This script is based off http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/116933 and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12197
I've just changed some style to hide top bar, top header/searchbox, and feed title.
Not everybody like the new (1/11/2011) Google Reader user interface.
I don't like it, especially because I use Google Reader on a netbook with a 10" screen of 1024x600 pixel.
The new theme have too much white, unused, space. Too much header. and few space for actual contents.
Just some hour after the release of the new interface there have been a big proliferation of "fix" for the new interface, especially on userscript.org (Greasemonkey script archive).
After testing them all, I've come up with my own version of these script.
This layout fit perfectly the way I use Google Reader on my netbook.
Fell free to use it or modify it.
A big thanks to Scott Cowan, the developer of Google Reader Minimalistic (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12197) and to Hoong Ern, the developer of Google Reader Back (http://userscripts.org/users/416220) upon which is based my script.
Comments and suggestion are welcome.
