How do I change the green font color of the new navbar links.
It clashes horribly with my style.
Still a great hack, by the way

I have a small request....

Would it be possible to make it say 1 new post (in 1 thread), 2 new posts (in 1 thread), 2 new posts (in 2 threads) etc. etc.

Other than that small thing, this hack is great.

[Valter]

It is possible to make. I'll look into it when I have some time.
