Mime.css enhancements for feeds

feed, customization, opera, screenshot, userstyle, css

Here are a few lines I've added to my mime.css, to make newsfeeds look a little nicer:

/* for feed content in general */

div.feedContent {font-family: serif;}

/* 'tags' in Tantek's feed as a small inline list
http://tantek.com/log/posts.atom
*/

h4.tags {display: run-in; font: bold smaller sans-serif;
 margin: 0; padding: 0 .5em 0 0;}
ul.tags {display: block; font: smaller sans-serif;
 margin: 0; padding: 0;}
ul.tags li {display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
ul.tags li a {text-decoration: none;}

/* permalink links bold red small */

div.feedContent + p > a {text-decoration: none; 
color: red; font: bold smaller sans-serif;}

This should work well with the default mime.css stylesheet. I've also got a completely restyled mime.css which tries to use the system colors more, and is a bit 'classier'. That's the one you see in the screenshot.

Get the stylesheet here.

Edit: For Opera 9 beta, add this to the 'browser.css' file instead.

It's a very nice design, much more elegant than original. Great job!

I have added those lines to my mime.css but see no difference at all...

Have you got prefer plain text on? You need to prefer HTML to see the effects I think.

Tried that as well, no go.

Thanks Mr.Rijk. I was surprised that you wrote comment in my blog. Now I corrected the URL.
And You had better correct the URL in your website, too　;-)

I loved it. In Opera9 (TP2) is not working nor I can get it to work, may I hope for a future adjustment of yourmime.css?

@helas:

I know , bit of a bummer for me... Some coding changes are required in Opera, as it is now not using the author/user mode settings anymore for the mail/news/feed display.

I hope to get this option back in one way or another.

Would it be possible to get this to work for future versions of Opera?

The new IE7 points of note in a review or two, include the fact that its RSS reader is more aesthetically pleasing than Opera's...

Being able to make the newsfeed/mail areas prettier would be a bonus - definitely make Opera look more shiny *__*
