Editing the Sizes of the Split-Windows

Suppose you wish to edit the sizes of the split-windows for Gmail and Reader Integrator, this is possible and easy to accomplish. Follow these steps to customize the Gmail or Reader window sizes to your preference:

1. In Firefox, open Tools > Greasemonkey > Manage..
2. Click on “Gmail + Reader Integrator” in the left panel
3. Click “Edit” button
4. Choose a text editor, preferably with “Lines Number” display
5. Go to Line 54 and 55
6. Edit the sizes (in px)

Quick Tip 1:

In a 1280 x 1024 resolution, the height of an email row in Inbox is approximately 22px. Therefore, the default for “GMAIL_SPLIT_HEIGHT” is set as 220px which displays about 10 email rows in split-window view.

Editing the Size of the Reader Window (Gmail Collapsed )

By default, on collapsing the Gmail window while the Reader is open, the Reader would be resized to fill the height of a screen. Suppose you wish to further extend the height of the Reader when the Gmail window is collapsed, do the following:

1. Search for function resizeReaderFrame, or Line 665
2. Change “window.innerHeight – readerEmbed.offsetTop” to a large value

Quick Tip 2:

You can open|close the Reader window by clicking on the Reader link in the LHS navi. That link is like a “toggle” for the visibility of the Reader window.
