Spoke too early, even though the plugin works for squeeze part but on clicking a link it tries to open the page on the sidebar itself :( for example digg. So I am still looking for the plain old setup.

Hi,

Thanks for the great tip Erica.

I made a quick Firefox extension to fix the problem with the squeezed column - which I'm not sure if it was due to a Google change or to Firefox 1.5.0.6.

Anyway, this extension brings our beloved IG-in-sidebar back and also features an improved layout.

I am also having the problem of squeezed. Is this trick short lived? I wil have to go back to google desktop now for consolidated plugins.

It's not just you. My google is also doing the same thing. The sidebar content is squeezed over and I am not sure if it is a Firefox upgrade issue or if Google has changed the way the homepage is displayed

Did this stop working today, or is it just me? As of today, my sidebar content is squeezed over to the left 1/3 of the window.

I also notice that if you open google.com/ig in the main window, the column now automatically resizes to 1/3 of the window as you change the window size. I'm pretty sure that it used to be a fixed width column.

Is this feature now broken?

To Jason:

You can get a ToDo by opening your Google Homepage, click on: Add Content, located in the upper right corner. A new tab/window will open. ToDo is located in the Tools section. Have fun looking!

Thanks for the trick, I love it!

Maybe the next step is to use Greasemonkey to change the layout of the Google page so that images and text aren't cropped.

I had the same idea, but unfortunately user scripts are not run on sidebar: greasemonkey bug #9651

Avoid having to line stuff up:
http://www.google.com/ig/mo...

Will give you a single-column javascriptless optimized version of your page. Sure, it's less functional, but you can reserve a bookmark to use your fully-functional page anyway. Meanwhile, you have your feeds, weather, email and calendar in one easy to get at place.

Yang - I thought about trying my hand at a Greasemonkey script...maybe one day.

Rapture - Mobile would be perfect if it displayed all your gadgets without having to click More.

Jimmy - i kinda like it that way so danke for the compliment. :)

Nick Schmidt - Point me to where I can download a Mac\Linux version of Google Desktop. ;)

sam - nicely done!

PictureRipper\drkN\Pallab De - Rock on with your Opera selves...I likesa my Firefox but woot if you can do this in Opera too.
