Google Reader Fluid Userscript

Here’s the result of tinkering with a Google Reader Userscript for Fluid for about 10 minutes… Can somebody please make this better, and post a link to your version in the comments?

Still working on getting a public repository for Fluid Userscripts. Can anyone donate Subversion hosting? :0]

    What about this?

    (function() {
    if (!window.fluid) {
    return;
    }
    function updateDockBadge() {
    var title = document.title || ”, match = title.match(/^.*\((\d+)\).*$/);

    window.fluid.setDockBadge((match && match[1]) || ”);
    }
    setInterval(updateDockBadge, 3000);
    })();

    Also, I’m still seeing a bug with Growl Notifications: the icon for the last-launched Fluid instance is used instead of the icon of the instance sending the notification.

    Jesse, ta a lot for the script, it fixes one of my Google Reader quibbles… now, if user scripts in Fluid could be sticky :).

    I can confirm your observation on Growl notifications. Fluid’s registering of growl notifications seems to be a bit hit and miss ; besides the SSBs, there’s usually a « FluidInstance.app » also registered, and icons of SSBs seem to be assigned somewhat helter skelter (FluidInstance always seems to have the icon of one SSB, not necessarily the last one used, and the others might have an icon, though usually not all of them). I’d have said this is cosmetic, but it gets irritating now that you actually implement Growl notifications. Todd, help, please pretty please ?

    Wow, I also wrote some simple script for my own use, but here’s also the scripts!

    Here’s my code(though it’s much simple and may not be useful at all).

    function getCount()

    I update a little (Reload dock menu added & a little more efficient).

    if (!window.fluid) {

    window.fluid.addDockMenuItem(”Refresh”, readerRefresh);
    setTimeout(getCount, 1000);

    the pressing of “v” to open an item results in an extra google reader item being opened.
