My google reader

I am very lazy. And like any sloth, I really like little nishtyaki, which allow you to do less, and get more. The most beneficial acquisitions for me over time were the technology of RSS and Google Reader. They allowed us not to spend a lot of time hanging around the websites, but to open the window of one program and see everything I need there. I try to drag everything into GR that I read more or less constantly - LiveJournal, Habrahabr (oh sorry, Facebook turned off the newsfeed broadcast), alerts from services, about new products (email2rss), news about new albums of favorite groups, etc. d. etc.
Even a rented apartment, and she is looking for using RSS - just parse cian.ru and view new ads for my parameters. )

But that’s what I’ve been in the “regular” GR has always killed: this is how much free space is spent (especially vertically). Just see how much free space is eaten by the logo, search, button "add subscription":


And the pixels in the vertical are only 800.

What to do?


In the process, I came across an interesting resolution for FF: Better GReader . Along with some uselessness, it offers a choice of several skins for the Google reader, including Absolutely Compact , with it almost what was needed, but, in my opinion, the author overdid it for the sake of minimalism:


Well, why was to remove the links bar at the top of the screen? And to change the font and size of the title of articles? And the search bar in this embodiment looks like something nekuzyavo.

I needed just a couple of things: remove the logo, the button "add a subscription" and move the search bar. Unfortunately, none of the scripts offered such functionality. I had to pick up the GreaseMonkey checker . A couple of evenings and with the help of friends, a script was born, which I called My Google Reader. He does exactly the three things listed and only them. Here’s what Google Reader looks like in my version:


If you like, you can install (Firefox):

• Click to install greasemonkey
• Click to install the script my google reader

That's all. I hope that was a little useful. )

PPS: Actually, I lack one more thing, but I have not yet been able to implement it. When opening a folder (for example, corporate-blogs), I would like the drop items (All items), which select the search area, to be automatically set to the current folder. Something like “search this folder”. Very, very desirable. )
