Also I wonder what finally convinced Larry and Sergey to STFU about how design would adversely impact page load.

Would love to learn how they hire designers. Do designers need awesome SAT scores or any of that other stuff that google requires of engineers?
Not much of it is applicable when hiring a designer, you have to measure different things.

I like it. This might be enough to move from Yahoo to Google.
Glad that they've finally realized that design does, indeed, make good business sense.

This is all part of the Google realignment, I'm assuming? Weed out some useless services (for their own growth), and then redesign everything to bring it all in line with one another.
Really good shit, Google. Personally, I love it to the max.

There's a condensed version of the theme with less whitespace.

I rather like it. Too much whitespace or not, it's a far cry from the previous default version.
- is the Preview theme the new default? Since when?monospaced
- Well, no, it's not. I'm just saying I like this one better than the default.Continuity
- I think I read it WILL be later on.ernexbcn

Too spaced out, but its clean. Just need to be able to adjust the colors for that format.

yeah, it feels like before gmail/google had no design, just a bunch of links grouped together, but the services was so good that no one cared, now it looks a lot better

Just switched from the android theme I've been using for a few months to the preview condensed version. Digging the clarity and streamlined interface. I personally like the way the "archive", "labels" etc... buttons stay at the top of the screen when I scroll down.

I can't wait for the next set of sweeping changes to take place two months after I get used to this one.
- it's just a "theme", isn't it? It's not the default is it?monospaced
- I think it's just a theme for now....a preview.dbloc
