Damn the new GMail design is really bad, isn't it.
@Gargron Just think of it as an advertisement for SMTP and IMAP?
@Gargron i have to wait like 5 minutes for emails to delete
@Gargron Finally. Years of endured mockery for still using hotmail finally worth it
@Gargron it’s confusing me way more than it should
@Gargron It's not easy to get used to, that's certain. I may go back, if I can..
@Gargron it's like they just added a few things and was like"OMG COME CHECK OUT OUR AWESOME BETA!"
@Gargron yep, I use email client Canary to wrest control over gmail and others.
@Gargron
And slow. Soooooo sloooooow.
@Gargron It really is.
It irks me when companies revamp GUIs just for something to do and make it look like they're making improvements.

@Gargron I only ever use gmail in apps, so the website looks completely different every time I have to go there.

I don’t even store the design in my long term memory now because of it.

@Gargron I disagree, in my opinion it's much cleaner.
But why do you think it is bad? :)
@Gargron me @ google after they gave me an intrusive dumb window to show it to me : thanks I hate it
@Gargron I kind of like it. Maybe I’m bad.
@Gargron It's times like these I'm glad I switched to thunderbird and never looked back

@Gargron Someone at google needs to be fired.

Half the time I can't even open my E-mails anymore.

@Gargron thought I might be alone in this sentiment. It hurts my head.
@Gargron I kinda like it tbh
@Gargron the checkboxes are way easier to click
@Gargron I was complaining about it today. I find the font difficult to read and there’s so visual hierarchy on the page, it’s just a massive pile of closely kerned text 😫
@Gargron Yahoo levels of bad tbh
@Gargron
Yeah but I dig the new features! Wasn't @google killing Gmail?
@Gargron I say that about Google in general
@Gargron What don’t you like about? I’ve not given it a close look yet.
@Gargron i don't know if it is because I'm Scandinavian but I like the light, rounded and open design.
@Gargron so bad I read all my mail through Apple mail, sadly.
@Gargron i hate it a lot. it's just so much more cluttered and difficult to use for no reason.
@Gargron Agreed! Not friendly like the old one.
@Gargron
Anny hint on how to set it back to how it was? I'm lost.
@Gargron my biggest issue isn't the design itself but it seems to take so much longer to load now
@Gargron It's one of those things that you get used to a few hours in.
@Gargron It... looks almost exactly the same? What is there to even complain about? This entire thread makes me feel like I'm losing my mind.
@Gargron I like it, better than CL's lay out :^)
@Gargron It really is. But I switched to Inbox long time ago ...
@Gargron I know right? Soo many needless popups whenever your cursor hovers over something…
@Gargron Just clicked the button to switch. Compact isn't too different. At least not to me.
@Gargron it seems like actions take longer to happen? Like we have to wait for the Shiny GUI to do its animations
@Gargron <unpopular_opinion> I quite like it, perhaps because of my esyesight and the slightly bolder and more legible fonts </unpopular_opinion>
@Gargron Serious? I think there a some pretty good improvements while they keep the general look and feel of the known design.
#uxdesign #uidesign
@Gargron Visually it's a complete mess. I've been trying to get used to it for the past couple of months and the use of spacing and awful typography still makes me wince.
@Gargron trying to make it more like InBox?
@Gargron Incredibly bad. Pointless start up animation (that repeats!), entreaties to follow up on emails you sent out nearly a week ago, sluggish performance that wrecks hell on a netbook... in short, bleech.
@Gargron So people keep saying this, but I never hear any specific complaints. I quite like how it looks. What are people's complaints?
