"Ballard 21st Century" NetNewsWire Theme

I’ve been using NetNewsWire 3 again, ever since the Black Pixel folks started releasing maintenance updates for it. I really love Silvio Rizzi’s Reeder app, but I’m kind of torn. I really love the ability to change fonts in my RSS Reader, and as far as I’m aware, you can’t do that in his app.

Since NetNewsWire allows user stylesheets, I decided to make a small modification to Pat Dryburgh’s version of Brent Simmon’s original “Ballard” NetNewsWire theme.

The only changes I made were upping the font size to 18px and using justification, with proper hyphenation of course.

This is a NetNewsWire 3 theme, so if you’re still using that as your RSS reader, you can download my version and give it a go. By the way, I gave this a new name and called it “Ballard 21st Century,” however I did add some comments in the stylesheet crediting Brent and Pat.

Thank you to reader Ben K. for pointing out that you can in fact change the default font in Reeder. Just go to Preferences > Reading > Article font to change it. I have mine set to Palatino at 18px.
