Hack the N95’s News reader template

As you may have already know, the Nokia N95 runs S60 platform 3rd edition, Feature Pack 1 and it means that it comes with new improved Safari browser and improved RSS reader. Feed reader now supports the Atom format (in addition to RSS) and the browser renders feeds in html format.

Previously, feeds could only be viewed as short text only summaries while the new version is capable to process and show, images, full text and links in html format which is incomparable better solution, but..unfortunately, the main layout/template isn’t as good as it should be and therefore the whole concept doesn’t looks very well – But boy do we have something for you!

Text size is simply too large and it makes feed really hard to use and not eye friendly. Even worse, feed reader isn’t affected by the font settings in the browser itself and there is no way to change the font size just like that. Of course, as a real freak I have already found solution and right settings and after hack it looks much better but I know that average S60 user don’t know how to do it and how to change the html template. Anyway, after many user requests and questions over at our forum section, Ask guru form and Shoot box, we have decide to stop it, to make template and simple guide how to hack Feed Reader template.
