Ask HN: Anyone have Google Reader's old stylesheets and JS cached somewhere?

Like many people, I am dissatisfied with Google Reader's new user interface. But rather than whine about it, I want to use a browser plugin to inject different CSS, and maybe some Javascript, into the page.

Unfortunately, the old version of Google Reader is no longer available, so I don't know where to get its stylesheet, its scripts, or samples of the old DOM. Does anyone have cached copies of these resources? Or a way to access the old reader app, even if only temporarily and not backed by the main database? It would be much easier to revert the unwanted changes given access to the original.

(I realize that there are also behavior changes, but Idon't use care about thos. The problems I have with the new Google Reader are all with the stylesheet - symptoms of the fact that it was made by a colorblind person and never tested on a computer. I have no other explanation for the new color scheme, which completely fails to delineate the content from its surroundings, or the gigantic wasteful padding, which makes some sense on tablets but doesn't make sense at all on a laptop.)
