Hi Chimpanzee, Can you send me a screen shot of what you're seeing to support@lovemygadget.com ?

Hi. Thanks for the updated scripts. Just one small thing, I have the medium one installed and it works a treat, except the module box hasn't resized to account for the smaller gadget size. There's now a 100(ish)px gap between the bottom of the iframe and the bottom of the gadget border it's self. Any way to get rid of this?

Check out more script options here that have smaller font options. Also here's more explanation on how to install the scripts.

Chaps, unfortunately I'm new to scripts and am having a bit of trouble getting the nice style for Hotmail to install.

I have greasemonkey and I have downloaded the script but my hotmail gadget still looks the same. Would you mind explaining in simple terms how I get this script working?

cheers
S

@Basss: lol, of course you're right - I actually forgot to include the code which ensures the "News" message is only displayed once.

I've just uploaded a new version of the gadget with the code in place; you may have to clear your cache etc. to get the benefit of only seeing the message once!

It appears to be all of them. Must be a setting in FireFox? I've got JS enabled and have allowed plugins to install from this site.

Nice script!
Now all we need is another Greasemonkey script that gets rid of that annoying: "News ยป Greasemonkey script available for nicer look and feel!"-popup ;o)

Does it happen just for this script or others as well?

When I click 'Install this script', it just displays the code as raw text and doesn't actually install anything. I am using FF 2.0.0.11. Any suggestions?

This script provides several styling and usability enhancements to my iGoogle Hotmail gadget. Becuase the gadget uses an embedded page from MSN Mobile, it is not possible to directly apply style to it and as a result people find it rather ugly.

It does the following things:
- Sets a nicer looking font
- Sets a nicer style for form elements
- Removes the Hotmail logo on top to maximise space
- Removes the mobile phone access keys which have no use in a browser
