Google has a navigation bar, it includes items like Gmail Calendar Documents Photos Reader Web More and a few months ago they added it to G-mail. I don’t use it because I have gmail running as an Application Shortcut / Fluid Instance, and so it has it’s own, dedicated window, and the Google Bar at the top just takes up space. Why would I need to access Calendar Documents Photos Reader Web More when I’m in this mode? So, there is no option to disable it (that I have found) so I’ve written a custom user script. When using Fluid on Mac you can simply use the script icon on the meun bar and add a custom script. On a PC, or with Chrome you will add a new extension. With Firefox you can use Grease Monkey.
So, without further delay, here is the script that I’m using:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Remove Nav Bar in G-Mail
// @namespace https://techblog.willshouse.com
// @description Removes Google Nav Bar (Documens, Etc) at the top of G-mail
// @include gmail.com
// @author Will
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
if (window.fluid) {
function myRemoveIframe(){
try{
var d = document.getElementById("canvas_frame");
d.contentWindow.document.getElementById("gb").style.display = 'none';
}catch(e){
setTimeout(function(){
myRemoveIframe();
},500);
}
}
myRemoveIframe();
}
})();
