Hacking Net News Wire

I’ve never liked 3 pane interfaces, and the interface for Net News Wire lite was bothering me. So I hacked it up with project builder. The Results:

NNW

I like having a longer area for reading the feeds. So I moved the articles under the subscriptions pane. I switched it over to the metal interface because I like it. I also removed the left and right window borders because they server no real purpose, and it make it more resemble Safari. I also used the smaller scroll bars to save in horizontal space for the subscriptions and articles panes.

I’m also using a mini-techgoesboom css style to render the feeds.

This layout suits my feed reading style a lot better. If anyone else is interested in the hacked .nib file, let me know.
