Thank you so much for this script. It definitely makes GReader much easier on the eyes, especially when you have a few hundred feeds to dig through. Much MUCH easier to filter this way!

There's one small issue I've noticed for about a month, though. If a friend with a GReader shared feed has any items included in the list, those items are left uncolored. That would be fine, except ALL items below the friend's feed become uncolored as well. All items above the feed are colored normally.

Upon reading the friend's items and refreshing GReader, everything gets colored as it should.

I haven't had a chance to crack open the code to see if there's anything I can do, but if anything is needed on my end, let me know and I'll be happy to take a look.

Thanks again!

@mexander I'll see what I can do, if I can get it to work.
@BoZo that sounds doable, I'll try and add a pref for it.

This scripts works great. BTW it would be nice if you added the secure url (https) too.

 
mexander User

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.

 
BoZo User

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.

 
Bogus83 User

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!

 
Brierley User

disregard my last comment, i figured it out :) thanks for the script.

 
Brierley User

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?

 
Thadk Scriptwright

like the hover, thanks.

 
kepp Script's Author

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.

 
Thomas Adrian 2 User

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
