Am I the only person that's annoyed that I can't turn off Google Chat in my Gmail account? I want the widget _gone_, not just "signed out". mmph.

- Anon84 18y agothere's probably a greasemonkey script for this...
- unalone 18y agoIt's built directly into Gmail. Look at my response to his post.
- Anon84 18y agoI have it turned off and I still see it above the labels. I think the ideas is to completely remove it from view.
- bradgessler 18y agoYeah, that's the idea. I'm hoping that Google adopts a full widget architecture for Gmail so that I can replace "Chat" and "Invite" with "Google Calendar". By the looks of Gmail Labs, that's where we are headed! Then again, iGoogle won't let you remove chat either. Bastards.
- seren6ipity 18y agoYou can click to hide "chat" and "invite" so they just appear as a single line item. They have two new lab features which may help you. Google Calendar gadget - Adds a box in the left column which shows your Google Calendar. Navbar drag and drop - Allows you to reorder the items in your navbar using drag and drop. With this you may even move chat and invite way to the bottom.
- bradgessler 18y agoYeah, that's what I was getting at in my post. My point is that Google is ramming this chat stuff down our throats and nobody seems to complain. If it was true "widget architecture", I would be able to remove "Chat" and "Invite" completely, not just collapse it.
