As long as no JavaScript is necessary to acomplish changes on a site, it should perform better. It's also easier to define CSS without the need to wrap it into a String ;) <br />(My earlier post was actually targeting "Anonymous" #1 looking for alternatives.)Stefan Schulzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336238398725012195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-70089674988653355702011-11-02T00:35:55.263+00:002011-11-02T00:35:55.263+00:00@Stefan, as I'm not a GreaseMonkey regular, it...@Stefan, as I'm not a GreaseMonkey regular, its entirely possible that there are better alternatives.<br /><br />@Anonymous, I added colours to the entry headers only. If you know CSS, it should be clear how GreaseMonkey works, so you can edit it yourself. Make sure to close your browser and refresh lots to pickup the script.Stephen Colebournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454237967846880639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-65902777706145662212011-11-01T23:18:43.453+00:002011-11-01T23:18:43.453+00:00For those using Chrome instead of Firefox, the Sty...For those using Chrome instead of Firefox, the StyleBot extension lets you inject CSS in much the same way. That's how I cleaned up my Reader.<br /><br />The new theme really is bad. Gmail lets you choose a custom theme, so I haven't had to deal with the "new look", but Reader doesn't have themes.Steve Armstronghttp://stevearm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-60460125297308846262011-11-01T16:38:57.275+00:002011-11-01T16:38:57.275+00:00I can't get the colors to work.

So i'm still looking for another solution...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
