Spruce Up Google Reader

Spruce Up Google Reader
By Jimmy@smalldog.com

I found this nifty little trick while looking around Digg.com. It
allows you to skin or theme Google Reader (http://reader.google.com)
and it sure does look better then the default!

You can use Mozilla Firefox, Camino, Safari, OmniWeb, and Opera. I
tried it out on FireFox so it was pretty simple. You need to download
and install the Stylish extension and then after you restart FireFox
you'll notice a little icon in the lower right corner (looks like a
piece of paper with a paint brush). Click on that icon and choose
Write Style >> For This URL. Paste in the special CSS file and it
should change the look of the Google Reader page!

Stylish Extension for FireFox:

the other web browsers:
