Welcome to the gContactSync-UI-fork wiki!

I created this repo to track my own patches to Josh Geenan's most excellent gContactSync Thunderbird extension. I was motivated by the long status bar messages that it produces, which, in combination with the other extensions I use, make the status bar too long. This means that when I size the Thunderbird window to fit my non-widescreen VNC screen, the status bar is cut off. With Thunderbird's window layout logic, this means that the scrollbar for the message list pane (3-pane layout) is cut off as well. Which is a problem for me.

What's changed

So far, I've shortened the status bar strings and nothing else. I'd like to put the status messages somewhere else entirely, since I don't want to care about the status of syncing--I just want to trust that it happens every so often.

I will probably pull changes from Josh's tree every now and then. He is free to pull my patches if he likes.
