The recommended way to install user styles is to use Firefox with Stylish.

If you already have Firefox with Stylish, make sure this site is allowed to run JavaScript.

Maximizes the area for displaying articles by removing all the stuff that you probably never use anyway. Be ready to learn your keyboard shortcuts though because this is a really stripped down interface.

If you want more flexibility, try the Google Reader Absolutely Customizable Greasemonkey script ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58577 ). It has an options dialog to allow you to choose which customizations you want without having to edit the code.

Works with the new Google Reader design! Fully compatible with Google Reader Absolutely Dark & Google Reader Absolutely Dark Blue.

If you have any suggestions or see something that's screwed up, let me know.
