Latest Version Notes
This script is now a part of the great Better GReader Firefox Addon.
Patched 1.0.1: Opera Support! You can now use GReader Favicon Alerts as an Opera User Javascript.
To use, please download the file and move it into your userscripts folder. Read Opera's tutorial on User Javascript for details on setting up userscripts.
Description
An unread count is overlaid on the Google Reader icon. The count increases up through 1000.
The count is indicated when over 1000.
Used in combination with the Faviconize Tab extension, you can easily keeps tabs on your Google Reader status with less screen real estate than usual.
GReader Favicon Alerts is based on my other script Gmail Favicon Alerts and includes a space-efficient and eye-pleasing pixel font by Tyler Sticka.
Notes
- User SBromagem noted that the Show Unread Count option must be enabled in Google Reader for this script to work. You can find the setting in the settings dropdown, next to the All Items link.
