EdgeCrafting - giving you an Edge !

According to this post on ZDnet by Garett Rogers a task-list-thingy is reported in the wild ...
Hope they been spying on GTDinbox which I used before Gmail upgraded the code

A tasklist might not cover GTD support in Gmail completely - but less will do

Now, I'm glad I only spend time on updating scripts for floating
signature in Gmail V2 and better Gmails icons and not making a switch to RememberTheMilk for GTD ..... I'll wait and see how much tasklist in Gmail will cover.

As for alternative while waiting for google tasklist basecamp works pretty well for real projects.

Updating my greasemonkeyscripts I stumbled over Gmail v2 Tango 0.1

This little script updates Gmail standard Icons with icons from the Tango desktop project - which I coincidently found recently looking for real tango sites (the dance editions !)

Anyway, I like this



much more than this



Though room for improvement in the tango iconset; The textcolor icon could be better - the visual hints not too obvious, I think the swatch style type works better as lot of people will be familiar with the visual from picking a colour from a colorpicker.

The link icon also a bit unclear, the globe fills visually so you need to zoom your attention to the upper left part, and then you think - aha links ....

After reflection; a real google iconset - no fancy bell and whistles, but they get the jobs done - easy and simple with a high degree of recognition factors included.
Still, the tango set gives Gmail a more web 2.0 look and feel.
