Desktop Sidebar (or Floater)
philone says:
If you'd like to put RememberTheMilk in a side bar or floating window you can do it with this trick (THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS IF YOU HAVE GOOGLE DESKTOP):
Right-click your taskbar
Goto Toolbars
Select "New Toolbar"
Put: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googleig/
where it says folder.
Click OK.
Next, drag the new toolbar either to the side bar or just let it float. You can let it stay on top if you want quick access.
Hope this helps.

Which version of windows are you using? It drags off just fine in WinXP.
Also a note for my previous post: The windows toolbar seems to play nice with google desktop if you close out of google desktop completely first (as well as kill off all processes associated with it). Set the toolbar up how you want it then reopen google desktop.

I'm running vista and when I try to include the url above in the folder field, it says it's not a valid folder name...
b.engelenburg says:
You could also use Prism(http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/) to create a floating window with the widget

I LOVE THE IDEA! it works really well. I have it docked to the top of my window, set to appear whenever I mouse-over. Works well
rubyji says:
This works great in Firefox on Mac. Thanks for the great idea!

I get the same error as iwallach in Vista. Bummer.

prism doesn't allow you to go offline because it does not support Google Gears.
brent.hopkins says:
I tried it in XP SP2 and I got 404 Not Found.
johnwin says:

mamona says:
Is it working on Vista? I followed instructions from the first post and all I can see is an error message: The folder name is not valid.
"Is that a idiot user issue, or am I missing something obvious?" :)

This also works great using Fluid.app (for Mac) to create an SSB (site-specific browser) for the mini version of RTM.

You may want to have a look at this site for adding gears support to prism.

Hi I am new to remember the milk. I've been lookin to do this. Can somebody explain me where do I find the taskbar? Thanks
johnwin says:
@joanie.nieves - taskbar is the propoer name for the bar that (by default) runs along the bottom edge of the screen in windows - where all the apps have buttons for you to switch between them.
johnwin says:
One other conflict I found is with Outlook On the Desktop - a great free app that puts (as you might imagine) Outlook data on your desktop

If you closedown OOTD first and then move your RTM toolbar it works. You can then restart OOTD and all is hunky dory :^)

That worked great until two days ago, using my workplace's old Internet Explorer 6. Now I get a really strange error:
Internet Explorer script error
Line: 10
Char: 314 /in case this helps someone to locate the error
Error: Permission denied
Code: 0
URL: http://www.google.com/ig/ifpc_relay
What does google ig have to do with this? I thought the page came direcly from RTM?
Any ideas on how to fix this? I've emtied the cache and deleted the cookies, but to no effect.

I have the same problem than nicoj and is very interested in any solution.
Thank you in advance
Thank you in advance
glieb says:
Same problem here - could this be some request other than http? (I have a proxy which only allows http...)
scott.davies says:
Just change it to https it should then work
confma says:

nicoj says:
This is great, but I would love to have two different lists on two different computers (work at work and home at home)... with this tool, the same list is displayed on either. Is it possible to change that?

What widget are you using to make the floating window with prism?

I have to thank the original tipster on the this thread. It gave me a great idea to make my own webpage to use as a sidebar. It's got RTM, Gmail, and Google Calendar all in their mobile versions in 3 frames. Very nifty!
wessk says:
anyone figure out how to get this to display through the taskbar for vista??
dan.julian says:
What sidebar in XP? I don't have a sidebar, so I'm not sure how to drag this off of the taskbar...Any help is appreciated as this looks like an awesome idea.

You just unlock the taskbar, and drag te toolbar you want to use as a sidebar to the side of your screen. It automatically docks there.

For Vista & Windows 7 users it's a great gadget - "I Forgot The Milk". http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=55ccf415-af76-4a33-bad6-5bdaa370b214&bt=1&pl=1
shermanalex says:
thanks this is great, I've been trying all sorts of desktop apps but who knew it was this easy.
The https:// suggestion fixes the issue with ie script issue thanks!
When I drag it off the unlocked taskbar it always disappears the first time I do, but the second time I do it for some reason it works! Worth persevering

This is really cool. Thanks for the tip.

ERROR: There is one error when you attempt to update the task. The values for List resets to "Inbox" and Location to "none" by default. You will need to change these to their original values every time you update a task.
lite1 says:
I was unable to get this to work on PC running XP pro using the instructions of the original post. While I was able to create the new taskbar it showed a message that RTM page not found.
I have begun to play with this other tip which shows RTM in the side bar of Firefox http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/tips/2951/
If someone is familiar with both of these approaches, could you explain clearly what the pros/cons of each might be? At least for me, when I am on the computer I am always connected to internet so unless there are real advantages to the taskbar approach, I probably will stick with the Firefox sidebar. Thanks for any thoughts/advice.

@lite1
As per 'RTM Page not found' message, you must then navigate to upper-left side of the window and login to your account, then it works.
