hey guys. Sorry, I haven't worked on this script in some time. I will try to add some more features if its still being used (over the iGoogle themes)

 
Scott C User

I love this script, it just doesn't work too great with the Hong Kong theme I've been using.

 
greg macpherson User

just curious, are you going to add in the tab coloring?

 
hac Script's Author

Greg - email me a screenshot. contact info in the script. :)

Sam - yep, it's one of my daily reads. glad I stumbled upon it.

 
greg macpherson User

any chance you could make it look better in other tabs? it sets the background for the widget titles to blue on all of them, so it'll have green title text and blue background.
i can get a screenshot if necessary.

Very nice script. So you're a Lifehacker reader too, eh?

I really like the way this makes iGoogle look.!

enginedown: unsure why it's changing your fonts. :( I'll have to clean up the code soon, and get rid of all the crap we don't need in there.

As for the logo, just comment out the #regular_logo value, or modify the url to an image that'll work for you.

looks good in the screenshot.. but for me makes some widgets fonts larger. plus i use one of the themes so the replaced logo doesn't fit.

There. I think I finally got the rounding right.

Kylor - I've been trying. trust me there! but I haven't been able to get it to lay out right... yet.

adhan - I'll try to get to that this weekend. bugs me that I never see the replies till I have an update for this. :)

It needs some work. The borders of the boxes don't match with the rounded title bars, which seem to be basically the only change.

hac, photobucket.com offers free photo hosting. I host my .PNG photos there.

It's free and very easy. No spam or anything of that sort. A very reliable site, too. If you do this, I will download your userscript again. Please??? :'(

Pimm - I've updated the source to include other locales.

adhanberry - I uploaded a PNG version with transparent bg, but flickr changed it to a .jpg. I'd rather not upload to my site as I have limited bandwidth. sorry. :(

My iGoogle is customized with a theme so the picture with the Firefox "o" in Google's logo is terrible. Maybe you could make the background of the picture transparent and save it as a .PNG file. I know you said you were new, but there is hardly a difference and it's pretty much pointless to download this userscript. Good try, though!

You should seriously consider using

@include http://www.google.*/ig*
so it'll work on Google in other languages too.

I've updated the script to change the iGoogle logo back to something proper. :)

Just modify the url field in #regular_logo (near the end of the long line of the script) to point to an image you'd rather use.

NOTE: make sure the image is 166 x 55px. I've yet to really figure this world out, so this hack only displays an image that size. :)

 
hac Script's Author

it's subtle at best. rounded boxes, color matching.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the links within feeds to border. hopefully, i'll figure that out. :)

sorry. but i hardly see any difference in the way GoogleIG looks
