Gmail: The App

gmailhta.jpg

This is just a very simple HTA (HTML Application) I made. Put it in your QuickLaunch or desktop and you can launch Gmail at anytime. It's like launching a real app, like Outlook, only faster. You can download it here: gmail.hta or if you're want to play it safe and build one yourself, here's the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 ?<head>
 ? ?<title>Gmail</title>
 ? ?<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
 ? ?<object id="pFileObject" classid="clsid:0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228"></object>

 ? ?<hta:application id="oGmail" 
 ? ? ?applicationname="Gmail" 
 ? ? ?minimizebutton="yes"
 ? ? ?maximizebutton="yes"
 ? ? ?icon="http://gmail.google.com/favicon.ico" ?
 ? ? ?windowstate="normal" />
 ? ? ?
 ? ?<base target="contentframe" />

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
html {
	overflow: hidden;
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}

body {
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}

iframe {
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	width:789px;
	height:551px;
	position:absolute;
	left:0px; 
	top:0px;

	overflow:hidden; 

	background-color: transparent;
}
-->
</style>
 ?</head>

 ?<body onload="window.resizeTo(800,580)" scroll="no">

<iframe style="z-index:0;" name="contentframe" id="contentframe" src="https://gmail.google.com/gmail" application="no" />

 ?</body>
</html>

Just copy and paste that code into Notepad, and save as gmail.hta, or whatever you'd like. As long as it has the .hta extension.

READ BEFORE USING: Because of IE's higher security in HTAs, you must set http://gmail.google.com/ as "Always Allow" in Internet Options Privacy tab (Sites button). Otherwise cookies won't work.

alright the icon problem still stays, how do i change it cuz when i right click and go to properties, there is no icon option and it opens with Microsoft html application host, someone help me change the icon, thank you!

place the actual file in a folder somewhere out of the way, make a shortcut to it, right-click and you should have the 'change icon' button. as to the latter part of your question, I'd love to know as well, that's how mine opens instead of with Firefox
