How to Create and Share an iGoogle Tab

I m a kind of a surfer who likes to open multiple sites open at once, it was a real pain to have to use the back button or click through open windows to go from site to site. Earlier I thought it was only Firefox browser which had tabbed browsing feature, but it came as a surprise that opera browser always had tabbed browsing feature. Well let’s get back to do the topic...

What does this have to do with iGoogle? Everything. If you have your own iGoogle page, and you really should, then you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed with gadgets on your page, just like it was easy to get overwhelmed with too many open websites.  Once again, tabs are here to save the day, or at least reduce gadget overload, by giving you the option to put your gadgets on different pages instead of all in one place. Tabs act as a table of contents that lists the name of each page (the title of the tab) and the gadgets that are on that page.

If you look at the left-hand side of your iGoogle page, you'll notice a tab that's labeled "Home" and has links underneath that open each of the gadgets you have on your homepage. Here's what the Home tab looks like on the iGoogle homepage:

You can categorize your gadgets by adding a tab.  Let's say you'd like to put all of your productivity gadgets like your calendar, e-mail and to do list on one page. To add your first new tab, click the arrow to the right of Home on your Home tab and choose "Add a Tab" from the dropdown menu and open the "Add a tab" dialog window.   

You’ll be familiar with the "I'm Feeling Lucky" option. If you know what type of tab you'd like to add but aren't sure what gadgets to put on the page, let iGoogle do it for you. Just type in a search term, click the box next to "I'm feeling lucky…" and like magic, you have a new tab already populated with great gadgets.     

Not only are tabs a great way to beat gadget overload by putting your gadgets on different pages, they also make it easy to navigate to the gadget you want to use by clicking on the tab (page) that contains the gadget or clicking on the name of the individual gadget listed on the tab to open the gadget page. Once you've created one new tab, you can create more by clicking the arrow to the right of the tab that's currently open. You can also add and remove gadgets, change the theme of your iGoogle pages and even change the layout of the page by clicking "Edit this tab" to open the Preferences dialog window. 

If you think somebody else might like your tabs, you can send the tabs to them by choosing the Share this tab option from the dropdown menu in your Microsoft Windows to the right of the  tab you want to share (the same one you used to Add a Tab). This option allows you to share some or all of the gadgets on the tabbed page with others. Just check the box next to each gadget you want to share and enter the email addresses of the people with whom you want to share. Make sure you include a message letting them know how the gadgets have helped you! You can also receive a copy of the email you send by checking the "Send me a copy…" option.

What sorts of tabs might you be interested in adding besides your Home tab? On my own personal iGoogle page, I have tabs for Productivity Tools, News, Music and Contacts.  

See Productivity gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

I also like to keep up with the news, so I have a tabbed page that contains my favorite news sources. I always check my Google Reader first thing. Other favorite news gadgets include NPR and USAToday. I also like to keep up with technology and entertainment news so I have gadgets for PC World's Top Technology News and Yahoo Entertainment News.

See News gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

r. I also like to check out the latest music videos so I have the You Tube and Yahoo Music Video gadgets on my Music page.

See Music gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

Since I like to keep up with friends, colleagues and family, I created a tab for Contacts. I used the "I'm feeling lucky…" option to magically create a contact page already populated with gadgets. Now I can see my Gmail contacts (Gmail Contact Manager Gadget), my Google Talk (Google Talk gadget) contacts and even my Twitter friends all on one page!

Make Firefox Look like Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista

If you really want that look for your Firefox to look like internet explorer 7 in Windows Vista, then in order to achieve this look, the first thing we'll need to do is install a few addons to Firefox. The first add-on is the great theme called "myFirefox. Then we'll need to install the "Personal Menu" extension, which will allow us to hide the menu bar.

Once you have those both installed, and have restarted Firefox, we can move on. The first thing you'll notice is that the menu bar has moved. It's now in the same location that the menu bar on IE7 is when you hit the Alt key. You should note that the shortcut keys will still work normally (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+T, O, etc)

If you want to hide this menu using the Personal menu extension, then just right click somewhere on the top bar (the home button is a good choice).

You should see a new item in the menu called "Menus Toolbar". This will let you hide the menu. It will also give you an informational dialog telling you the shortcut key (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) should you want to show the menu again. You can change this key if you install the keyconfig extension.

In the right-click menu used above, you should also notice a new item called Menus \ Edit This Menu. If you select that, you will see this dialog that will let you show the menus via the same right-click menu.

This will let you get to the menus if you really want to. (Or you could use the shortcut key) 

Alternatively, you can add a "Personal Menu" button to your toolbar, and customize a couple of frequently used items on it. Just right-click \ Customize on the toolbar, and choose the shiny new "Menu" button shown on the left hand side of this screenshot, and drag it to your toolbar somewhere in your Microsoft Windows Vista.

Now you can edit the menus on that button, and choose whatever items that you would like to have appear.

Get the pop up of vista calendar by single keystroke

Yes, that’s true and quite simple as well. You can get the popup windows vista calendar using the keyboard and by just assigning it a single keystroke.

Press Win+B, then Left, then Enter just to get a pop up of the calendar through keyboard. We know it’s a long procedure. Don’t worry, we have a shortcut for this as well. We can assign this to a single hotkey script (any one of them from F1 to F12).

AutoHotkey Script

To use this feature, you have to install AutoHotkey. What we will do is assign F4 key to send keystrokes instead of having them to do it manually.  Now in order to do that, create a new file names calendar.ahk and then paste the following code in it.

    

#InstallKeybdHook
#Persistent
#HotkeyInterval,100
SetKeyDelay, -1

f4::
{
send, {lwin down}b{lwin up}
sleep 10
send, {left}
sleep 10
send, {enter}
Return
}
