Better Gmail 2 Updated [Updates]

[read more]

Google’s Gmail tweak broke some of the more popular features of my Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension this week, including Folders4Gmail and Hide Spam Count. Thanks to the quick work of Arend v. Reinersdorff, the problems have been fixed. If you’re a Better Gmail 2 user and your labels aren’t collapsing properly or your Spam count is showing when it shouldn’t, hit the “Find Updates” button in Firefox’s Add-ons dialog to get the fix, or download the most recent version directly from Mozilla Add-ons. Thanks for your patience and for using the extension. As always, news and discussion about the whole series of Better extensions is always posted on the mailing list. More »

  • 3RVX Brings a Mac-Like On Screen Volume Indicator to Windows (Windows)
    Some sound card software packages provide it and some laptop hardware vendors include it, but for the majority of Windows users the only on screen volume display they see is the tiny speaker icon in the system tray.
  • Inbox2 Desktop Combines and Task-ifies Your Email and Social Networks (Windows)
