Changing reability settings

Changing reability settings
General Posted by callum150 on March 22, 2010

Is there any way to change the readability settings used by gleebox or do you have to just use the bookmark function that their website gives and then access it from gleebox?

There is currently no way to change the settings for the inbuilt read cmd.

You could, however, save the readability bookmarklet in your browser, rename it to something convenient like say ‘read2′ and then execute it as a page command i.e. !read2

Hope that helps.

Also, in a future version, we’ll try and modify the behavior of gleeBox so that if you have a bookmarklet named ‘read’, it takes preference over the default ‘read’ command.

So, just to reiterate, the easiest way of having your own readability options is:

1. Go to http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/
2. Choose your settings and follow instructions to add the bookmarklet. Name the bookmarklet something other than “read”
3. Use !BookmarkletName instead of !read.

Howdy,
I just started using Gleebox full time and I love it.

I’ve found that when I try to invoke my Readability bookmarklet (currently called ‘Now”) Gleebox acknowledges it as the nearest bookmark when I type “!now” but when it executes I always end up with a strange version of the website. (it often looks as though it has simply forgotten to load half of it’s formatting.)

I have re-loaded the exact same page and clicked on the same bookmarklet and it works fine using all of my Readability settings.

Is there an option or something that I have missed?
