IGoogleBar Powers Up

By: Nathan Weinberg

Ionut points out an interesting Firefox extension, iGoogleBar, that replaces Googles navigation bar with something with more options. The extension adds the ability to show the number...

... of unread messages in Gmail, unread items in Google Reader, and Google Gadget-based previews of several services. The better bar is useful, but has some drawbacks, including a performance-challenged script engine called Chickenfoot, and the fact that it doesnt load until after the page does.

Id like the ability to customize the nav bar. Presumably, Google will add some sort of customization options for it in the future, but in the meantime theres got to be a way to hack it. Perhaps theres a Greasemonkey script I havent seen?
