hide all unread counts in gmail?

[Aaron Bohannon]

Hi, Gmail recently disabled the lab that allowed me to hide all my unread counts.  I really, really, really need to hide all of the unread counts.  Unfortunately, Minimalist only allows me to hide the unread count for Spam.  It seems like the functionality is practically already there in this extension.  What's the quickest way for me to make this happen?  Hack the source code of the extension?  Write a module?  Wait for the maintainer of the extension to add this option?

I made a custom option to hide my inbox unread counts.

Go to your minimalist dashboard

Hit "Edit" under GMail

Add option

In the CSS box, paste the following (which will remove the unread count to the right of the word "Inbox" in the sidebar):

.J-Ke[href$='#inbox'] { 

    visibility: hidden; 

}

.J-Ke[href$='#inbox']:before { 

    content: 'Inbox';

    visibility: visible;

    font-weight:bold;

}

In the "Head JS" box, paste the following (this will remove the unread count from the title of the tab.  This isn't the prettiest code - as it renames the title of the tab to "Google.com Mail" every 3 seconds [3000 milliseconds] - but it works):

 

setInterval(function(){window.top.document.title="Google.com Mail"},3000);

Hope this helps!
