Fixes for gmail macros greasemonkey script

[Doug Harris]

As users of Mihai Parparita's Gmail Macros greasemonkey script are
aware, recent changes to gmail have broken some of the functionality of
this script.

I have found the following discussions about this, each of which seem
to offer fixes:

http://persistent.info/archives/2005/12/23/greasemonkey
http://persistent.info/archives/2006/03/21/gmail-macros
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2432

There are probably more.

Can't we all just get along? Which is the best?

I believe that Karl has posted the most complete revision to Mihai's original script in the various comment threads at the persistant.info site. I made one small change to it (added the ability to use the G +label shortcut from within the Contacts section of GMail) and uploaded it to the file section of this group.

You can also grab it from my blog: http://michael.kizer.ws/2006/04/18/supercharging-gmail/

I just uploaded my modified script, which has a couple of hacks in
it... It differs from Michael's in the following ways. (btw is there
a way to delete/change the files that we uploaded? I meant to change
the filename...)

Mark as Unread -> uses key 'b' (So 'v' works with the conversation
preview script)
Move to Inbox -> 'i'
Remove Labels -> 'z'+label
'o' operates how gmail has it set up
'O' will toggle opened/closed all the conversations in the current
thread

The label menu can stay closed and the label operations still work.

Thanks Brent, those are some cool alternatives (choices are always good)...
I think I'll have to start a Page in the group that describes each of the various versions of the macros, that way authors can upload their file and edit the description page with a brief synopsis.

As for renaming the files... I don't know what a regular member sees when they go to the Files section, but I (as list owner) have options to delete and rename files. If you don't see that option, shoot me an email and I'll do it for you.

Brent, you're a lifesaver.

just wanted to offer you a quick thanks for getting gmail usable for me
again :-)

Brent, Karl, Anand:

You guys have done some *fabulous* work here! I'm using Brent's script
as the basis for my own personal hacked up version. But mainly, I'm
just SO happy that gmail is working the Right Way again.

Have a good weekend,
Scott

I was just waiting for someone to post a fix for this script -- thanks
so much.

It's possible to change the grey color of the selection balloon. In
the line:

this.backgroundNode.style.background = "#000";
this.backgroundNode.style.MozOpacity = "0.55";

change #000 to some other color, and 0.55 to some other opacity value.
I use

this.backgroundNode.style.background = "midnightblue";
this.backgroundNode.style.MozOpacity = "0.75";

I didn't mean to change the subject line of the discussion, sorry!
