Google Reader Notifier 1.0.2
Another very small update for the Google Reader Notifier… now when you double-click on the icon, it’ll immediately take you to the Google Reader homepage. I have no clue why I didn’t add that in the first place.
As always, leave feature requests in the comments.

The moving icon is an idea I have pondered…
Are you saying it doesn’t work with Google Reader with a non-gmail.com email address?
Or are you expecting this to be a gmail notifier? This only alerts you for Google Reader (rss reader)

Yes i used non-gmail.com email address, and it don’t showed any notification. I changed to gmail.com address and this app worked. So something diffren with non gmail acounts.
I haven’t time yesterday to look to your code to inspect diffrences gmail and non gmail acount…maybe after christmas i’ll have time.

The userid is set to just a -, which will always login the currently logged in user. I’m not sure what you mean by icon loading… there’s no status for that.
That is the correct URL. It’s also the url that the other google reader checkers use.

Thanks for the update and dropping by my blog. I replied to your comment but I’ll put it in here since you didn’t get to read it.
“it’d be great if the notification is a native Windows notification popup balloon of the systray icon. Just like Bloglines’ Notifier.”
Others might prefer the way it works right now. Maybe just an option for that.

That’s a good thought with the windows notification…. I had actually originally built it that way, but then went with the more graphical version because it looked similar to the gmail notifier.
I don’t see any reason why I couldn’t make it an option, though. I still have the code for the old version.

Cool! Thanks! What language did you use to write this?

It’s written in C# / .NET 1.1
I’ve found that using .NET 1.1 is about the easiest way you can create an application that also runs on the majority of windows computers, since .net 1.1 is installed as part of XP SP2.

Feature suggestion: How about display the headline and limited summary of new items (just like gmail notifier)
Otherwise I really like it! Thanks!
