We mentioned last week when Google Reader unveiled its new search features, that Jon Hicks' popular skin, which makes Google Reader look somewhat like a Mac application, was broken. Well today Mr. Hicks has released a new version of the skin with support for Reader's new search features.

Other changes in version 1.2 include:

  • Status Bar in the right hand pane now collapses properly to the left when the sidebar is hidden
  • The new sidebar toggle has been replaced by the OS X style splitter bottom left (so now it actually does something!)
  • Loading notification re-instated
  • Search inputs and button restyled (looks best in webkit browsers)
  • The Account bar is now visible — no longer hidden until hover

As always the skin looks great and kudos to Mr. Hicks for having the patience to wade through those nested tables (view source on the Google Reader page sometime). For details on how to install in your favorite browser, head over to Mr. Hicks' site.
