People Widget and Hide sidebar adds bug + fix #289

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Which Minimalist for Gmail option is causing the problem?
Hide Sidebar ads (under Main)

What is the problem? Describe completely:
Google recently rolled out the People widget (see mail settings>>general), 
which is a section in the sidebar that shows you contextual info about the 
contact whose conversation you're viewing. It's part of the sidebar, but 
doesn't get hidden by the Hide Sidebar ads option and so it gets squished into 
the right edge of a conversation.

Can be inconsistent to reproduce because I don't think Gmail shows you a People 
widget for every conversation, only conversations with contacts who are in your 
Contacts or have other info or previous conversations with.

I've got my own fix for it, which I use in the custom CSS box. I don't hide the 
People widget because I actually find it useful, instead I fix it to the right 
of my conversation (I use other custom CSS to constrain the max width of the 
main/conversation div so there's space to the right of it) . To hide the widget 
replace all the CSS settings with "display:none !important"   

See two screenshots attached (before and after my custom CSS).
here's the css:

.WAtuJe, .ibIYee{
border-color: #ff7f00 !important;/*this is the border color of the Night Shade 
theme, which I use.*/
border-style: solid !important;
border-width: 3px !important;
display:block !important;
position:fixed !important;
left:900px !important;
top:80px !important
width:125px !important;
}

Does the problem persist when loading Gmail with this link:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0 if not, list your enabled labs

No, its not a labs thing

MinGmail version       1.7.33

possible.

Interesting fix. I'll be doing an official fix when the feature is rolled out 
to one of my accounts and I may revisit your code at that point
