userstyles.org - iGoogle: Compact & Transparent top bar *UPDATED*

*** CHECK THIS OUT ***

If you like this style, and like the old-style tabs at the top, check out my new iGoogle: Compact Transparency & Tabs!

*** Perfect for netbooks! ***

This style removes a TON of padding and margins, allowing for more feeds and gadgets on your iGoogle homepage without scrolling.
This style removes the header and footer spacing, so you can really cram a LOT of info on a single page.

As a bonus, this style removes some of the header image, and makes the white bar at the top transparent. This works well with a lot of themes I have tried. Because the text is white, it works best on dark themes. To remain visible on light themes, the text now has a shadow so there should be no issues.

If you find a theme that this doesn't work with, leave a comment, and I will try to fix it.
To use this style, install Firefox and Stylish. If you already have Stylish, make sure this site is allowed to run JavaScript.
