gRead
NEW: v1.1 Now you don’t need to keep compulsively reloading Google Reader - gRead will keep an eye on your account and let you know when there’s something to get stuck into, through its built-in Growl support and on your Dashboard. And all it takes is a click to get you there! Download ยป
v1.1 fixes bugs, including grammar and the colour of icons in notifications, and now tries to reconnect periodically after an error.
Don’t like the badge? Maybe you’d rather have big, bold blocks of colour to catch your eye. Option-click the “i” button to go to gRead’s advanced preferences. In “Colour” mode, blue means nothing new; green says there are a few new items; and red shows there’s plenty of new reading material.
Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.3 or greater is required. If you’re using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, the widget installer appears. Click Install if you want the widget installed on your Mac. If you’re using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive and open it to show the widget installer.
