Anyone have any updates on this mod?  The website referred to is defunct, at least at this point.

I'd like to have the News stay visible all the time so that I can use it for a small ad, similar to what you see in gmail.

Unfortunately, in the New_Look theme, the changes don't work.   

There's very little code but I'm afraid I don't know enough to change it.

There are two xml files in this that do the following.  Anyone?  Thanks a million!

Replace: document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader2").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";
Add: // document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader2").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";

Replace: <table id="upshrinkHeader2"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', ' width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">
</search>
Add: <table id="upshrinkHeader2" width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">

Replace: mainHeader.addTogglePanel("user_section");
      mainHeader.addTogglePanel("news_section");
Add: mainHeader.addTogglePanel("user_section");

Replace: <div id="news_section" class="titlebg2 clearfix"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
Add: <div id="news_section" class="titlebg2 clearfix">
