Very nice, I like how the delete button and friends stay locked at the top. One issue I've run into, though, is that when you open a message, the keyboard focus is on the left column. I occasionally use only the keyboard to navigate, and it's a hassle to try to tab my way over to the message so I can hit the space bar to scroll the message. (I have a lot of labels on the left.) Is there some way you could force focus to the message?

Thanks, reid

Update: I actually tried to implement this myself, despite knowing very little about javascript, etc. As you can imagine, I couldn't get it to work. I tried calling focus() on various elements, faking a click on the convDiv... nada. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

This script is very useful, but there's a compatibility issue with the GMailSidePaneWidth script: (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/15741). It would be nice if it could be fixed.

Page is loading continously and it creates more and more triangle buttons.
Could you fix it?

Now, I fixed the script so that it works on Gmail's new internal design.

Unfortunately, this scrip isn't working for me again. When I try to open Gmail, I can't get past the loading screen. Thanks for updating this script when Gmail changes things on their end.

Is there a way to make the top part of Gmail appear automatically? Currently, this script appears to close the top part when Gmail is loaded, and requires the user to click on the arrow button show the top part. I prefer to see the top of the page, because I use the multi-logon script, which sits at the top of the page.

Thanks!

Hi Malonic,

Header and footer handles work as might be expected.

The lehft hand pane doesn't 'fix' when you scroll through a larger male, contactslist etc.

Hi, Jan R.
Ok, I see. So there are three things I want to ask.

1. Is there a handle to open/close the top-pane?
2. Is there a handle to open/close the footer-pane?
3. Is left-pane still unfixed now?

Sorru malonic, I've must been sitting backwards while posting my previous message. It should have been LEFT hand pane (Inbox ...chat....label)

Well, probably I'm misreading what right-pane is.
Is this what you say as "right-pane"?

I loaded up 0.9.6 and the right pane is still moveable.

Hi,Jan R.
What about this(v0.9.6)?

 
Jan 28, 2008
Jan R User

Hi,

looking a little bit further into 0.95 I notice that the 'top part' of this version is working as whised for but the right side pane isn't fixed anymore and that is what gave this nice script it's name :-)

So a little more work to do maloninc.

I've done some testing and the problems with the latest greasemonkey version seemed to have disappeared.

Thnx Malonic

Now, I made it workable with greasemonkey version 0.7.20080121.0.
Please let me know if you find bugs.

I really like this script, but can no longer see my navigational links on the left side. This happened after the greasemonkey upgrade.

Any idea when an update will be available?

Thanks for reporting.
I'm just checking what happen.
