Super iGoogle

Last update on Jun 25, 2008

Compacts iGoogle: Moves search field to tab bar, rounds tabs, removes header / footer, can toggle header

That's right! Ladies and gentlemen, iGoogle just got super! Get rid of those waste-of-space headers and footers, Super iGoogle gives you a mini search form on the tab-bar instead! You can even toggle the header if you want to see the logo or use the advance form features. The "Add Stuff" link is moved to the neater position of the top-right link bar and your email address is made into a hyperlink to compose an email with the "@googlemail" removed for even more extra space. How about eye-candy? We've got eye-candy! Or should I say iCandy: All of your tabs will have rounded corners — making you look even more hip and sophisticated in front of your friends and co-workers. I assure you, you won't want to remember how your iGoogle homepage was before you got SUPER IGOOGLE!

Summary:

  • Header removed
  • "Toggle Header" button added to top-right link-bar
  • Footer removed
  • Mini search form added to right-hand side of tab bar
  • "Add stuff" link moved to top-right link-bar
  • "@googlemail.com" removed from your e-mail address
  • Your e-mail address is made a hyperlink to compose a new e-mail
  • All tab corners are rounded
  • You'll get all the girls

Super-geeky features:

  • If you click on the "Images" link, the text from the mini search field will be copied to the google images form
  • If the header isn't removed straight away, start typing into the old search field and your text & cursor will be copied to the new field when it is ready
  • Your cursor will automatically be focused on the correct text field whenever you click "Toggle Header"

Any feature requests then leave a comment. I'll probably do 'em if they're reasonable.

Cheers, guys. Glad you got it working, masterrossi. Must be the time difference: I'm GMT.

Any other problems then give me a shout!

lol, i reinstalled it and now it works.

really weird, though i am 100% sure that i had the latest one because i installed the script the first time when i was sick at home, which was the 25th in the afternoon CET+1.

Anyhow it works now, so that's cool.

Yeah, sure, masterrossi. First of all, though, have you definitely got the latest version of the script? (it was updated on 25/06/08 to fix a bug with your described symptoms.)

If you definitely have, could you please tell me what what top-level domain you are using (are you using google.com/ig or google.co.uk/ig etc.)

Cheers!

I like this script but for some strange reason everything in my igoogle is shifted to the right.
On the left side of the screen I get one empty column, where I can't put anything.
I use the newest greasemonkey and ff 3.0.

Can you help me on resolving this problem?

Thanks a lot, CPadar. You know, I noticed the whole 4th column being removed too. I thought it was just a bug. Anyway, I figured out a work around for it:

How to get four columns in iGoogle

Cheers!

Great script! Google got rid of the four-column option in your screen shot. I thought it was some magic from your script. Still very cool.
