hello jbmarteau - thanks for the great script. i'm hoping you'll be able to help me resolve an issue related to the colors of the links ... see the screenshot here - http://amlmedia.com/sheenscrot.jpg the main nav link color is too close to the background color of this theme ... i understand how to change that, however, when i change it to white (which is the best color in this situation, obviously), it ALSO changes the links in the email body to white ... which presents a massive problem - they are not readable. how can i have the nav link color white, and the email body link color the original blue color you customized? please advise. best - /s |

Hi sjb, At the beginning of the script, find /* DEFAULTS FOR ALL LINKS */ a:link, a:visited, .link { color: #336699 !important; text-decoration: none !important;} and remove .link It should allow to display the "default" left menu for each theme. However if you choose the "default" theme you will have now the left menu underlined. Thats'all! Thank you for your report and for downloading my script! Don't forget to join the list of fans! |

consider me a fan. =) what I'd like to do, is make the link text on the left nav white, and leave the body links 336699. is this possible? i don't want the nav links underlined on non-mouse-over, either. |

Well in fact what you want to do is dependent of the theme you have chosen. In your screenshot I guess it is the "Shiny" theme and by default the left menu is in white-color. So in fact to remove .link is only a "hijack" to have a white menu but I've try it and it seems to work and leave other links in 336699 (if not please do an other screenshot please). Unfortunately, and I don't know exactly why, I've not found how to change the color of the font of the left menu to be able to choose the color you want (I try to find). It is the same trouble with "compose mail" and "Contact" items which are underlined. Please tell me exactly the theme you use and I will work on this basis! + |

thanks again ... here's a bit of a different issue now, and should be pretty easy for you to advise how to clean up ... check out my new screenshot here: http://amlmedia.com/sheenscrottwo.jpg i've implemented only two things here - your script, and the new add-on from globex: http://www.globexdesigns.com/gr/ i'd like to be able to take care of the three highlighted areas in the screenshot ... one, get rid of the spam link entirely, two, nudge the label locations up so they are aligned with the top of the mail properly, and three, remove the background of the buttons in the upper right (which i think are your backgrounds) ... can you advise how to make these modifications to the script? as you can also see, the font colors have taken care of themselves with the addition of this add-on. if we can fix those bugs above, i think i'll have a very cool gmail application finally. =) best! /s |

i just noticed a couple other things ... the labels should maybe be nudged DOWN slightly ... and then, the button links in the upper right could move UP to be vertically aligned with the upper-left labels. what do you think? |

Hi sjb! To remove the chat item in the left menu: /* REMOVE CHATS ITEM */ .nH.qj > div > div:first-child + div +div {display: none !important;} To remove the chat box: /* HIDE CHAT AND INVITE BOXES */ .nH.s, .nH.pY {display: none !important;} ++ |

jbmarteau - please see http://amlmedia.com/sheenscrotthree.jpg ... i believe there is really only one area that is "messed up" right now, as you'll see, and it also is displayed exactly this way in the main inbox view as well. i believe everything else is fine. please let me know if you'd like to see any other views. best, /s |

Hi sjb! If you want to move on top the storage information you should decrease the number of pixel 76px to 66px or less... /* MOVE INFO STORAGE TO TOP */ .mj {position: absolute !important; right: 10px !important; top: 76px !important; color: #336699 !important;} |
