Hi there,

I've nicely organized my feeds into categories or "folders" in Google Reader before I stumbled over your awesome script. I would love to color my folders instead of single feeds, so that similar articles are colored similarly.

I see that there is a difficulty though since a feed can exist in more than one "folder". Maybe multi-color would be a way to go. Would that be possible in any way?

Something like that may be possible. I'll look into it.

Thanks

Any updates on this? Or perhaps an option to choose the color for each feed in the settings?

I'm still waiting for this, too :)

I've been working on the latter options, being able to customize the color on a per-feed basis, and so far I've got it to... well, almost work. The whole interface works fine, it stores the selected colors fine, and restores them, etc. I just haven't got it to use them. Yet. Anyway, I was wondering whether you are interested in this at all kepp. If so, perhaps this could be incorporated into the official version. Anyway, I'll keep working on this, and I'll try to get it to work fully.

I'd love to see the ability to specify color labels for specific folders/feeds. I have a ton of sources I follow, and being able to mark a handful as bright red, and leave everything else as blank, would be absolutely amazing. Something along the lines of what GMail does with labels.

Any progress on this stuff?

Actually, yes. I've been working on this some more, and found that in the end I needed/wanted to change too much to for it to be feasible to rewrite kepp's script, so I've started to rewrite my own version, from scratch. Right now it's in a functional state, I just want to add some finishing touches and then I plan on releasing it.
