Hi Maloninc,
The arrow in the foot of the Gmail is very bad... In the part of new styles change:

border: 12px none transparent;

for...

border: 7px none transparent;

That was my contribution...

In "Compose Mail", the GMail logo moves down (equal that all the page). Very soon I report more bugs... And .. You cannot get the arrow disappear?

// sorry for my english, is very bad //

actually, this script seems real buggy.
i have issues with scrolling.
and inconsistent fixed areas depending what i'm viewing in gmail, a conversation, or list of mails in the inbox, or all mail, etc.

and that black arrow that tells you which email you were just looking at, that's been screwy with this script too

maloninc, love the new version enhancements, but

1) I noticed if I am in a folder with a small number of emails I get a lot of white space below the listing, so I cannot see my google reader or footer unless I scroll down. Can that be changed?

2) Can the bottom arrow be defaulted to show the footer. Right now it is defaulting as closed. Is there a setting I can change in the script?

Hi RivetingOne, probably I misunderstood what you called "header".
Could you tell me which it is the following?

HEADER1

HEADER2

I don't see any difference in the version 0.9.7 BETA
2007/09/13. The header in the email view is still not fixed.

It makes your firefox slow as you use it long time.
Because it call settimeout function unnecessarily.
So I fixed this bug now.

hmm, I guess I fixed also when viewing the contents of an email like my third screen shot.
Was'nt it your change request?

maloninc, Great job, you fixed it for the Inbox view, but the same change should also be made when viewing the contents of an email.

maloninc — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 01:13:52 +0000

Fixed again, I forgot one of RivetingOne's change request.

It also leaves navigation menu above email text viewer now.

Hi, creyle. Thanks again for reporting the bug.
I fixed it just now.

hmm, there's a bug in fixArrow(), in the line arrow.style.top = "140px".

The problem is when turning page in the k-direction, then the bug "works", the arrow should be in the last line, not the first line, the fix:

arrow.style.top = (parseInt(arrow.style.top) - 13) + "px";

In fixCompose(), it's better to have:
foot.parentNode.style.paddingLeft = "21ex";
and to remove the unused var cont. (my fault:P)

And, menu.height = body.clientHeight - 84 is perfect.

Hi maloninc, yes I forgot to relocate the compose component, your work rocks!

Again, nothing could stop improving, here's more:

1. scrollbar changed with overflow-x:hidden and overflow-y:auto
2. the footer also pushed to the right to align with cm_compose
3. now nav.z-index=1 to not covered by the logo

cheers, also for the overwhelmingly powerful firebug :P

function fixLogo() { var ds = document.getElementById('ds_inbox'); if (ds != null){ ds.style.position = "fixed"; ds.style.paddingTop = 0; } else { setTimeout(fixLogo, 500); } }



function fixMenu() {

	var cont = document.getElementById('co');

	var menu = document.getElementById('nav');

	if (cont != null && menu != null){

		cont.style.marginLeft = "20ex";

		menu.style.overflowX = "hidden";

		menu.style.overflowY = "auto";

		menu.style.position = "fixed";

		menu.style.height   = document.body.clientHeight - 59;

		menu.style.width    = "20ex";

		menu.style.zIndex   = 1;

	} else {

		setTimeout(fixMenu, 500);

	}

}

function fixArrow() {

	var arrow = document.getElementById('ar');

	var foot  = document.getElementById('ft');

	if (arrow != null && foot != null) {

		arrow.style.left = "200px";

		arrow.style.top  = "140px";

		foot.parentNode.style.paddingLeft = "20ex";

	} else {

		setTimeout(fixArrow, 500);

	}

}

function fixCompose() {

	var cmps = document.getElementById('cm_compose');

	var cont = document.getElementById('co');

	var foot = document.getElementById('ft');

	if (cmps != null && cont != null && foot != null) {

		cmps.style.paddingLeft = "31px";

		foot.parentNode.style.paddingLeft = "20ex";

	} else {

		setTimeout(fixCompose, 500);

	}

}

fixLogo(); fixMenu(); fixArrow(); fixCompose();

It works as perfectly for me. Yahoo mail, along with almost every other 3 panel GUI has works this way, where the top and left navigation panels stay fixed when the body panel is scrolled.

Change request: Also leave the navigation menu ABOVE the email selections fixed. This way I can always see the buttons for 'Select All, None, etc' 'Archive, and 'Delete', even after scrolling down in the email list or when viewing the email text itself.

Update again.
Move right the compose area to 30px.
It only works when you click "Compose Mail".

Can't help to enhance it.

changes:
1. move up the logo, I use better gmail, so the logo now won't cover the expand/collapse gmail links.
2. widen the navigation a to 20ex, orginally 16.6ex, better for long label name or chat buddy name.
3. because of 2, the arrow has to be shifted to the right to 200px.

Cheers!
