If you are sucked into the Googlverse as badly as I am, you are no doubt using two of Google’s most popular services: Gmail and Google Calendar. Now normally I lock these tabs in Firefox with the PermaTabs addon.
This is nice, but what would be really nice is if I could combine the two tabs into one. Thanks to Greasemonkey and a brilliant developer known as ‘The Dot‘, now we can…and very easily;)
What We’re Going To End Up With
Getting Ready
All you really need to do this is to make sure you have the Firefox web browser installed. After that, we will install Greasemonkey. Here’s how.
Installing Greasemonkey
- Get Greasemonkey.
- Click the green ‘Add to Firefox’ button
- Click the ‘Install Now‘ in the following window
- After it completes, hit the ‘Restart Firefox‘ button to complete the install
- You should now see a little monkey head in the lower left of Firefox.
Installing the Gmail Addons Script
- Browse to the Gmail Addons UserScripts site
- On the right hand side, you should see a button called ‘Install this script‘
- After you click it, you will see a new box. Click ‘Install‘
Using the Script
- Open up your Gmail account (if you already have it open, you may need to refresh)
- You should now see three new links in the upper left: Chat, Prefs & Calendar
- Since this is about the Calendar, we are going to click that link
- You should now see that half the screen is taken up by Gmail, and the lower half of your Calendar!
Copy the code below to your web site.
