
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7646
You'll need greasemonkey of course. Its not quite as nice as this google reader skin, but if you are really bored with the default gmail look, it may be worth a try. - monkeyflingpoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Sorry I must be an idiot. I just installed Stylish but I don't have the 'create styles for this page' button. Please Help!
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6is he supposed to be somebody famous among the hardcore mac cult?
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I can't get too excited about this because I've never really cared for that theme in OSX.
- aaront22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am using Mozilla have downloaded the stylish add on and the css file. Copied the text into a blank style page saved it. Restarted firefox logged into Google Reader it says it is enabled but nothing has changed. Thanks for any help.
- craptacuIar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Beautiful, but the way that the scrollable part of the main right area hangs in space below the top bar bothered me a bit.
Replaced the style starting with the ID of "#chrome-footer-container, #viewer-box td.s," etc. with these 3:
------------------------------------
#chrome-footer-container, #viewer-box td.s, .tab-header-selected td.s, .tab-header-selected td.c, #viewer-top-links {
background: #EAEAEA !important;
color: #666 !important;
}
#viewer-controls .tab-header td.s, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.c, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.s a:link, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.s a:visited, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.s a:hover, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.c a:link, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.c a:visited, #viewer-controls .tab-header td.c a:hover {
background-color: transparent !important;
background: transparent none !important;
color: #0D2F63 !important;
}
#viewer-controls .tab-header-selected td.s, #viewer-controls .tab-header-selected td.c {
background-color: #EAEAEA !important;
}
------------------------------------
That puts a very light grey in the background of the white bar below the top blue one, and changes the active tab to the same grey. The transparent inactive tab may not be ideal, but this was a quickie revision. - resrie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+01-click Apollo install at http://jinsync.com
- BryGy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0open the CSS file in your browser. Right click the Stylish button on your Status bar at the bottom of your browser. Choose 'Add File to Stylish'. Give it a name and save it. At least that's what I did.
- franky76, on 09/25/2008, -1/+0 The transparent inactive tab may not be ideal, but this was a quickie revision, and if the site name is too long it overlaps with the unread item count in the sidebar
