Opera 'Jor'nal

Now that we have a workaround for gmail's braindead mode (http://my.opera.com/quiris/journal/56/), this can be used to more quickly bypass their check, and remove the annoying 'unsupported browser' message at the same time.

Add to your user CSS file:

/* Fix gmail */
td[id="bm"][bgcolor="#FAE5B0"] {
content: "Limited mode. Select http://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser and use Go to URL."
}

This replaces the 'unsupported browser' bit with a plaintext URL for the workaround URL. Just right-click it and use 'Go to URL', then switch to another page and back to get the full gmail interface back.

Thanks to Arve (<http://virtuelvis.com/>) for pointing out an even better idea:

/* Fix gmail */
td[id="bm"][bgcolor="#FAE5B0"] {
background: url('javascript:window.location="http://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser"');
}

Using this method the window will either automatically forward itself to the full interface, or do so after a refresh.


Of course you can combine the two:

/* Fix gmail */
td[id="bm"][bgcolor="#FAE5B0"] {
background: url('javascript:window.location="http://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser"');
content: "Limited mode. Select http://gmail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser and use Go to URL."
}

That way you can use either method.
