The New Utovsky Bolshevik Show

If you're like me, then you're a big fan of the new Google Reader interface, except when using it on a small screen, where the vertical height it takes up is just too much. The good news is that I've discovered a simple way of fixing this if you're running Google Chrome:

1. Install Minimalist for Google Reader.

2. Open the options dialog.

3. It should open in the "General" tab. If not, click that in the sidebar.

4. Check the "Use custom CSS" option.

5. Paste the following in to the text box:

   #top-bar {
     height: auto;
   }
   
   #search {
     padding: 5px 0;
   }
   
   #logo {
     margin-top: -13px;
   }
   
   #lhn-add-subscription-section {
     height: 35px;
   }
   
   #viewer-header {
     height: 35px;
   }
   
   #viewer-top-controls-container, #lhn-add-subscription {
     margin-top: -17px;
   }
   
   #title-and-status-holder {
     padding: .5ex 0 0 .5em;
   }
   
   #entries-status {
     margin-top: 3px;
   }
   

6. Reload Google Reader.

7. Voila!
