I initially found this skin via Lifehack's "Better Gmail 2" Firefox add-in. One of the options was this skin. I like it a lot...but, not having Contacts and Chat made is unusable for me. So, not knowing about this scripting language, I still learned there's a very easy fix.. 1. First you need to NOT be using the sking from Better Gmail Add-in. If you have it. I'd suggest just selecting 'no skins'. 2. Install the add-in that manages these scrips. It's called Stylish. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 3. Load the Blues and Gray script by just clicking the "Load into Stylish" box under the "Install Options" earlier in this (Blues and Grays) page. 4. In Firefox, click on Options in the Stylish add-on. 5. Ok, here's the key - comment the line that hides the chat/contacts link. To do this: a. highlight the Blues and Gray's script and click Edit b. near the bottom of the box containing the scripting code, locate this: /* HIDE CHAT/CONTACTS BOX */ div[class="XoqCub a3hTGd"] { display: none !important; } c. Ok, all that work to do this simple step. Comment out this line by putting /* */ at the beginning and end of the code line. That is: /* div[class="XoqCub a3hTGd"] { display: none !important; } */
