I did this. It works great! davidhoffman: Gmail Tasks: Fluid App Yesterday Brit posted on twitter about Gmail Tasks for the iPhone. I checked it out and liked it more than the normal browser based interface. I thought it would be great to use as a Fluid app. I did a quick search to see if it already existed and found this, but not much else… so I set it up myself. It’s pretty straightforward and shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. Here’s how to do it: download and launch Fluid; enter the following info: url: http://gmail.com/tasks name: tasks location: applicaitons icon: download it press ‘create’ followed by ‘launch now’ you’ll get a page telling you to visit the mobile site or use gmail labs open a new tab in Fluid by hitting ⌘T (cmd + T) click the menu bar where it says tasks, navigate to User Agent, and choose Mobile Safari 1.1.3 — iPhone hit ⌘ + L to go to the address bar and enter in http://gmail.com/tasks (this will load the site using Mobile Safari as the user agent). close the other tab with the original tasks page; hide the Toolbar by hitting ⌥⌘T (alt + cmd + T) now every-time you open Tasks it will use the iPhone site click the menu bar where it says tasks and choose Convert to MenuExtra SSB… the app will relaunch all set. p.s. when you first launch the app you’ll have to dismiss the prompt asking you to upgrade your iPhone software. this could be hidden using a User Script, but so far I haven’t had much luck making this work because of the way CSS is loaded in the app. if you can get a User Script running on the Gmail Tasks iPhone site drop me a line - it’d be nice to hide the footer info, too.

Gmail Tasks: Fluid App

Yesterday Brit posted on twitter about Gmail Tasks for the iPhone. I checked it out and liked it more than the normal browser based interface.

I thought it would be great to use as a Fluid app. I did a quick search to see if it already existed and found this, but not much else… so I set it up myself.

It’s pretty straightforward and shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. Here’s how to do it:

  • download and launch Fluid; enter the following info:
  • url: http://gmail.com/tasks
  • name: tasks
  • location: applicaitons
  • icon: download it
  • press ‘create’ followed by ‘launch now’
  • you’ll get a page telling you to visit the mobile site or use gmail labs
  • open a new tab in Fluid by hitting ⌘T (cmd + T)
  • click the menu bar where it says tasks, navigate to User Agent, and choose Mobile Safari 1.1.3 — iPhone
  • hit ⌘ + L to go to the address bar and enter in http://gmail.com/tasks (this will load the site using Mobile Safari as the user agent).
  • close the other tab with the original tasks page; hide the Toolbar by hitting ⌥⌘T (alt + cmd + T)
  • now every-time you open Tasks it will use the iPhone site
  • click the menu bar where it says tasks and choose Convert to MenuExtra SSB…
  • the app will relaunch
  • all set.

p.s. when you first launch the app you’ll have to dismiss the prompt asking you to upgrade your iPhone software. this could be hidden using a User Script, but so far I haven’t had much luck making this work because of the way CSS is loaded in the app. if you can get a User Script running on the Gmail Tasks iPhone site drop me a line - it’d be nice to hide the footer info, too.
