Can switch(hide/show) the header, navigation bar and ads by clicking the triangle icon on top,left or right respectively. It effectively maximizes screen real estate for information you consider important. I typically hide all 3 to max message space.

The original code written for Google Calendar is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8507 by margin. I found margin's calendar version very helpful so I applied it to GMail.
