Igoogle questions? Can you and how do you remove the iGoogle Developer sandbox? Also can you Remove some and add some links to the top of igoogle ?

Can you and how do you remove the iGoogle Developer sandbox? I signed up for the iGoogle Developer sandbox and now don't like it so much. Is it possible to remove it and how?

Also can you Remove some and add some links to the top of igoogle ? I would like to remove the shopping and images link at the top of igoogle is this possible and how? Also is it possible to add or replace links. Such as either switch the shopping link to the calendar link thats under the more section because I use calendar so often, or can I just add the link calendar all together. thanks

You don't have that level of customization with the settings that Google gives you, but you can do a fair amount with a combination of Firefox and the Greasemonkey addon.

I believe the easiest way to remove links is probably to install Greasemonkey and then Platypus; you can then easily remove page elements (like the shopping link) using the "erase" function and use the "insert HTML" to manually add the calendar link.

Here are a variety of iGoogle hacks using Greasemonkey.

What camcgee says isn't necessary for some of the stuff you're talking about. If I understand you correctly, Google Corner Bookmark should take care of some of it.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that gadget, but it seems like a much simpler solution for changing the links.

You can also change a lot about the appearance of sites with Firefox and Stylish (which just changes style sheets). Plenty of styles are available for iGoogle.
