FeedLight is an RSS reader style for NetNewsWire and Vienna. Designed to be simple and compact yet flexible, it allows you to focus on what matters most: the content. The download package includes three color variants: Aqua, Graphite, and Metal.

• Download FeedLight for NetNewsWire
• Download FeedLight for Vienna

The NetNewsWire and Vienna versions of FeedLight are identical save for one difference: the NetNewsWire version features a fixed header that remains at the top of the window as you scroll. The constraints of Vienna’s template system made it unfeasible to implement this.

Also note that the NetNewsWire version of the style hides some article details that are normally displayed (namely: categories, author links, and comment links) in order to reduce visual clutter. However, you can unhide these details by simply removing or commenting out the respective display:none; lines near the beginning of the stylesheet. (Right-click on the .nnwstyle file, select Show Package Contents, and open stylesheet.css in a text editor.)
