Does anyone know how the Google App in the iPhone forces the "hide" of the Address bar?

(I assume the "Google App" is only a Safari address link, right? And so it would only be some sort of script that makes the address bar slide away?)

Thanks,
Mark

to dsjkvf: It seems new version of GMail always shrinked width of main view to 320 px. I have no clue how to fix this now, sorry

for some unknown reason Gmail converges on my N800 when using this script: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2894/screens...

could someone give me an advise how to abandon it and use Gmail fullscreen?

to lm2:
I like new google reader iphone interface and use it even on laptop. The one thing I would fix in new interface using this script - bar at top with reader logo. But unfortunally cannot find a time for this...
About your problem.. I guess it's possible but need to spend some time to make it work.. Could you please contact me using e-mail, jabber or icq to discuss small things?

Hi Eugene,

Thanks so much for this script. I'm not sure if there is any need to update it to fit with Google Reader's new iphone interface. I know that I am still forced to scroll horizontally to see the number of new items when looking at my list of feeds.

*BUT*, my main interest is this: The bloglines non-iphone mobile interface, the bloglines iphone interface, and the non-iphone google reader mobile interface all have one feature I love: they will force outgoing links in feed items to open with either skweezer.com (bloglines) or else with "http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=[LINKED PAGE'S URL]" in the case of non-iphone google reader mobile.

Since I'm using my n800 with a tether to a not-so-speedy data connection, I love this feature. But the new GR iphone interface doesn't seem to have it. SOOOOO, any chance you could write a version of your script that would force both outgoing links and "See original" to open through skweezer or the that other google proxy?

Pretty please? ;-)

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for the update, I'd tried to mod 0.3 myself without much luck...

On thing I noticed. With the value of 70 for the toolbarHeight I have a white bar at the bottom of the screen. I reduced the value to 35 and no it displays full screen.

Could you try blank value? And please read comment from Peter Elliot. He has a good idea about fast user-agent switching

I forgot to mention....

When you switch the N800 to 'iphone' mode the adress bar holds the link needed to switch to iphone mode - I saved this as a bookmark. I did the same with a blank UserAgent override string, and I can now toggle modes using the two bookmarks.

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for the script. I was trying to do the same thing (having never written a script before) when I found yours. I'd just switched my N800 to iphone spoof and was playing with iphone sites.

Is there any chance of playing with the arrangement/box sizes on the gmail compose page?

I also like the digg iphone site, but the item text can be increased in size (+50%) while keeping the N800 at 100%. Any chance of having a go at that site ;)

Thanks Again,

PJE
