Google maps full screen button

This script adds a button that lets you see the map at full screen without any bars but with the navigation tools

The script adds a button to the navigation tools that slides in the side panel and makes the bars at the top of the page disappear. At the moment the script has two options, you can set the script to  display the map in full screen as soon as you load the page (this is the default) and you can set how much the elements remaining on the page are faded out (the default is 50%), when you mouse over an element it becomes fully opaque. An extension version will be available when i have the time to make one. For the full effect use F11 to make Opera itself full screen.

The script is also available as an Opera extension, to install, simply download the .oex file below and approve installation.

As of version 0.7.5 Greasemonkey compatability is still limited. The full screen button does work but faded elements do not become opague when moused over. Apart from that, the script will work in Firefox and Chrome.

NB: The script version will not work on the https page unless you have set opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS to true
