How to install
- Install Stylish plus Kallout for Firefox (or from here for just Stylish or for other Mozilla apps). If you have Stylish already, make sure you have JavaScript enabled.
- You need Firefox with Stylish to use this style. Get Firefox, then install Stylish plus Kallout (or just Stylish), then come back here to install this style.
- for Greasemonkey and Opera users.
Adapted to gmail changes, not well tested
unresolved problems:
- the reply dropdown has rollover effects so it cannot be styled
- the coloring of email addresses in thread view is not well adapted
- the tabs in thread view do not have top borders so they cannot be always distinguished (could be done by a replacement picture)
- when in search thread view the control for frobbing highlight slightly reaches into the first email header
- cannot style checkboxes and radio boxes
what should work: message list, compose, thread view, reply, address book
re contrast:
this is the 'decent contrast' version I use. Since the screen has some reserves in this area I do not want max contrast for text. You can use lighter gray for text to make higher contrast.

but my buttons text were to clear and I had problems to read them, so I changed the color of its text to 555555, and looks realy better... You might consider to do this change...

Nice job. You might want to consider using more grays, though, and a darker gray for the text backgrounds. You should strive for max contrast in text. Also consider using dark colors, not just grayscale.
Great style though, it's good enough!
