Bandit Gmail Checker
— Uploaded May 27, 2009Summary: [v0.5] Pops up a small notification if new mail or a new chat message is received.
This is my version of Mozilla's original Gmail Checker. They're now using my code on the official site.
Features:
* If a new message is received, a small pop up (or growl notification on Mac) will pop up showing who the message is from.
* If there is more than 1 new message received, the pop up will show the total new messages received.
* If you receive a chat message inside your Gmail, a pop up will display showing you who's talking to you.
* There are 2 different icons shown - blue for unread messages and red for no unread messages.
* Clicking the icon will take you to the tab with Gmail in it, or if no tabs are open with Gmail, a new one will be opened.
* Automatically detects users with Google Apps (custom gmail domains)
Update 0.5 (31/07/09)
* Improved performance, added support for multiple new chats at once (this was causing buggy behaviour before).
* Fixed bugs with emails being incorrectly detected as chats, or continually popping up.
* Tidied up status icon and new email counter (especially for Mac OSX users).
Update 0.4 (30/07/09)
* Should now automatically detect if you're using Google Apps with your own domain.
