Thanks, David. I like that I can still have it ready to enable should I want to go back to the simpler interface again. Perfect! Thanks, David.

Highlight the one you want to disable, and click off the "Enabled" button at the bottom. You can turn it off if you go to “Tools” then “Greasemonkey” then “Manage Scripts”.

I looked to see whether I could uninstall the scripts but I can't seem to find them to remove them--or maybe I can just turn them off?

(Also don't forget to set your theme in gmail to "minimalist") Thanks for the great post! This really makes gmail look awesome!!

A little ways down there’s the section for user scripts if you have grease monkey.

Especially since they are free. And I still use gmail. But I am slowly moving everything to the mac account. Yes, having the mobileme account is a cost for the year. But it is working much more simple. And simple is what I am after. No downloading anything it just works. Syncs with ical, contacts and more. I know gmail syncs as well but to much configuring at times for me. I do enough coding during the course of the day. Glad it is working for you though. It does for many folks. Me, I am so far sticking with mac :) At one time I was a faithful user of google products. Especially since they are free. And I still use gmail. But I am slowly moving everything to the mac account.

The scripts for Gmail and Reader are links off that page to other pages. If it didn't, try again: 1. Make sure greasemonkey is activated. just because it was installed does not mean it is activated. Go to "Tools" then "Greasemonkey" and make sure it says enabled. 2. Go to http://www.iamadtaylor.com/helvetical/, and on the left, toward the bottom, is "Install the user script here". Click that, and a window will open. Click Install This Script. 3. Restart browser, log back into Gcal. Should be all set. The links for Greader and Gmail are links off that page I provided.

If you clicked on the "install this script" on the helvetical page I linked to, it should be installed fine. Is greasemonkey activated? Other than those things, try closing the browser and re-opening/logging into gmail and see if that works. What do you mean by “not taking”?

I was excited about your suggestion. Downloaded Firefox to my Imac, installed greasemonkey and have tried and tried to do the helvetica script but it's not "taking" (Can you tell I'm totally NOT a computer person?!*) Any suggestions?
