A few of my gmail labels got to be a little long and it obscured my unread count for some labels, making it difficult to gauge how many and whether I had new emails that I needed to looked at. This script fixes that by immediately loading once the labels are on the page and modifying the DOM, and it also rechecks every 5 seconds to make sure that the unread counts stay on the left side.
