Script Summary: Google Reader Colored colors feeds based on their name, making Google Reader more pleasant to look at and easier to pick out specific feeds.
Version: 0.4.0
Google Reader Colored colors feeds based on their name, making Google Reader more pleasant to look at and easier to pick out specific feeds.
It generates default colors for each feed based on the name, but allows you to change these colors to ones of your own choice.
It's flexible in the way you want to color the feeds. You can choose which parts you want to color. See the screenshot of the settings page for the list of options.
This script has been inspired by kepp's Google Reader Colorful, but it is NOT merely an edited version of his script. It's been written from the ground up by me.
Changelog
- Version 0.4.0
- Updated it to work with the new layout.
- Made the search box (in the settings page) work with custom ranges.
- Removed the update script. Both scriptish (firefox) and tampermonkey (chrome) have this built in now.
- Updated jquery to 1.7.1 (from 1.3.2).
- Made the custom range selector in the color select hover box (settings page) actually use the custom range instead of the first color in the range.
- Added a select color item to the dropdown menu in the navigation pane.
- Version 0.3.3
- Ranges now auto-wrap around 360. For example, 359-2 would result in [359, 360, 1, 2] where previously it wouldn't result in anything at all. (This basically saves you from having to add 360 to the last number yourself).
- Version 0.3.2
- Added an option to store (up to) 6 custom ranges/hues you can use to search/define colors. You can click them using the color select form, or you can use them in searches/bulk recoloring as custom1-custom6.
- Fixed a bug where a hue of 360 was considered to be 0, and would thus cause the color to reset.
- Version 0.3.1
- Added an option to only color feeds that have new items in them in the navigation panel.
- Version 0.3.0
- Moved a lot of functions to a general script. Nothing should change for you guys, but this makes it easier for me to reuse my code in other projects.
- Version 0.2.6
- Fixed the script not working with the https version of Google Reader.
- Version 0.2.5
- Fixed a bug that caused boxes/elements with a colored background (other than white) in the feed contents to lose their background, which made things hard to read at times.
- Added step support to the ranges. The format of a range now is start-end(-step). If not given, step defaults to 1. So, for example, 2-10 would result in [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], and 2-10-2 would result in [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]. Is this useful? For setting colors, it might be. It is for me anyway. For searching, it's pretty much useless, although it does work, if you want to.
- Added support for resetting the color of a feed to default by setting it's color value to 0.
- Version 0.2.4
- Fixed a bug in the range-generating function that caused ranges in which both numbers were of different length to fail (eg 1-10, 90-100, 9-100, 90-1000, etc).
- Fixed the not coloring of feeds/navs in some cases. (Specifically, in situations where they already had been loaded/added to the page at the moment the page got flagged ready/fully loaded).
- Fixed using the enter button to confirm/save when changin the color for a single feed.
- Added searching for color values (or ranges) using the top-right searchbox (on the settings page).
- Removed the select-by-color link as it is made obsolete by the search function (see above).
- Added color wrapping. Basically, hue 120 == hue 480, except until now they were considered different (when searching). Now any hue over 360 automatically gets wrapped around to 0, so 480 changes into 120, etc. Makes searching for colors that are visually the same/similar more intuitive.
- Version 0.2.3
- Added proper locale support.
- Added Dutch (nl) locale.
- General code cleanup and reorganisation. Moved functions around to group them more logically, moved some actions out of the element-generating functions into the setup functions, etc. In other words, boring internal stuff.
- Version 0.2.2
- Added a select-by-color link to the subscription pane of the settings.
- Did some preparation for possible future localization.
- Moved some functions to convenience function, added some convenience functions.
- Version 0.2.1
- Fixed a bug that caused all feeds with any non-alphanumeric (including spaces) to not use the stored color.
- Removed a forgotten debug line.
- Version 0.2.0
- Added support for extended view.
- Added preferces to:
- Toggle the coloring of items in the navigation menu.
- Toggle the coloring of list view/extended view.
- Color just the borders instead of the whole feed (for list and extended view).
- Version 0.1.1
- Changed the hover behavior in the settings page so both rows of a subscription get highlighted when hovering one.
- Added the automatic script updater. Let's hope it works.
- Added the option to specify multiple colors when batch-recoloring subscriptions.
- Version 0.1.0
- Initial release.
