NetNewsWire styles
NetNewsWire is the Mac application that satisfies my feed reading needs.

jDefault – JavaScript style template for NetNewsWire
jDefault is a bare-bones NetNewsWire style that loads my image resizing JavaScript, and the jQuery library it uses, into the default NetNewsWire template. To ‘enable’ any existing style built without a custom template.html file, simply replace the contained stylesheet.css with the corresponding file from your selected style.

Ollicle Wittrodt – NetNewsWire style

Ollicle X-ray – NetNewsWire style
An excuse to play with possiblities offered by generating content with CSS, this experimental stylesheet still proves occasionally useful for a quick look under the hood of the markup of the viewed news item.
