Google have updated the default Reader theme as of today, so this script no longer works.

I edited the script so that it work in new theme.

Hide Code:
document.getElementById('main').style.top = '0';
document.getElementById('lhn-add-subscription-section').style.display = 'none';

Display Code:
document.getElementById('main').style.top = '63px';
document.getElementById('lhn-add-subscription-section').style.display = 'block';

It's not working properly in Opera anymore, there's a lot of whitespace shown on the top and the bottom of the page

Edit: Found why it doesn't work properly, GM_addStyle isn't defined in opera, if you include the following code it's fixed

// Define GM_addStyle for compatibility with opera (http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/operaStuff/userjs/aagmfunctions.js)
if (typeof GM_addStyle == "undefined") {
  function GM_addStyle(css) {
    var heads = document.getElementsByTagName("head");
    if (heads.length > 0) {
      var node = document.createElement("style");
      node.type = "text/css";
      node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
      heads[0].appendChild(node); 
    }
  }
}

however, on firefox it works rockingly great!

Really great script Scott.

Anyway to remove the star and >> symbol next to a post ?

I removed the "Friends'shared items" box and expansion line by adding "friends-tree-container" and "chrome-lhn-toggle" to the var ids but no luck with those. (I'm a noob at this.)

Firebug tell me that their names are

The name were div class="entry-icons and div class="entry-title-go-to", didn't show up because I left the arrow symbols before and after.

It's working now by adding style :
GM_addStyle(".entry-icons { display:none !important; }");
GM_addStyle(".entry-title-go-to { display:none !important; }");

Thank you Scott.

I'm having some trouble getting the script to "stick".. as in, I'd like it to be minimalized every time I load Google Reader. Right now I need to hit 'w' each time I load reader.

Any idea? If it matters, it's FF 3.0.4 on OS X 10.5.5.

Thanks! Awesome script!

Scott, appreciate your work, but the W functionality is still broken for me. I still have to resize to fix the whitespace, and it doesn't remember the w-position. I'm on FF3.05 on Vista. Thanks!

My screen resolution is 1280x800, and it happens regardless of whether or not I have the ff window maximized. When I open google reader in ff, it always opens in the default state, with the header and sidebar showing. The sidebar toggles normally, but when I toggle the header away with 'w' it leaves a white space at the bottom of the window. If I resize the window or fullscreen with f11, the white space disappears and google reader appears as it should.

It also does not remember that I have the header toggled to not show when I refresh the page, or when I close and open ff.

I have tried both.

The sidebar does not stay hidden either. I am not running any other scripts (I got greasemonkey specifically for this script).

Also, there's that whitespace at the bottom of the screen when I use 'w'.

Same thing is happening to me.. everything works fine on my XP box, but I can't get it going on my mac. I disabled all of my other scripts and I'm not running the lifehacker add-ons.

Ah, got it, went through and disabled all of my add-ons one-by-one. Google gears was the problem for me.

Ok, yeah, I can confirm that it's google gears, or, at least it behaves differently with gears disabled. Now it just defaults to the top menu hidden and the sidebar showing, which is how I like it anyway, so that's fine. It would be nice if it played nice with gears, though.
