Samurai Coder

Check out this article on Download Squad!.

Jay Hathaway:

Samurai Coder is a cool green theme with a nice, compact header. It also includes ad-blocking code that obliterates the pesky FeedBurner footers that appear on lots of popular feeds. Grab it for a unique look that happens to complement the Download Squad colors quite nicely.

I will work on a new version when time permits.

I tweaked the CSS file a bit and added ad-blocking code shared by Oliver Taylor. Looks crean, I hope. Download the file here. Real world screenshots will follow.

Change logs

• More compact in many ways
• “Date” is renamed to “At”
• “Posted By” is renamed to “By”

I am releasing my NetNewsWire Style, Samurai Coder (under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License). This is quite simple a style with no graphics. Every meta content (such as source, poster’s name, tags/categories/subject and a link to comments) is located on top, packed in a compact yet readable space. I would suggest you set your font size at 12-14pt. Also, this style does not dispay a FeedBurner’s friendly footer as shown below:

The image is not visible because I added the code below in my CSS file.

.feedflare {
    display: none;
}

But, I regret to tell you that you still need to see a banner graphic, which is, in my case, almost always about MasterCard. I don’t know how many people want another credit card. We already have a credit card because all of us purchased a copy of NetNewsWire online, don’t we?

There are some codes that I need to clean up. I’ll post a better one if I did it for me.

Update: I updated the code a little. Check here for details.
