Man, I still have this problem - as described by the others. The favicon does not change from blue to red when new mail has been read after starting Gmail. Only after a new e-mail arrived and has been red, the status changes, finally.... is there something you could do?

Hey there. I am on Google Apps for Your Domain accounts. Having the same behaviour as reported by the others - working after receiving the first new e-mail after loading Gmail (when there is initial new mail, the envelope stays blue until another e-mail has been received and read). I am on WinXP SP3 with FF3. I would love to help you, but I have no clue.
There is another script on here that does something similar like yours: it exchanges favicons, but does it base on the number of e-mails you have. Is it basically the same concept? This does work similar like yours... I sometimes hope it is a thing on my side.

Yes, exactly the URI you have. Could it be that I live in Germany? They have the restriction here to name it googlemail instead of gmail, so gmail.com isn't used... just an idea I had. Strange still.

My problem with it is very simple. it doesn't do anything. The icon is simply a red envelope. Yes, I have Greasemonkey, and I have other Grease-plugins working, but this one simply doesn't.

I am running Better Gmail 3 0.7.3, and several other extensions. Are there known incompatibilities?

Thank you,
Evan

No problem. I am not running either Favicon Picker or Hide Unread Gmail Count.

In Gmail Labs, I have:
- Superstars
- Pictures in Chat
- Forgotten Attachment Detector
- Custom Label Colors
- Multiple Inboxes
- SMS in Chat
- Send & Archive
- Undo Send
- Search Autocomplete
- Google Calendar Gadget

(didn't realize I had so many!)
As for possibly related extensions:
- Better Gmail 2
- Colorful Tabs
- Faviconize Tab
- Gmail Notifier
- Greasefire 1.0.3
- Perma Tabs Mod
- Tab Mix Plus
- Ubiquity 1.8

There are others, but they don't seem related. Let me know, I'll be happy to list them.

Thank you,
Evan

It appears to be the standard Gmail icon, with the red diagonals coming up from the bottom corners, rather than the grayer lines in your version of the icon.

I have tested it with both a Gmail account and a Google Apps account (I have some Labs feature on the two of them).

If Language is set to English (US), it works. If language is set to French (my usual setting), it doesn't work.

Great!! it works!! Thank you very much for your work. much appreciated!

Evan, do you have "Show Unread Message Count in Favicon" enabled in Better Gmail 2? That seems like it could cause a conflict.

Good thought, Justin, but no. It's unchecked.

Thanks,
Evan

In fact, just to be thorough, I disabled Better Gmail 2, and the result is exactly the same.

I even tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode, and it STILL didn't work.

However, when I started it after disabling ALL Lab plugins, it worked! now to figure out which Lab Plugin is causing the grief.

If I disable ALL Lab plugins, it works. If I enable ONE, some of them work, others do not. When one works, if I enable a second one, it does not work.

I'll stop now, but Peter, if you can suggest anything that might be causing this...

Thank you,
Evan

I turned those two on with everything else off, and it works. I turned on Undo Send, and it stopped working. I turned off Undo Send and turned on Custom Label Colors, and it didn't work either. Did the same thing with Undo Send, and it worked.

Is that helpful?

Thanks,
Evan
