OBSOLETE:
Please use Gmail - Seamless Integration (Google Calendar, Reader, Notebook, etc...) with Collapsible Inbox for Standard GMail and GMail Apps instead.



New Script: Now you can collapse your inbox also! Get it here Gmail - Collapsible Inbox. Works best when used with GCal/GReader/GNotebook- Header Removal in IFrames. Combines nicely with Gmail - Google Reader Seamless Integration and Gmail - Google Notebook Seamless Integration.

Known Issues:

  • Calendar navbox is forced to load open every time because the way the calendar determines font size. If box is closed at loading the text is too small to read in certain views.
  • If the reader/calednar (when loaded in its own page) is zoomed it can cause the gmail page to change zooms. It can be resolved but resetting the zoom of the reader/calednar (when loaded in its own page.) Possible temporary work around is disable firefox from recalling zoom levels by going to about:config and setting browser.zoom.siteSpecific to false. This I believe is a firefox bug and has been submitted to bugzilla.
Known Conflicts:
  • It does not play well with NoScript since it blocks iframes by default. This can be disabled to fix the problem.
