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.
Install options
- Install Stylish for Firefox, Thunderbird, Flock, Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, or Songbird. If you have Stylish already, make sure you're using the latest version and have JavaScript enabled.
- You need Firefox to use this style. Get , then Install Stylish, then come back here to install this style.
- - load into the Stylish extension where you can preview and save it.
- - this style has been updated since you installed it in Stylish.
- - Greasemonkey and Opera users can load this style as a user script.

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!
