	report ryairyai says: for some reason i cant get it to work do you think you can include directions on how to set it up? on a sidenote, thank you SO MUCH for the port. I've literally been looking for a non-litestep port of this for MONTHS. Fri, Feb 20th at 10:19pm (9 months ago)
	report ryairyai says: on a side side note, can you rig it so that it "pops up" everytime a new email is received, and then hides/docks itself when inactive? Fri, Feb 20th at 10:36pm (9 months ago)
	report keymit says: @ryairyai thank you, i'm glad someone likes it and is going to use... sorry for the lack of instructions, I've included them in the description now as for the suggestion, it is really easy to make it act like that if you normally have NO unread messages, but as you can see in my case there are a lot (828 and counting... wow... :)) and it is not that simple, but i'll try to figure put a way to do that Mon, Feb 23rd at 05:45am (8 months ago)
	report alejo says: I can't get it to work, if for example my gmail account was alejocustomize@gmail.com and my password was customize (don't worry that's just an example) then should it look like this? Url=https://#alejocustomize#:#customize#@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom ? Sat, Mar 7th at 01:01am (8 months ago)
	report keymit says: @alejo it should look like this: Url=https://alejocustomize:customize@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom this should solve your problem Sat, Mar 7th at 07:16am (8 months ago)

	report scott101 says: I'm having some trouble getting my to work. I've made sure that the email and password is set up correctly, but it seems to be stuck on "loading.." It never changes. Not sure what I could do to fix this. Sun, Mar 15th at 01:57pm (8 months ago)
	report scott101 says: Alright, so I got the "loading.." to go away, and now the problem is that it never displays the number of unread messages in my inbox and the drop down menu is also always blank. :( Sun, Mar 15th at 10:36pm (8 months ago)

	report GrimlyInsane says: I'm currently having the same problem as Scott101. I really want this skin too. It doesn't seem to be connecting to my gmail even though I edited correctly. I've tried changing my password and editing it again to verify that it wasn't a problem with numbers in my password. Pleas explain anything else that may be wrong D: Thu, Jun 4th at 05:05pm (5 months ago)
