Thank you for continuing to update this script! It is one of the best scripts ever written for Greasemonkey.

Best,

thanks sewpafly!

looks like everything works well now, though i can't seem to get your customization screen to appear. the hotkey is not working. any suggestions?

best.

/s

perhaps, as similar to the google calendar version of this script, implementing shortcut keys to toggle the hide/show functions could serve as a way around the arrow functions when google's updates break the script. =)

best.

/s

i believe this script needs an update to properly work with google calendar now. as amosh mentioned, shortcut keys work, but the graphical "toggle" arrows are not visible.

please update!

best.

/s

i have noticed that this script is no longer functioning properly after around the 24th of january. the graphical "toggle" arrows no longer appear on the screen.

it would be great to see an update!

best.

i just discovered that someone was having this same issue at persistent.info. mihai has updated his version as of yesterday. here are some bits from the thread:

I'm having a problem using "G" to go to any folder. I press "G" the menu comes up. I type a folder, the menu disappears, then nothing happens. Anyone else having this?

The script has been updated to handle the latest updates to Gmail (where the JavaScript runs in an iframe), so the "g" and "f" commands should work again.

howdy sewpafly.

for some reason, as of yesterday, your script started exhibiting a very odd problem. when actually coming to the point of applying a label, or going to a label, the "navigational overlay" disappears and the label does not get applied nor does navigation occur. it's like right at the moment of determining what it is supposed to apply, or where it is supposed to go, it stops.

have you seen this?

please resolve if possible!

best.

Gmail Filter Assistant v0.19

Dec 20, 2007

Thanks for this great idea, and almost great execution. =)

There is a peculiar issue I have discovered, and it relates to the way this script utilizes display adapters or video cards.

I have tested this on two different machines, one brand new and very fast, and the same issue occurs.

When this script is enabled in Greasemonkey, it causes Flash video (and possibly other video in and out of the browser) to "jump" at a consistent interval of around 1.5 seconds. This occurs regardless of the tab in which the video is viewed within Firefox.

Also, when I disable only this Greasemonkey plugin, I must refresh Gmail, and then the issue stops. When I reinable this plugin and refresh, it begins again.

It would be great to resolve this. It is very annoying. =)

Any thoughts?

Best,

Modified Gmail Macros v. 2.0

Dec 14, 2007

Interesting! Thanks for checking into it. =)

I actually have a feature request:
- Add keyboard shortcut to creating an event (as appears in the drop down label task list).
- It would also be *amazing* if somehow the event pop-up window the various fields could be populated with data from the email from which the event is being created. For example, the event's "What" field could default to being the email's subject, and the "When" field could default to today's date current time, much like Outlook does.

These requests are obviously Google-level requests, but if a script writer here could do that, they'd be very popular, and possible very interesting to Google as well. =)

Not sure if the "glitch" was meant to be corrected on the updated on December 6th, though I've updated, and still have the issue.

Gmail Beautifier 2.31

Dec 9, 2007

Cipher,

Thanks for this well-written and useful script.

One request: Can you make the position of the "beautified buttons" move down by 1 px? I can't seem to figure out how to do that, though that will align them perfectly with other elements around them (everywhere).

Best,

/s

Thanks sewpafly.

Not sure if this is of any help, however, the other version of Gmail Macros 2.0 does not have this "glitch." Perhaps there is something helpful in that code?

Regards,

Excellent modifications, sewpafly. Thank you.

Can you please fix the little glitch that causes the "More Actions" drop-down menu to pop-up briefly when applying labels?

Thank you,

Raffles,

Would greatly appreciate an update to the latest version of Gmail.

Your ad removal / maximization script is the best one out there for the older version of Gmail.

Gmail Label Colors NG

Nov 16, 2007

Karaszi,

Firstly, thank you for updating this script.

I am also having the same issue with the new Gmail Macros script. I used to use both the label color and macro script successfully, and would like to continue to do so.

Any chance you could address this conflict? It would be greatly appreciate.

Kind regards,

Gmail - Insert HTML Signature

Sep 19, 2007

I second gabedibble's request.

When using Gmail Super Clean, the Insert Signature link is indented against the Compose Mail link, which looks wonky.

It would be tight if we could have this link removed altogether in favor of an automatic insertion. Or, give the option to have it automatic or manual by a flagged variable in the script.

Teljj001,

Could you please post exactly where your edits need to go within the script?

Thanks,

Comment on:
Gmail - Insert HTML Signature

Jun 28, 2007

Awesome progress, Mark!

One issue ... It seems that sometimes the signature is inserted during replies and forwards, and sometimes it will not insert.

One request ... It would be great to have the insertion link in the email composition area!

Thanks,

Gmail Super Clean

I received this information from Ganesh recently:

Hello,
Glad that you liked my skin for Gmail.

Currently there is just one way to change the color scheme, and that is to modify the CSS data within the skin's JS file. If you are confident about editing css then you can edit the file using any text editor. And to change the background images you can run a search for the string "url(" and replace the image names that follow the string with the images that you intend to use.

You can find handy CSS help here http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

In any case, I promise to release a better version of this skin once i find some time to do so. I'll try to add the color customization feature if possible.

Regards,
Ganesh

Gmail Label Colors

Jun 25, 2007

Agree with Rohn regarding the need for a text color to be specified within the label color.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Also, for everyone here, check out this link to a complete HTML hex color code chart: http://www.immigration-usa.com/html_colors.html

Note: You must use two "##" characters to get hex to work.

Example: ##FFCC00

Gmail + Google Calendar

Jun 15, 2007

Another question ...

Why does this script, and the reader script as well, quickly disappear and reappear when navigating to various items that don't refresh the whole page?

Anyone else experience this?

Comment on:
Gmail Super Clean

Jun 15, 2007

I love this script.

Excellent attention to design detail.

I'd like to change the color scheme though.

Can anyone recommend the most efficient way to go about doing this?

Gmail + Google Calendar

Jun 11, 2007

Great little script. Thank you.

Any chance you, or someone more adept than I, could write a script including Google Notebook in the same manner?

What we're doing here is adding these elements to Gmail to make it like a full-fledged email program similar to its competitors in terms of navigational accessability.

This is a good thing.
