Prism, essentially Firefox without toolbars, is an interesting new twist in the web app world. When I tried it on Windows, though, it was hardly usable. Since then, I’ve switched to Linux, and I thought I’d give Prism another try, mostly due to Firefox crashing because I was running Pandora Radio constantly.

Surprisingly, performance is a lot better on Linux! So I thought, why stop at Pandora? I use Gmail and Google Reader every day so those seemed like good candidates for Prism. Unfortunately, icon creation for Prism shortcuts doesn’t work yet, and I couldn’t find any good icons for Google apps so I had to make my own. Here’s what my sidebar looks like now:
