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.

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.

Thank YOU. Happy Holidays. Your "program" is my Xmas gift. I hated the new google interface/layout. With your program, I'm able to read/scan/review more feed on my 19" screen. Saves me time and energy; and I'm more productive. ****

Absolutely fabulous.

I was going to request that the current entry be highlighted, but you had already updated :) Wow, did you read my mind?

After I updated this morning, My list-view is all funky when I select a folder (but OK when I select an individual feed)
I've commented out the following in my local copy as a workaround:

#entries.list .collapsed .entry-secondary {
top: 0px !important; }
/* margin: 0 6em 0 2em !important; } */

= Edit Dec 18 2008 =
Above issue fixed in the latest update. THANK YOU :) *****

Thanks very much, I made some changes at this style ( Add search and subscription button ). *****

Top notch. Pares down all the white space to a minimum.

I use keyboard shortcuts and list view exclusively so this works perfectly for me.

Nicely done, does exactly what it says it'll do.

The lack of search functionality is an onion in the ointment. Can the search widget be added back, perhaps justified against the "loading" box?
