DashClock Gmail+ Extension

DashClock Gmail+ Extension integrates DashClock Widget with a popular email service Gmail, providing instant access to Gmail messages directly from device's lock screen. Unlike DashClock built-in Gmail extension that displays the number of unread messages, Gmail+ extension displays the number of new messages, just like the actual Gmail application does in its notifications. In addition, Gmail+ extension also displays the sender and subject of the new message, providing a much richer experience compared to the build-in extension.

Other improvements over DashClock built-in Gmail extension include:
• Clicking Gmail+ notification opens the contents of the actual message, instead of the contents of the entire inbox
• Support for persistent notification, providing quick access to Gmail directly from device's lock screen even if there are no new messages

This extension relies on notification access functionality, and requires explicitly granting notification access through system security settings, as well as enabling notifications in Gmail application settings. For convenience notification access can also be configured through DashClock extension settings.

In order to add Gmail+ Extension to DashClock Widget:
• Launch DashClock Widget settings
• Select Add Another Extension option
• Select Gmail+ from the list of available extensions

In order to configure notification access:
• Launch DashClock Widget settings
