Gmail ’s new redesign is a lot more than just really really grey — it ’s par down , functionally higher-ranking , and will plausibly spark a heap of shocked whining . But do n’t worry — this is actually a better interpretation . Here ’s why .
The New Gmail looks like less than before — but it ’s just because the old interlingual rendition was , by comparison , extremely meddlesome . It ’s less colorful . There are few lines and boxes . There ’s a circumstances of … grey . But get over the Modern expression . before long , you ’ll love it — it ’s white , soft , and friendly . But there are immediate welfare .
The raw search is super smart — rather of have to learn and get in customs duty strings to filter our certain subjects or attachments , it ’s all dropped down from the search bar itself . And if you bump yourself searching this way often , you could turn a query into a filter with a pawl .
Email threads themselves are supremely legible , looking , as Google notes , a lot more IM - like than an actual chain of email . That ’s a great affair . Embedded profile pictures are a cute touch .
you could align your “ selective information density”—how close stuff on Gmail is packed together — to fit your eyeball predilection . This seems minor , but draw it well-heeled to read your email throughout the 24-hour interval , sans headache .
Sidebar action , like confab and recording label , are adjustable — meaning you could make one dominate the other if you so please .
This will all take some getting used to , sure enough , but unlike Facebook ’s many arbitrary redesigns , I think you ’ll take to this one quickly , and for good reason . You should have the option to switch any day now . [ Gmail Blog ]
