Writing Room 4 Google Documents

Allows to toggle the header bar and the footer in Google documents, providing more room for working. Tested in Greasemonkey (firefox) and Greasekit (safari)

Heh. When procrastination brings productivity. I was working in Google Documents on my thesis, and felt that something wasn’t quite right. The header was taking too much space and on my 13.3” widescreen every vertical pixel is precious.
So I came up with this tiny Greasemonkey script that allows to toggle the header bar in Google documents, providing more room for working. Plus I didn’t really feel like working on the thesis ;-)

Thanks to Brian Jepson for updating the script for the footer.

Thanks for sharing this script with us. It is a great little tool to "steal" some screen space back so we can just work and not have the "over head" of wasted space to look at. Very handy and very little and inconspicuous. Great job!

I fixed the "include" url scheme.
Now it works with documents opened from a GMail attachment.

Apparently google changed the URL scheme.
I'll update the script as soon as I find time (hopefully later today)

Thanks a lot Brian! Looks really nice, I'll update the script with this new version and modify the description as soon as I find a minute to do so :)
Thanks again, I'm glad you found it useful.

Looks like my attempt at pasting in some code failed. This link should work: http://jepstone.net/downloads/writingroom2.txt

This is great-just what I needed! If you modify the code to also hide bottom_chrome, you can get rid of the line at the bottom that reads Check Spelling and get another line or to. 

var link;
link=document.createElement("div");
link.innerHTML="
