[Greasemonkey] anyone experiencing bugs w/ gmail colorizer script?

[Tom Lee]

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll definitely be creating some dialogs that let
users easily specify colors, then assign them to labels; and to do so in a
way that the assignments persist even if labels are added or deleted.

For now, though, I've got a slight upgrade that includes what I think might
be a novel GM scripting idea.  Multiple labels on a single message are now
supported (up to three).  This is done by using a background image, using
the data: uri method -- but with dynamic replacement of the embedded gif's
pallette information.  I don't know if anyone else has tried this before,
but if not, perhaps someone will find the idea useful.  There are probably
much better ways to do this.  Mine is definitely a bit of a hack, but it
works.

If anyone would like to try the script, you can find it at
http://www.metamonkey.net/gmailcolorizer/gmailcolorizer_beta.user.js.  I'd
love to hear feedback -- I realize that the barberpole layout of the dynamic
gif might be irritating.  I've considered horizontal lines, too, but think
there might be problems across varying resolutions.

Anyway, please feel free to have a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks.

Tom
