嗯,不错,中文系统下显示效果比较好,其他的皮肤在中文系统下字体都不好看。右侧影响心情的广告也都除掉了。

how can i desactivate this feature?? ''Move the labels to the top left of mail title'' . Because i like them at the side of mail title, so it is more ''compressed''. I love everything else ^^ and signed in, and installed greasymonkey only for this script.

Thanx & Greetings

@pranavy:
I have remove the "!important" of fonts style, this script still works, and should avoid lots of conflict with other scripts.

feedback: works great on widescreen resolutions. new quick link buttons rock.
@pranavy: when you're writing your scripts, add !important after CSS styles you want to have priority over this script.

hi amio,

thanks for the excellent skin for gmail... i am instantly in love with it...
i have a small inconvenience at the moment for which i request your help. how to make sure the message text uses the font that was specified (originally in the message) than using the skin's fonts coded by you ? my concern is only for the "message text".
i am using other script to insert HTML signatures and they are not being displayed as desired :(
thanks in advance for your effort to answer my question.

Thankyou !!! :)

I've been using gmail air skin for a long time, and was so very dissapointed when gmail 2 came out and I could no longer use it ...

to capi:
Update and check the new Quick Link style :)

to Victor:
You can look through the code, where there was a "font-family:", that followed some font type name,
and "font-size:" followed by the font size in pixel, you can modify it to any type or anysize you want.

GREAT Script. I've been using Gmail Air Skin for a long time and welcome this update. Is there any way to change the font type and size though? Thanks.

when viewing threads, the quick links (new window, print all, expand/collapse all, forward all) floats over the header of the first message in thread, depending on fontsize. though gmail default icons are beautiful, those quick links would look better if turned into actual buttons (like "archive", "report spam", "delete", and i hope some day, "mark as read"). wouldn't it?

"Lots of detail adjust" mainly was "add 2px padding to bottom of Web Clip" or "move pointer 2px up" etc, i think these would be too trivial to mention about.

But yes, i should made more description on features of this script :-)
