It works with the older version but i'd like to see this work with the new gmail as well. i love this script!

any chance of an update ? x2

This seems to have stopped working, any chance of an update ?

to set you own colors for labels do this :
replace "SetupStyles" function with code below:
function SetupStyles(){
var strStyle = '';
for(var i=0;i<_arrlabels>
{
for ( j in myArray)
if( myArray[j][0] == _arrLabels[i]) {
strStyle += '.gm_label' + i + ' { background-color: ' + myArray[j][1] + '; }\n';
break;
}
}
addGlobalStyle(strStyle);
}

and in the first lines of script make and array like this :
myArray = [
["label1","#ff00ff"]
,[label2,"color2"]
];
--------
this will do the work.

Really great script!! I have been using it for months, and the only problem I have found is whenever I open my Gmail from a browser that does not have this script installed (i.e. IE7 or FF on other PCs), the labels show up as label#colorcode, which is quite ugly to look at. I see that lots of ppl have this problem. I have a dirty hack around this: change the function getLabelColorInfo() to following:
switch (rawLabelName) {
case "Label1":
return {name: rawLabelName, color: "#009999"};
break;
"#0000FF"};
case "Label2":
return {name: rawLabelName, color: "#FF6100"};
break;
case "Label3":
return {name: rawLabelName, color: "#C7AE75"};
where label1, label2 etc are *your* labels. Note that this will be highly user specific, and will need to be updated if one wants to add a color coded label. However, if you are like me, then you have already set up lots of labels, and hardly need to make changes to them.

Just my 2 cents...

One question though: is it possible to color code the label "inbox" when viewing archived folder??

Thanks

If it matters, I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows XP. I don't know what version of greasemonkey it is, but I just downloaded it a couple of days ago.

It worked! I added labels in one of my gmail accounts. Unfortunately, the "# color" shows up as part of the label.

But worse, when I went to another gmail account, where I had added no colorization to labels, I found that three labels had been colorized three arbitrary colors! I don't know how to change them since they have no color designation in their labels.

Please, help.

TIA.

Thanks a lot, the script is very efficient. However, when GMail refreshs automatically the page to check for new mail incoming, labels disappear and the name of label with hex color code appears.
Second, is it possible to keep the label color when mail is open instead of "name of label #color"
(FF1.5+Greasemonkey 0.6.4)

It works great - makes my inbox a lot clearer, but I had the same problems as csw (I think). I can change the colors hex values on the script, but it doesn't ever show up differently in gmail. Very odd.

I can't change any of the label's colors!! sux please help?!

I love this - I only wish it worked with the Gmail CSS RL Skin

Could you please make the script compatible with this cool CSS?

Somehow, I don't get emails colorized when I get more than one tag per email:

email A: one tag ==> colorized
email B: two tags ==> not colorized

Is this a bug?

I love the script so much that I keep coming back for some more punishment. This time, I did some bug hunting. Here is what I discovered.
The problems that I was talking about were due to the number of conversations I had set up. When showing 100 at the time, the script goes crazy and pegs the CPU to the max. 50 helps a lot but still shows some activity and 25 acts normal. I would like to be able to at least see 50 at the time. Crashes that I had before were always when clicking on a label. With 100 at the time, FF crashes almost immediately, 50 and 25 no crashes so far but increased CPU activity. It would probably crash if I leave it to stay like that for a while.
I hope this will help you in debugging the code, I really love the script and wanna see it bug free. You can email me if for more info. I'll be glad to help out.

I'm pretty sure it's the script. My concern was that it could have been the combination of scripts and extension. I uninstalled all of them and installed just the greasemonkey with the colorizer. It happened again. So if nobody else complains it could be just me, it could be FF for OSX or it could be something else. I just know that the problems disappear when I'm not using this script. Hope that the next version will be easier on my system.

I love the script, but it's doing some weird shi on my computer. I'm using FF 1.5 and the script is using 100% of the CPU. If I leave it like that for a while, it crashes the browser. I'm not going to rate it because of that. Oh yeah, I'm using OSX if that means anything.

Nice, but its difficult to tell if the message is read or unread.
