Hi Peter,

v3.0.8 on Firefox v3.5.2 on Windows XP SP2.

This is great!! But I was disappointed to find out that it doesn't work with the older version of Gmail. I mainly use the older version because the newer version drags Firefox down so much on my relatively slow computer.

I think you're the first person to ask about this!

After about an hour of debugging, I've been able to get it to show the icon, but the old interface loads in so many iframes, the script is constantly being reloaded, causing the icon to flicker as each frame may or may not have access to the appropriate scope to see the inbox count.

If I can figure this out, I'll be happy to put it up, but I imagine that it'll be at least next weekend before I can get it stable.

If I can get it running in my environment, would you mind testing the script for a couple of days? As the DOMs are completely different, I'm not sure what potential gotchas exist in the old version.

Thanks!
Peter

Hi Peter,

Wow, I can't be the only person with a crappy computer. Heh

Yeah, I'd be glad to help test it out. Just let me know what I need to do.

Thanks for looking into this!

Hi Peter,

I was wondering if you'd made any progress on this?

Thanks!

Nope, not as of yet. It's requiring a fair amount of work, which I've yet to be able to commit at this point. It's still on the Todo list, though.

That's cool! I'm still open to testing anything want you throw at me.

Thanks!
