    Thanks, that’s great, but IMHO, you need to consider interaction with NoScript.

    It dosn’t work properly – lost labels in menu (actually it’s bug in both Your addons – Readability after updating to 1.0 is also broken)

    It is because of the personas skins you use. Inform the author of the Personas that it breaks statusbar panel colors. After you deactivate your current personas the labels will have their original color again.

    I like this and I appreciate all the options you give for width and font size (Although of course I’d like light yellow with regular black for my colors).

    After using this for a while it would be nice to have a choice of hyperlink color. The light blue is distracting.

    “Font” preference doesn’t seem to work on Google Reader (https://www.google.com/reader/).

    Reader OFF ==> http://yfrog.com/ncreaderoffp
    Reader ON, Medium size font ==> http://yfrog.com/jureadermediumonp
    Reader ON, Extra size font ==> http://yfrog.com/n3readerextralargeonp

    Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows XP.

    NOTE – I’ve been able to reproduce the problem ONLY on Google Reader. All other Reader preferences (Font, Box-width, Inner margin, ecc…) work fine.

    Boris, sorry, can you speak russian? Otherwise, I think you are great programmer, today I start use Reader, it’s so delicious! And I will ask you, please add option to cut scroll bar on Reader, because it will be so similar and tasty, like Reader in Safary 5, even better! Thank you for your work!

    Thank You. I am Blind. And have to use a Screen Magnifier. This is sweet for resizing Text. Stylish sent me to you.

    Eline sağlık Barış. Bir ara yine kurmuştum, çok da hoşuma gitmişti fakat fare ile aşağı yukarı kaydırma özelliği çalışmayınca kaldırmak zorunda kalmıştım. Şimdi tekrar baktım artık çalışıyor. İreader kullanmıyoruz artık. Sayenizde. Thanks.
