the basic look has been available as a theme for quite awhile now. it obviously didn't have the spangly new features though.

i've just been using the so-called HD themes in firefox but i get a mahoosive grey border around the edge.

i then tested with IE9 and the image is fine.

pffffff firefox has had its day, its all about chrome

i like chrome a lot and i've tried using it as my main browser several times. but after a few days i always go back to firefox.

i switched over, mainly because i have an android phone, it kinda made sense with apps and so on. it was tricky at first put performance is better. Also having flash integrated is really good not having to update (not sure if FF has this too)

They've killed the Pebble theme, it looks awful. Couldn't give a hoot about the rest of the features, nor the move of contacts/mail etc.. they did earlier this year.

I wish they would just leave it alone, or at least allow people to stay with how it was.

But u care about the pebble theame ...

as mentioned earlier in the thread, the basic look has been available as a theme for ages. it didn't have all the fancy new features though. a screenshot of how it looked before the update:

i paid $5 a few years back and even though i did not renew they never took the space back. The main reason i did it (before android phone) was to have some ownership over the account. At the time my best mate who also had his name '[email protected]' account hacked and pinched. Google failed to do anything about it, they told him if he had a linked payment method then its easy to restore to the rightful owner.
