This style removes ads, but keeps "Expand\Collapse all" & "Print\Forward all" available in the right sidebar. Besides it removes the Chat box & the Invite box.

There's only one value you should modify - that is "div[class='XoqCub ice3Ad'] {width: 990px !important;}"
I have 1280x768 screen & 990px is OK for me. You should find your best value.

I don't code for the living, so any comments & corrections will be highly appreciated.

P.S. I still can't figure it out how to fix the width of the page so that the scroll bar disappear. Any help will be highly appreciated!

Awesome man!
To Reeseo: I changed the units to em, and that made it way worse.
Now, I absolutely have no clue about programming..but i just deleted 990px and put in "auto" (without quotes) and it removes the scroll bar and fits my screen perfectly. Don't know if what I did was dumb or noobish, but hey, it worked for me. Thanks again. *****

Just found this script and am really enjoying it, as it takes out the two things I want gone from Gmail the most: the chat and the ads. Thanks! *****

change the first classname to slwyWc to preserve maps/calendar additions based on message content. ****

Excellent. I've used the 'chat' part. Thanks. :) *****

This is what I've really wanted! :)

FYI: (1) By using "em" units rather than "px" units for the div[id=msgs] element, I could let the width of the message box vary automatically according to the current font size, conserving "about 80 column" convention. In other words, regardless of the zooming by Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- feature of Firefox, my Gmail always displays about 80 alphanumeric characters per one line.

(2) Also by using "em" units for the div[id=fic] element, I could fine-tune the horizontal distance between the message box and special menus, conserving almost same (minimal) distance regardless of the zooming. :) *****

Great Style

Note:You do need to edit the style a little bit. ****
