Gmail Full Width 2
For new version of Gmail: when viewing a message/conversation, the advertisement box on the right is removed and messages and reply box occupy the full width available. Long titles are optionally truncated.
If you're still using the old version of Gmail, Gmail Full Width does the job.
This script won't work with the old version of Gmail.
With a long title, not truncated:
At the top of the script the truncate variable specifies whether the subject line gets truncated or not if it is too long, so that it and the blue links are all on the same line:
truncate is a boolean (true or false), false by default. If you mouse over the title, the full length of it will be exposed.
The "map this" feature will get put beside the message body. Please leave a comment if you think this sucks.
Also please leave a message if you find any bugs.

Yup you're right. My apologies. I had another script that was doing that. I disabled all those and when GFW2 was enabled, it just shows the ads above the message. That's the only problem I'm having now. Sorry for the mix-up! |

Max, there is no way my script can be doing that, as it is only active when a conversation is being viewed (this is using Gmail's API). I know this script is faulty. I'll try to fix it when I have time. |

The problem I'm having with this script is when I try to compose a message, it doesn't load the compose screen fully. It loads the To: field, but the subject line and body field aren't loaded and the 3 buttons at the top (Send, Save and Discard) are Send, undefined, and Discard. I'm using Firefox 3. Screenshot: http://i34.tinypic.com/27wx8qw.jpg It just freezes like that. |

Script is broken now. The ads now appear before the message. |

I haven't had time to deal with this, but will quite soon, so I'll try to address all the issues then, as it's been irritating me too. About the vertically misaligned labels, that's not to do with my script, Google haven't fixed it for FF3. You'll see if you disable Greasemonkey temporarily. I added a fix for it in the script but it isn't working as the entire script seems to be failing most of the time nowadays. |

I hope you are able to get the FF3 issues worked out, I think your full width solution is by far the best and simplest. I am noticing some subject lines running off the left hand side all the way into the left side boxes and navigation tabs. I can provide a few samples if you need. I have tried them with and without subject truncation. Truncated titles generally work better, but not always. I've noticed that even without any scripts loaded that the labels are not vertically aligned with the subject line, perhaps this is related. Thanks for your work on this script. |

I've been noticing problems now. Sometimes it works fine, other times not. Normally a hard refresh solves any issues. The same goes for another script of mine and I think it's something to do with Gmail's way of loading the page in bits and the fact it uses iframes. I'll try and have a stab at fixing it this weekend. |

Update: Just installed FF3 on my Windows VM and it still doesn't work for me there. I can confirm it's not platform specific (for me) :(
Just to confirm: are you using Nightly Tester tools to install greasemonkey (because it's 'not supported' for version Rc1)? I've just made a brand new gmail test account and it's not working for me on that either :(
I'm stumped! |

Hmm.... Very strange! It's still not working for me. I'm using Gmail en-gb with Firefox 3.0 Rc1 (build 2008051202) with Greasemonkey v.0.7.20080121.0 The only thing I can think of is that I'm running Mac OS X. Not sure if that'll be a problem though. Other scripts work fine.

Well, chaps, I'm afraid it's working very well for me with FF3 RC1. If I can't reproduce why it isn't working for you then I can't fix it. I'm using en-gb Gmail, but I don't think that should make any difference. I've added a couple of minor fixes to the way the subject line displays, that's all that's new at the moment. |

Just gone back to FF2, and can confirm that it works fine. It's just a problem with FF3 (using RC1 atm) |

When you hover over the truncated message, it shows the full message but shows the title as Cron <x> instead of Cron <x> |

Hmm...I've realised I'm still having problems. I'm using gmail (UK) and Firefox 3. It hardly ever seems to work :( |

I have noticed that it fails to work very occasionally, particularly if the page hasn't been refreshed for ages (like several days). I tend to hibernate my computer, so it can be days or even weeks before I actually log out or refresh the page Gmail is on. Refreshing or logging in/out always seems to solve the problem. |

Uh - oh. I spoke too soon! The script works on the first message I read, then if I go back to the inbox and click another message it doesn't work. :( Not sure if it's just the UK version...nope. It happens in the US version for me as well. I hope you can sort this one out! |

Looks like google finally updated the UK gmail to 'new version'. This script works just as well as the old one. Keep up the good work Raffles :D |

I stupidly left the new regular expression in quotes so it still didn't work. It really should work now! Tim, try this version. I suspect it's the while loop. You should get a message if it's this loop that's holding it back. |

I installed this script a few weeks ago. Since then, gmail gets hung up opening certain emails. I have to wait several minutes for the 'stop script' dialog. I was not sure what it was, so I systematically went through my greasemonkey scripts until disabling this one stopped the problem. Any ideas? |

I can't believe I missed that, it's so trivial: replace() only replaces the first instance of the search parameter when it's specified as a string. Fixed now. |
