Howdy kepp...love your script so much that I can't do without it. I'm testing out Google Chrome and noticed that my Google Reader is without colors after placing your script in the appropriate directory for Chrome :(. Any thoughts or plans on porting it to Google Chrome? I'd be willing to help with the modification but not sure where to start. I guess I could start looking at the 'Guides' section of userscripts to start but if you know of a better place, let me know. I would obviously send you the changes if I could get it to work.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Just an FYI...I found this error using Chrome's developer tools (similar to Firebug output) when visiting my GReader page. Going to research it further...:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getItem' of null chrome-user-script:/8782.user.js:445

Chrome support is added. note: this will still break if you have DOM Storage enabled (don't use the --enable-local-storage flag)

I'm using dev channel Chromium and used the new feature to simply "install" this. Is there anything special I should be doing. It does not appear to be working for me. Thanks - this is one of my essentials!

Hi,each time I need to make Greader's setting ,then those RSS items will be colorful. Next time, once I access the greader again, those color settings were all lost.

@vdegeorge @lilarcor thanks for letting me know it wasn't working. I verified it doesn't work on dev channel, though it should work on trunk. I will be trying to push a fix tomorrorow.

I didn't do enough testing. the problem is that Chrome dev channel puts in placeholders for GM functions that I didn't expect to be there.

kepp, thanks a lot for all the hard work. As silly as it sounds, your script could possibly be the final push that sends me to chrome. :) Just curious and possibly slightly off topic, however, is there any way I can see a diff between what you had before you made it compatible with Chrome and now? Thanks again!

@eatiusbirdius changes can be viewed by clicking on the "Source Code" tab at the top of the page. It's messy though, since I push through lots of other changes as well. changes made for Chrome are in the 11/11 and 11/20 updates, though there's a lot of other stuff in there as well. you can search for "google chrome" to find the specific changes.

@billclinton you shouldn't need to do anything other than install it on a recent version of Chrome. are you getting any error messages in the console?

Hello kepp,

Thanks for this script.

I normally use this on Firefox under Mac OS X and it works fine. But when I use it under Chrome (5.0.307.9) under OS 10.6.2 it doesn't work.

I've tried running it with all my other extensions and script disabled and it doesn't work.

This version of Chrome does seem to have flaky JavaScript support - the captcha for this site doesn't appear for instance - but I can't find anything about JavaScript not working in Chrome for Mac.

Below is the code from the console for the Greader window.

Any idea what's going on? Apart from Chrome for Mac being dodgier?

@richardc the problem you're having may be that the script's include rules:

// @include http://www.google.com/reader/*
// @include https://www.google.com/reader/*

don't cover the google.co.uk domain? You'd have to manually edit it before install.
I also just did an update for the script, so you can try that to see if that resolves the issue.

I tried the updated script, but it didn't work under Chrome 5.0.307.11 beta.

I know absolutely nothing about coding, but I've tried adding the following to the script.
// @include http://www.google.co.uk/reader/*
// @include https://www.google.co.uk/reader/*

That didn't work. Then I tried changing the google.com/reader/ references to:
// @include http://www.google.*/reader/*
// @include https://www.google.*/reader/*

Neither change got the script working either.

Actually, the script using google.* has started working now.
