Here we go, I think I found a way to make the post readable

<xmp>
Yeah, and they hint that more changes are coming. You might want to just wait a bit to update it.

But don't give up Mark, I'm still using this. (Although modified, see below)

I originally loved this script just to see the feed name at the top. They fixed that now, but I still can't read the small font so I went ahead and fixed a couple of things.

The fontsize code still mostly works, but they started playing around with "line-height" so you have to override that too.

divsPostDivArray[i].style.fontSize = '1.3em';
divsPostDivArray[i].style.lineHeight = '1.3em';

If you want the old "every other post is bluish" look back, you can do this

//* Alt-Entry Border *//
if(useOutlinesForAlternatingStories == 'true'){
var allEntries, thisEntry;
allEntries = document.evaluate(
"//DIV[@class='entry'][position() mod 2 = 0 ]",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
for (var i = 0; i < allEntries.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisEntry = allEntries.snapshotItem(i);
thisEntry.style.border = '1px solid '+altOutline;
thisEntry.style.backgroundColor = altBackground;
}

allEntries = document.evaluate(
"//DIV[@class='entry-line']",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
for (var i = 0; i < allEntries.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisEntry = allEntries.snapshotItem(i);
thisEntry.parentNode.removeChild(thisEntry);
}
}

and then set 'altOutline' and a new 'altBackground' to whatever. I used

var altOutline = '#C6DDF2';
var altBackground = '#F0F8FF';

</xmp>

OK, text formatting does not stick in these comments.

Umm, cut and paste the part between "you can do this" and "and then set"

As I've only started using NG, I don't know if they've maybe changed anything. Regardless, I got the Tip hider working by changing "if(document.getElementById('content').innerHTML.indexOf('
To display posts for a particular feed or folder, select the feed or folder from') > 0){"
to "if(document.getElementById('content').innerHTML.indexOf('Get the most out of NewsGator Online') > 0){". Thanks again.

First off, thanks for this excellent script Mark.

I have been using bloglines, but when I saw your post in the flickr Hacks group mentioning this script and suggesting newsgator I decided to give it a go. So far I am loving it, and this script has an awful lot to do with that.

I can't get the Tip hider to work, but I am assuming that is my problem and I'll figure out why sooner or later. I do have a feature suggestion though, if it is possible and if you have time, it would be great to be able to see the number of unread articles in the title bar.

OK, It wasn't too hard to make code to change the text size for the posts. Just added another DIV array for 'postdiv' and it works just fine.

Thanks again for the great script.

Mark, This script is great. Moving the feed name up to the top of each post is worth the install alone. The only thing I'd like to see added (and I've tried to code it myself and keep messing up) is the ability to increase the overall post text size/font the same as you did for the title.

Great work.
