I use Google IG as my homepage in Safari. For those of you who don't know, Google IG is a page where you can setup a variety of RSS feeds and arrange them too your liking. I love Google IG, but if you go to Google IG (http://google.com/ig), you can see the design is pretty ugly. Blue text on a white background. Pretty boring and ugly to me.

Here comes the question:

Is there any way I can make the Google IG page look better using a custom style sheet aplied using PithHelmet?

I have tried doing this but Google puts its CSS code directly in the HTML code of the page, not in an external style sheet.


If there is absolutly no way to do this, is there anything other than Google IG that offers a similar service?


Why be trapped behind Windows and Gates when you can live freely with a Mac.

I don't know how the PithHelmet custom style sheets thing works, but have you tried using the !important directive?

you don't need Pith Helmet to use custom CSS in Safari. Check Prefs->Advanced and add your own.

you can hook into a few id attributes like "cpnl" and "cpnlc" and probably others that there's no way I'm digging through that atrocious source to find.
