Skinning The Old Reader?
May 12, 2013 7:34 AM Subscribe
So, I'm really trying to appreciate The Old Reader, but there are certain things I can't ignore. Primarily, the non-resizeable sidebar and the color scheme...
One, I'm not sure is necessarily able to be skinned, and that's the moveable leftsidebar/maincontent divider. At some point Google added this ability and the old reader apparently was copied from an older version than that. :(
The other things that I think are more able to be tweaked are the colors and style. I just have a very difficult time dealing with that weird mint-green color. I imagine there's some sort of userscript I could use in greasemonkey. I've never used stylish, but if I have to, I will... Is there a stylish or greasemonkey script that can override that awful color scheme, especially one with a nice light color scheme?
Any other tips to tweak and enhance the appearance/UI of oldreader is appreciated.

Response by poster: I guess I'll try to install Stylish and take a gander at the CSS... I don't mind, say, the logo or whatever, but the general highlighting of mint, I'll have to see what I can find. I'll try to play with what you have for resizing. Thanks! If anyone else has any more tips/pointers, I'd love to hear :)

Response by poster: In case anyone is curious, I ended up finding about inoreader (probably in another askmefi thread). It looks much more like gReader and has resizeable side frame, IIRC. It seems like a little more of a memory hog from what I can tell, hopefully they can tweak it. But if you want a more stylish option that isn't feedly, that's one potential option for you.
