View your Google Personalized Home page modules in the sidebar with an optimized layout.
This extension was inspired by a tip posted by Erica Joy on her blog [http://www.ericabaker.com/].
Erica suggests to create a bookmark to your Google Personalized Home page and to open it in the sidebar using a built-in feature of Firefox.
This trick works great - or at least it did worked great until either Google changed the code of the page or the new Firefox 1.5.0.6 changed the actual layout, making it unusable (squeezed 3 times horizontaly).
This extension aims at reproducing the feature initially described in the trick, with additional features.
Features:
* Un-squeezed modules
* Optimized layout: removed header, search box and footer; removed margins; (optional) reduced font size
Usage:
* select in the menu: View -> Sidebar -> IGoogle, or
* use key combination: Ctrl+Alt+I, or
* click on toolbar button
To disable the "Reduce font size" feature:
* uncheck item in the extension's Options dialog, or
* right click in IGoogle Sidebar page and uncheck item
Future versions may include more features like choosing which modules are visible and integration with popular sidebar extensions.
