Are you using it as a chrome extension or webapp? Or is it separate from the browser? I beamed in and subscribed asking to transfer google feeds but saw no results. -- Owen On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Tom Johnson <[hidden email]> wrote: All: ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com |

It's really very pretty. I've been using it both on Chrome and Galaxy S3. The problem I have with it on chrome is that the text is mainly in grey, and there seems to be no way to make it darker. Also, it's a bit confusing how to adjust the settings as you want them. Finally, there is Help and a Forum, but it's not easy to find. All-in-all, though, I'm using it because I haven't found anything better. And as I said, it is really pretty.

Russ: Did you upgrade Feedly? I think the latest version may take care of -- or help with -- the contrast thing. -tom On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 11:24 AM, Russ Abbott <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thanks, Tom,
This is related to one of my complaints. I see no way to ask Feedly (on Chrome) to upgrade itself. I went to the list of Chrome extensions, which has a link to the Feedly website. (When I run Feedly, I don't see a link to the Feedly website from the tab in which it is running.) On the website, a button lets me "launch Feedly." When I do it looks the same as always. The text color is grey, and I can find no way to make it darker. Am I missing something?

Agree w/ Russ. I found it quite confusing and really have no idea whether or not I've got it right. I tried just using their site, presuming there'd be a "webapp" like Google had.
I couldn't find one so I enabled the chrome extension. That brought up a page that looked promising. There is a help page for getting to a look like GR.

I liked the look and feel of the Galaxy app, but I was unable to find one for Windows.
As I said, the Chrome extension is really quite pretty. Much nicer than Google Reader. I expect that I'll be happy with it. I just wish I could make the font darker. (Tom, I don't have a problem with font readability anywhere else.)
