Gmail 2 Greasemonkey Scripts

Comments (1) · November 13, 2007 at 6:49 am · Hot Web Topics

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.

• Gmail Beautifier 2.0 - show/hide ads sidebar and few other tweaks.
• Gmail Label Colors NG - Colored labels in Gmail.
• Mailto 2 Webmail - Forces mailto links to use Gmail.
• Folders4Gmail - Adds folders to Gmail.
• Older Version Gmail Title - Ditches e-mail address in page title.
• Gmail Spam-count Hide - Hides your spam count number.
• Gmail Show Details - Get more header info on e-mails.

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?

 

Google Image Labeler

On the outside, this idea from Google seems sort of lame.

Welcome to Google Image Labeler, a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images to help improve the quality of Google’s image search results.

Once you try it out though, it is pretty fun. You are given a countdown clock and a partner to compete against. If you login, then you get to keep track of your score as well. Pretty much, Google wants to make it fun for you to do it’s dirty work.
