Add visual de-emphasis for read articles #500

I find the blue dot to be insufficient hinting for what is read and unread. Some of my other readers lighten the text weight or color for read articles, and find that helps easily have unread articles pop out.

Ditto. Came here intending to create a feature request and saw this one already here. Same things, enclosed is a screenshot of Daring Fireball in NNW4 vs. NNW5. I hugley prefer NNW4 UI.

When all the visible articles are read, so no colored bullets at all, the bold titles "read" as indicating unread articles, to me anyway, since that convention is commonly used to indicate unread things. (It's true, though, that NNW5's convention is more or less what Mail.app uses. Still...)

Additionally, if an article is starred, there is no visual way to determine if an article is read or unread. (Should I file a seperate bug?)
