Spruce Up Google Reader

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:

Special CSS File:
