I've abandoned this project because I don't have time to update it, so don't install it because it doesn't work on the current version of Google Reader.

Changelog:
1.10a
- Fixed color on "Home" when no unread items are shown.
- Fixed colors of information bar when changing sort order by oldest items.

1.10
- Fixed Expanded view. A thick black border is shown for the non-current items. I haven't found the element causing that, but it's not too bothersome I think.
- Home view streamlined. Matching colors and removing tips box and Google messages. Using more readable fonts.

1.01
- A few improvements. The buttons on the bottom of the sidebar no longer get covered up by the footer.
- Changed the alignment of the feed names to the right - on the list view (tell me what you think of this).

I just took parts of several other styles and tried to glue them together:

- Google Reader Dark by oltra
- Google Reader - Modified "Slate Series"
- Google reader para ler
- OS X Style Google Reader

There are some things that don't work well, like the auto-hiding sidebar (I can't seem to resize the footer to give space to the sidebar).

Most probably this won't work at all on anything else than Firefox 2.

I suck at color design, so if anyone has better suggestion as to the color combinations, please comment!

Also, I had to hide some icons from the interface because they aren't transparent and look awful on this color scheme. If anyone can create some that work on a dark background, do help out :)

I hope you like it!
