Tidy up Google Reader

I’m mostly a fan of Google’s new styling but it just doesn’t work for me in Reader. I use Reader every day on my work machine and I’m deeply worried about the current buzz on the interwebs about its bleak future.

In the mean time, I’ve installed the User CSS Safari extension and have tweaked Reader’s look to give me back that all important vertical space with the following:

#viewer-header
{
  height:40px !important;
}

#lhn-add-subscription-section
{
  height:40px !important;
}

#top-bar
{
  display:none;
}

it’s a bit of a hack, but it works for me!

Edit: for the anti-+ crowd, add this bit to drop the +1 button:

.item-plusone {display:none !important;}
