Integrating Gmail with Google Calender using greasemonkey

EnhanceGmail.jpeg

Firefox with Greasemonkey: The Enhance Gmail Greasemonkey script
incorporates Google Calendar and the Google Chat gadget directly into
your Gmail account. Install it, then click the Calendar or Chat links
at the top of the page to open your inline calendar or chat gadget. If
you don't like the default setup of the inline layouts, you can edit
the script and change a few simple values to get it looking nice (like
the screenshot above, which also features Remember the Milk integration).

For
example, to place the calendar on the bottom half of your window (which
I prefer) rather than splitting the window vertically, open up the
Greasemonkey script and edit this line in the top section, changing:

const OPEN_CAL_BELOW_MAIL=0;
...to...
const OPEN_CAL_BELOW_MAIL=1;
Likewise, I adjusted the Calendar height using:
const CAL_HT = 60;
...rather
than 70 percent, which seemed to take up too much of the window. In
all, though, this is a really great tool for more tightly integrating
your Google Apps dashboard. Enhance Gmail is free, works with
Greasemonkey and Firefox. Perhaps we'll see some Better Gmail integration in Enhance Gmail's future. Thanks Redd!
