Better Gmail title tweak

There is a Title Tweaks addon in Gmail Labs that reorganizes Gmail title so that unread count is a little closer to the beginning of page title. Well, with Opera's killer feature Ellipsis in Center (hello Opera, why this is so well hidden?), that addon is just useless.

So I made a little tweak myself. It moves unread count to the beginning.

Plus, I made it so that it sums up unread mails from different, manually chosen, views and shows them in one global counter.
That is useful when you have a filter that gives custom labels to specific mails and skips inbox at the same time. Normally you would have unread counter only when this specific view is focused. With this userjs, you are always notified about unread mails within that label no matter what view you have focused.

There is also third advantage that this script gives. You will see unread count even when having individual mail opened in Gmail.

If you want to configure script, just look inside the file. There is a small explanation inside on how to include custom views.

Updated to 1.01. Counter didn't go away when number of unread mails changed from >0 to 0.
