I have just modified this script and improved it, check it at iGoogle Cleaner.

Nice and very useful script, thanks a lot.

Two suggestions :

- for a slightly better-looking and better-positioned button, I suggest you use these CSS properties :

position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 3px; padding: 0 3px; font-family: sans-serif; color: red; text-decoration: none; border: 1px solid red; font-size: 13px; background: #fdd; opacity: .5; -moz-border-radius: 4px;

- if you use the "new" (beta) version of iGoogle, hide nhdrwrap instead of nhdrwrapsizer; this will hide the header more completely (including the links "select theme" and so on). It also works with the classic version of iGoogle, but in this case the tab bar is also hidden.

(In order to access the new iGoogle, run the following code in the location bar when the iGoogle page is loaded : javascript:_dlsetp('v2=1'); )

Nice script, only too bad that the [Toggle header] link is hidden by the "Google Corner Bookmark" gadget (see http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=ww...) that I use.

It would be nice if the [Toggle header] link could be displayed in the top-right corner (or on both top corners).

Google implemented this feature yesterday.

My script is no longer needed (but this proves it was helpful and needed :) )

Hey Michael, I was just about to write this myself and then found yours. Wonderful, thanks! I would like to suggest a few changes that should help to gain one more line on the top:



var link;

link=document.createElement("div");

link.innerHTML = "<a style=\"font:bold 10px arial,sans-serif; margin: 2px;padding: 1px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 120px;\" href='javascript:void(0);' onClick=\"if(document.getElementById('navigation').style.display == 'none'){ document.getElementById('navigation').style.display=''; this.innerHTML='Hide header'; this.style.left='120px';} else {this.innerHTML='Show header'; this.style.left='10px'; document.getElementById('navigation').style.display = 'none';} return false;\"> Hide header </a>";

document.body.insertBefore(link, parent.document.getElementById('editPage').firstChild);



Thanks again!

Thanks Santiag0, that's why I wanted him to post the content of the address bar. I had the same feeling.

I'll correct the @include line

I think that the problem is in this line:

// @include http*://www.google.*/ig?*

change to

// @include http*://www.google.*/ig*

Because in my iGoogle my url is

http://www.google.com/ig#

Best regards!

No, I don't think it's adblock.

Could you paste here the address in the address bar of your iGoogle page?

It's probably something I haven't thought about in the URL scheme.

It doesn't work for me... I do have adblock plus installed, may be due to it, "iGoogle Clean" doesn't work.

@Santiag0

Nice idea!, I find it a little "funky", but I'm sure someone will like it.

Thanks for sharing!

I modified your script. Please test in http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24661.

Thanks alot!

Thanks for sharing this script with us. It is a great little tool to "steal" some screen space back so we can just work and not have the "over head" of wasted space to look at. Very handy and very little and inconspicuous. Great job!

I fixed the "include" url scheme.

Now it works with documents opened from a GMail attachment.

Apparently google changed the URL scheme.

I'll update the script as soon as I find time (hopefully later today)

and i installed it while procrastinating! hooray!

oh what a great script! thanks!

Thanks a lot Brian! Looks really nice, I'll update the script with this new version and modify the description as soon as I find a minute to do so :)

Thanks again, I'm glad you found it useful.

Looks like my attempt at pasting in some code failed. This link should work: http://jepstone.net/downloads/writingroom2.txt

This is great-just what I needed! If you modify the code to also hide bottom_chrome, you can get rid of the line at the bottom that reads Check Spelling and get another line or to.

var link;

link=document.createElement("div");

link.innerHTML="
