Google Reader - Colorful List View

Colorizes the item headers in Google Reader list view

The color is derived from the title of the feed.

Very nice. A couple things i was wondering though:

- Is it possible to make only certain feeds colored?

- And also how would i choose my own color?

Thanks.

p.s. I don't know any programing or anything of the sort. Sorry.

Hello all,

I love your script Kepp but I was wondering if there is a way to make it colorize only Read (or Unread) items ????

Thanks for your work anyway,

BoZ'

I tried disabling Better GReader, thinking that might conflict with this script, but still no dice. Any idea why it wouldn't work in FF3?

Works fine in Firefox 3 for me :-)

Awesome script kepp.

I created a slight modification of yours (I believe I used an older version from a month ago) to work with the expanded view also, uploaded here:

@anemos: You can manually add those by right clicking on the little monkey in the status bar, click manage user scripts, find script and click add for included sites. Then just paste those links in.

Doesn't seem to work with Firefox 3.

Does this plugin work with Firefox 3? I've installed it, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

I found the css selectors ineffective, so here's a fixed version:

                    "div[colored='" + title + "'].entry div.collapsed {" +
                    "   background: hsl(" + color + ",70%,75%) !important; }" +
                    "div[colored='" + title + "'].entry:hover div.collapsed {" +
                    "   background: hsl(" + color + ",90%,80%) !important; }" +
                    "div[colored='" + title + "'].entry.read div.collapsed {" +
                    "   background: hsl(" + color + ",70%,90%) !important; }" +
                    "div[colored='" + title + "'].entry.read:hover div.collapsed {" +
                    "   background: hsl(" + color + ",90%,95%) !important; }");

Thanks, awesome script.
Would you mind including the other urls which gReader is accessible through though?
http://google.com/reader/*
https://www.google.com/reader/*
https://google.com/reader/*
are missing, would be greatly appreciated!

very nice, makes scanning headlines in list view much easier.

quick question; i actually like the muted colors used for "read" items in list view better than the bold colors for unread items, so

is there any way to edit the script so that unread items use the muted colors instead? then have "read" items just turn white, regardless of source?

It was probably looking messed up in notepad because of the way the newlines were encoded. See how it looks now.

I also added a hover color. In doing this I made the default colors a bit darker and the hover color brighter. Tweak it if you want.

Great script,

- When I try to change the script it is all messed upp in Notespad on Windows, Why ?

- Could you implement a hoover color over posts in the listview ?

Thanks
Thomas
