iGoogleBar: Google Apps Bar with iGoogle Gadgets - 0 views

cybermacs MIAU on 07 Feb 08iGoogleBar is a Firefox extension that adds Google Apps favicons to the Google Apps Bar, using them as triggers for the Apps' respective iGoogle Gadgets. In the screenshot below, you can see how this can be used to check your calendar from inside Docs. It also shows unread counts from Gmail and Reader! Can I customize which Apps are displayed in the bar? Yes, to some extent. You need to go to about:config in Firefox, right-click on the list of preferences and choose New > String. The name of the preference must be bolinfest.igooglebar and the value must be a comma-delimited list from the following set: Gmail Calendar Documents Photos Groups Reader Notebook Personally, my value for this preference is Gmail,Calendar,Reader,Documents Features you probably wish I would add but likely won't because I don't have time: Provide a nicer customization interface than about:config. Include your favorite Google product as an option for the bar Let you add your own links and specify your own gadgets Support Google Apps - currently, this only works correctly in personalized Gmail, Calendar, etc. Provide the option for the iGoogle gadgets to be tear-offs instead of simply pop-ups Include the "more" dropdown in the bar. (Sorry, it was easier to clobber the contents of the bar rather than preserve the "more" link.) Add a dropshadow to the popup
