Make GMail Navigation Pane Wider

Love GMail

The only damned thing I hate is the too narrow navigation pane they chose to give us.

Since in that left pane I have the calendar, google docs, and other stuff, and I as a lot of other people, have a Widescreen monitor in my laptop and at home, it's a waste of space.

GreaseMonkey

This is a GreaseMonkey Firefox Extension (which you have to install first) user script, to make that possible, it adds 180 pixels of screen real estate to the left column, while correctly resizing the view pane.

The User Script

You can download the script from http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1109388/gmail_navigation_pane_wi.user.js.

The Code

As always, below is a pastie of the code, if you wanna check it out.
