Tired of the way Gmail looks? You can give it a new super clean redesign, if you have Firefox and Greasemonkey installed.
As you can see, this changes the way Gmail looks from top to bottom. I like the lighter colors and the more “clean” interface myself. You can pick up the user script for it here:

Also, be sure to stay tuned on the Super Clean Gmail blog, so you get the latest updates on how the project is going, and when it has been updated:

Is it about time Google did a refresh of Gmail themselves? I think so…

Twitter has gone from something I used to think was silly to something I find both highly addictive and handy at the same time.
If you overlook its flaws it is a great way to spread the word about yourself or pickup on small delights your friends might send your way during the day. Here are a few more ways to get more from Twitter.
Twitter Greasemonkey Scripts
Twitter Firefox Extensions
Twitter Resources and Help
Have any more suggestions? Send them my way or drop in an comment. Would love to hear any and all Twitter tips you might have.

Ever since I did the Google Reader guide people have been asking me to do another post like that about some other service. I do use Google Calendar a lot as well so here are a few Google Calendar tips and tricks that you might actually get some use out of.
Greasemonkey Scripts for Google Calendar
Sync Google Calendar with Other Calendars
Add Google Calendar to your Start Page or Web Site
Extra Tips and Tricks for Google Calendar
If you know of anymore or have your own awesome tip list be sure to share. I always love adding a little ‘bit more to any online or offline application to get a little more use out of it - and I have to say Google and the other brilliant minds out there make that an easy thing to do.

As some might have realized by now, the new Gmail is great and all - but it breaks a lot of old Greasemonkey scripts that i have grown to love. Over time though, it seems that these crafty developers won’t be held down. Instead they are re-tooling their work and getting them back out there for the public to enjoy.
Here is the list of Greasemonkey scripts that are now working with the new Gmail 2 interface.
Some of these have been wrapped into the new Better Gmail 2 (from the Lifehacker crew) and I am sure others will follow suit. Know of any others that I might have missed?

Want to hide the sidebar menu in Google Reader but you can’t remember exactly which keyboard combination that was suppose to be? For the combination challenged - I have found a great Greasemonkey user script that does the trick.
The GR Menu Hider gives you that option. After installing it just click the link and your sidebar is there - then it is not. By hiding the menu you can have a larger space to read your feeds.
Tip: For those of you who don’t want the extra script, the way you hide the sidebar via the keyboard shortcut is by hitting the “U” key.
You can go pick up the Greasemonkey script here to install. The only thing different was I wish it was a little icon instead of the words “Toggle menu”. That just seems to stick out like a sore thumb to me.

There are a few videos on YouTube I wouldn’t mind saving to watch later - take this one for example. Come on, I know you could all watch my Web hosting stress relief video all day long. Why go get a new extension to do a job I can do myself with a simple Greasemonkey user script? This is all you need to do - pick up the YouTube Video Download script at userscripts.org for Greasemonkey.
After doing so - you get a pretty little download icon as you see in the image above where you can download any video from the Web site. You’ll get it as an .flv file. Then you can play it in that format using a player like VLC Media Player or convert it to something else.
