Looks like one of the skins we had before. Nothing new, nor more convenient.

No too bad, will need play with it to add more

They're turning GMail into Facebook! You can choose a picture to share with contacts you're emailing, ewww.

Let's see, where did I put hello.jpg...

im using it now, and it all seems a bit big button and kid like, i would like to reduce everything a little, you have two to choose from, but both almost identical

think i will see how it goes!

I quite like it, minimal and clean.

What with AMOLED screens becoming popular on mobile devices (and their aim is to have this new design scale from phones to desktops) it seems odd that they still have this obsession with white :confused:

yes a little white, and def a bit big on my pc, also a line spacing a little large between menu's?

Green on black is the way to go.

Websites should all totally look like terminals.

You'd be surprised how much money and CO2 it would save.

A bit too big and white, but a good demo.

I use an external client to check my mail which only tells me when/if I have new emails, and then I click through that to GMail. Besides, I rarely have important conversations via email. Archiving isn't really a big deal for me.

who has the new layout? i have but none of my mates at work do yet?

im on google + so wondered if it was that?

I like it, it's nice and sleak, although I don't mind the current Google Theme.
It's only recent that Yahoo! changed theirs aswell as their old one was very poor.

I get all my messages from all my mail accounts sent straight to Hotmail anyway, although it's the only one I get spam on as well.
