Gmail Redesigned (by Globex Designs)

-=Ben=- said on May 13 2008

Wow.
Wonderful style. Makes Gmail very eye-catching and easy to use. I also enjoy the almost-daily updates.
Keep up with the great work!

bluejaybrad09 said on May 11 2008

even more perfect
I will definitely talk this up!

DEONPLAYGROUND said on May 11 2008

This is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work, please.

Ze Thriller said on May 10 2008

So beautiful !

By the way, there is a small problem with toolbar buttons (Archive, Report Spam, ...), the "more actions" list and refresh buttons. The width/height of the normal and hover state is not quite equal (the "second" border is missing)
I made a simple fix, just add:

border-width: 2px !important;

for the :hover state of these buttons, it works fine (sorry I don't remember the css classes used for them)

Thank you for this great work !

*edit, May 6*

I don't know what you made with the 2 last updates, but the CSS file has no new line (everything is on a single line), no indent and no comment. What happened ? Maybe you should fix newlines for readability. Sorry I didn't see there was a dev version...

By the way, the correct URL for the dev style is http://www.naverniouk.com/design/gmail/gmail_dev.css

SleepingGhost <

1: No, except "rich formatting" button (rich editor turned off) goes a bit off its bar.
2: Can't test.

The May 7 dev update contains a truncated file. Be careful !
(Maybe the official one too)

JenM said on May 08 2008

Awesome skin for gmail! Thanks. I also noticed that after the last update the background for the contact list became white making it impossible to read the list. No other problems for me.

raniero said on May 08 2008

i see a strange corner at the side of the adv box and the contact page buttons, ive made a screenshot to show you exaclty what i mean, causa i dont understand if all that is meant to be this way or is an error: http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/7940/immaginejt4.jpg
ps after your last update the contact list background is became white causing the list to be invisibile

nclib said on May 08 2008

**update** Thanks for the fix! Everything works fine now. Much appreciated.

Sleepyghost, I am having the same issue. Just started since the last update. Unless I hit the popout button I can't see anything below the formating buttons.

Mickey Binder said on May 08 2008

This skin really rocks!!! :O) (And you already fixed the reply bug, nice work)

theorist said on May 07 2008

I have the same problems as SleepingGhost. I've been using this script for a while, and this is the first time I've encountered a problem...

SleepingGhost said on May 06 2008

1. Anybody else having the problem with the floating 'plain text/rich text' button overlaying the toolbar buttons slightly?
2. Anybody else having the problem with the reply input text field not being visible unless the window is resized?

Somebody hit me back!

Mo Husen said on May 06 2008

Just brilliant.

Doc said on May 03 2008

An absolutely stunning display. You've done a beautiful job with it. I've been reviewing software on-line since 1982 and this would rank with some of the best things I've seen. To gain wide acceptance it will have to be able to support Better Gmail 2 and RTM. When it does that, I'll personally promote it for free. Keep up the amazing work.

hoopsgr8 said on May 02 2008

This is a great "skin" for gmail and it keeps getting better! I love the contrasts in color and the overall look. Keep up the great work!

x00x said on Apr 30 2008

I absolutely love this! The best, most visually compelling combination, balance of colors, hues. I highly recommend GMail Redesigned and the addition of installing the new palette for colored labels by Moktoipas that expands on the Gmail default selection of colors for labels

tehmiller said on Apr 29 2008

As everyone else has stated, this is an awesome still, and I love it, I use it across 4 computers, so manually updating it got to be a pain. You can have it automatically update to the latest alpha version easily by just opening up the stylish.rdf file in your profile folder with a text editor, searching for RDF:about="http://userstyles.org/styles/5867&quot;, then changing the line after that, which should start off stylish:updateURL="http://userstyles.org....&quot;, to stylish:updateURL="http://www.naverniouk.com/design/gmail/gmail.css". Again though, great style, hope to one day be able to have the same style for Google Reader *hint hint*

ahamednishadh said on Apr 28 2008

hey great work man!!

i really didnt lyk da original design and was using another style until i found ur style in a forum and since then ive been using it!!

keep up da good work!!

divinoag said on Apr 28 2008

Small problem with this last update: now all email text, while reading, is being set to black, even when you're reading an HTML formatted email with different text colors.
That makes my boss pissed at me because "the company name must always be in orange, not black. Blah blah blah blah". I know is just on my screen, but he's not very good on the whole "comprehension" aspect.

And I see the update log saying about main menu icons... I did notice the menu options shifting a little to the right when I updated the style, but no icons are being shown.

I must say that, while I love the style and don't really see myself without it anymore, it does make the whole interface a little less responsive, at least on this crap-tastic computer I'm using. It's more when scrolling that everything seems slower, but it's not a deal breaker. Just thought I should point that out.

As always, thanks for making my work easier on the eyes. ;)
_____________________________________
To manually update your style:
* Open the link on this page for the desired stylesheet (alpha or latest stable; I think they are currently the same); Select All and copy to the clipboard
* Right-click on the Stylish icon (should be on the bottom right of the Firefox window) and select Manage Styles; or go to menu Tools > Add-ons, then Extensions tab, select Stylish from the list and click Options.
* At the Manage Styles window, select Gmail Redesigned (by Globex Designs), and click the Edit button
* Select everything on that window, and paste the updated CSS over the previous code.
* Click save, and go have fun. ;)

Thanks for the tip on label colouring doob.

It's a nice clean look.

Great Job!

Rob Colburn said on Apr 22 2008

Very nice,

Shines great with Prism.

The css is already 300K, it's good to bring images into style sheet

Would love to see this pushed accross the other Google Apps

IBANON said on Apr 21 2008

Great Work! I would like to note that links in other people's away messages are dark blue and difficult to read. Is there anyway these can be changed to the same color format as within the actual chat windows? Otherwise, everything looks perfect.

mrhaydel said on Apr 21 2008

How do I actually update the style sheet manually?

whatrevolution said on Apr 21 2008

/me piles on.

Cobra2 said on Apr 20 2008

NOw it's every time i restart my firefox it gives me an update ???

cheero said on Apr 20 2008

Killer skin! I love it, although the hover over links can sometimes be a tad slow but not enough for me to rate down this extension.

Great stuff.

nparlance said on Apr 18 2008

I have one comment.

I think that the blue color in "Contacts List" is not compatible of the global chart you used for other modules.

Are you expecting to change it to some other appealing color? For the rest, thanks for the excellent job; I can't use GMail without your style.

Excellent work!

When do you expect to support GTDInbox and Remember the Milk.

Thanks

motorbikematt said on Apr 16 2008

This is a wonderful improvement over the standard Gmail interface, and certainly blows many other userstyles out of the water. Great job!

doob said on Apr 16 2008

tcustomgolf:

you need to turn off any font size scripts and accept the default font size from within the style itself. Use Firefox's font options - Tools/Options, instead.

SpryCorpse:

Light green opens as default on all my labels, but I can easily change the colors in the labels box. This is also the case when making a new label.

tcustomgolf said on Apr 16 2008

Very awesome skin! Will be my default for ever!

But, when I compose an email, and I start typing a contact in the To:, many contacts popup based on the letters I am typing, but they are not viewable. I get multiple scroll bars stacked on on top of each other, and it seems the contacts are behind those scroll bars, so they are not selectable.

Anyone see this also?

waddles said on Apr 16 2008

Pretty, but I still think it's a little boxy, and the text is hard to read where OS != Windows. Also, I don't get why you're using cryptic class identifiers instead of class names where possible. Can you add this snippet for RTM4Gmail?

/* Buckets */
.rtm-task-list-bucket {
background: transparent url('http://www.naverniouk.com/design/gmail/chat-search.gif') repeat-x top left !important;
border-top: 4px solid #121212 !important;
-moz-border-top-colors: #181818 #161616 #141414 #121212 !important;
height: 24px !important;
margin: 2px 0 -2px 0 !important;
width: 100%;
color: #CCBB2A !important;
}

Louis126 said on Apr 16 2008

I love this new skin for Gmail. This is my favorite skin yet. May I make just two suggestions though.......1) Please re-design the 'Contacts' listing. As it stands now, the way you have it, it looks exactly the same as the same-old-boring unimpressive Gmail default graphical web userface. Please change this, so that the 'Contacts' listing would have the same kind of dynamic graphical interface as the of this awesome skin. And, 2) Is there any way to hide the bold spam count?

Thanks, and thanks again for this wonderful new skin. Keep up the great work!

MutantMonkey said on Apr 15 2008

hronir said on Apr 15 2008

really, really impressive!

identi said on Apr 15 2008

Awesome.
I'm really not into skins - I prefer simplicity and speed, but it changes the whole Gmail experience.

mario333 said on Apr 15 2008

Cool!

I really, really like it, but it does NOT work in Dutch, only in English!
And that, I really don't like!

jive said on Apr 15 2008

Gave it a three, because aesthetically it is fantastic. But it altogether breaks gmail addons (greasemonkey script) which made me have to disable it. Sucks because I really like the visuals. But instant access to my calendar is a must! So, I guess function over fashion.

teuteuguy said on Apr 15 2008

Great.
It looks great.

Small suggestion. Could you change the "color" of the labels so they stand out a bit more, when they have unread mail in them. When using filters with gmail, some mail go directly to certain labels and are archived.
It is nice to view the ones that have unread mail in very quickly without having to focus on reading each label individually.

Regards

Tim

Magyc said on Apr 14 2008

This is a great skin!

I'm still having a problem in Reply mode, though. Now, the text box is fine and inputtable, but the graphic for all of the formatting buttons (the RTF ones) is the one for the bold formatting button. I can work around this, as if I hover over the button, the type of formatting for that will show up, but it's a little distracting to see! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/magycmyste/gmailss.png

Bobas said on Apr 14 2008

Doesn't work. I don't know why. The log-page works fine. See this: http://195.113.171.140/~brothanek/gmail.jpg

grawity said on Apr 14 2008

l33tness!

Ben Kessler said on Apr 14 2008

Really beautiful skin - resizing is a little slow but love it overall. Now I need all of the rest of my Google apps including Reader to have this skin!

Syphon said on Apr 14 2008

Wow, it's finally looking complete! ^_^
Looks pretty awesome, I can't even tell what you need to style next. Seems like all is left is fixing the "web clips" you mentioned & styling the Spam messages.

LazyB said on Apr 13 2008

the hide bold spam count styles all of them have stopped work i don't know if its this style or something google did might be worth check into it.

zak said on Apr 13 2008

This is the best gmail style I've ever seen! Great work!

buubbu said on Apr 12 2008

Incredible !!!! Superb !!!!

studebaker said on Apr 12 2008

Evgueni pointed out to me that the "Load into the Stylish" button doesn't aways work as expected. Twice recently, I discovered that manual downloading (using copy and paste) of his script from http://www.naverniouk.com/design/gmail/gmail.css was required to get a fully functional script. This is a site issue, not a script issue. Great script Evgueni; keep up the good work!

*Snow* said on Apr 11 2008

One of the best skins I've ever seen on gmail. Very nice work ;)

dougeee said on Apr 10 2008

This is simply Gorgeous, the yellow highlight with white lettering is not a site for sore eyes, excuse the pun.. :) Great work people!! I'm a fan!!!!

sonicspike41 said on Apr 10 2008

And I thought the GMAIL Skins Firefox extension was cool...

orescb said on Apr 10 2008

Just to give you feedback about what to implement on your already great script, please, fix the Remember the Milk extension. I know you say it is to be done in the future, but it is better that you get some idea about what people would like to have. Thanks a lot anyway.

K3nt1 said on Apr 10 2008

Gmail Redesigned (by Globex Designs) is really amazing. The updates are really frequent and target the rights aspects.
For the next step, I'd love to see the "Reply drop down list" fixed, since it's a bit broken since the new reply icons.

Anyway, great work !

K3nt1

Stealth said on Apr 10 2008

Hello, the menu "More Actions" is back the old short version. You did longer version in some previous updates. Will you use the again or it didn't work good?

""Stealth said on Apr 04 2008 --> Would it be possible to make the drop down menu bigger? I have few labels and I still must scroll down the short menu.""

Chipsp said on Apr 09 2008

I agree. Very good. I look for updates everyday. Keep up the good work.
Today's update has the "the label has been removed" banner that will not go away and overlaps all the other buttons in the vicinity.

I live by the Better Gmail macros, but so far they seem to be working well with the script.

I have only one other style going, that is, to move the "printer, forward all, new window" etc to the top of the open email to gain the space on the right hand side. The colors are wrong with your color scheme though. I'ld love to see you take a crack at that since you really have an eye as to how it should all go together.

Again, keep up the good work!!
Thank you.

Lumberg said on Apr 09 2008

Fantastic. This is the only Gmail skin I've kept for more than one day. It's so well done I often fill time moving my mouse around and watching the pretty colors while I'm on the phone. (I have a sad existence.)

Remember the Milk seems to have basic functionality, but the trying to change the task view does bad things.

getsome831 said on Apr 09 2008

Yep, other sytles conflicting alright. Thanks for the tip. Much better now.

virooz said on Apr 09 2008

Exelent work! :)

I've been wondering is it possible to include images inside the code, for example like in this: http://userstyles.org/styles/226

Thanks
Damian

KJ Loh said on Apr 08 2008

Hi there,
I like this style very much. However I wonder if the font colour at the side button (inbox, etc) and the "send", "save now" can be darker. I guess it provide better contrast with the button background. thanks a lot.

jopicar said on Apr 08 2008

i like this plugin a lot, thanks :)
But..., ...i´m actually using gmail in spanish because i´m trying to improve my spanish and the style doesn´t work :( i´m sure you are working hard on it ;)
So, if i can help you, i´d do as well as i can.
Thanks again :)

macstack said on Apr 08 2008

Not sure if this is just me or not, but when I send a link in the gmail chat, it's yellow, and looks good, but when someone sends me a link and I click it, the link goes back to the purple that is hard to read. not sure if this is just me or if its fixable. ;) looking great!!!

mahvin said on Apr 07 2008

The task toggle on RTM shows up scrollbars (apparently text size has nothing to do with this bug) and causes scrollbars in place of text. In Compose/Email, the same effect occurs when entering text input in the TO: section. This requires reducing font size under 12px, which is way too small for me to view.

Your design updates are fantastic and I am actually encouraged to use my gmail web interface over thunderbird. Good job, Ev!

Joepez said on Apr 07 2008

Updated to the latest version, still getting the reply box not opening up fully. Only way to work around this is to pop out the email reply. Have an old version (4/4) and the problem doesn't exist there.

ian320 said on Apr 07 2008

Not sure if this helps, but I get the Reply bug as well, and I noticed that if I hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) the reply box shows up. Also, another workaround is to click the popout box to compose in a new window.

s@ndman said on Apr 07 2008

Very sharp. I'll keep my eye on this one. Thanks!

Theberge43 said on Apr 07 2008

Hi still a great theme ... !
Little bug the "Reply to All" button isn't wide enough.
Also, I can't write when I hit Reply, the text input doesn't expand enough.
Another thing : When I hit reply, and then the popup window button, the info of the email (email, subject, previous email) doesn't show in the new window.

marissa said on Apr 06 2008

I love this redesign - except I can't access my Contacts. There's just a big blank white space where my Contacts should be!

misiael said on Apr 06 2008

It's possible to make that same style to other language ?? Example Polish ??
BTW
The best STYLE for Stylish :D
Fantastic

Bhanu Chowdary said on Apr 05 2008

Its nice style, thanks for this n my suggestion If u make rounded edge buttons then it will look more nice

Andor said on Apr 05 2008

This looks so good, I dropped Thunderbird, put a forward on my other emails, and just use your design instead. Thanks for all the great work!

t3knomanser said on Apr 04 2008

The labels area is nearly illegible on my laptop screen; the text is too light for the background. I changed it by modifying the appropriate section to use #515151.

Dominique JANY said on Apr 04 2008

I'm not an english user.
So sorry for my english !

My problem is that this style doesn't work correctly : the left of the page is too black (see the pictures)

My question : as regards the pb, how can i get it work ?

Thanks in advance.

Mattgic said on Apr 03 2008

This looks fantastic and as one who spends a lot of time in front of the screen and having configured any windows I can to dark themes this makes long term viewing much easier on the eyes.
I have disabled the better gmail extension as suggested by the author and do not have the remember the milk extension but your theme only displays on the login to gmail page and not in the mail page itself. Are there other incompatible extensions? Though in Ireland I have my gmail prefs set for US English (to allow use of IMAP) so that is not the problem.
5 out of 5 for style and helping me preserve my eyesight. Thank you.

grrifiedducky said on Apr 03 2008

Great skin, couple of problems though:

1. Settings area still has old look
2. Gchat windows still have old look

I am guessing you will be working on both of those in the future, otherwise, it is amazing

Mike.Showtime said on Apr 03 2008

First off, thanks for all of your effort on this gmail skin. It beats the hell out of any of the skins I've seen so far. This would be a definite 5-star, but it has 2 somewhat minor problems:

1. as mtrichards said, the domain version of gmail does not display the upper-lefthand links (start page, mail, calendar, documents, sites, etc.) as skinned
2. it seems to eliminate the package tracking and address mapping features that appear at the right when you have a tracking # or an address within the body of the e-mail. This is one of the cooler features of gmail...would be great if those could be kept in while the ads are kept out (or have an option to display that righthand bar since better gmail 2 also filters those ads but not the tracking/mapping links)

bounou1 said on Apr 03 2008

Amazing !! You are a killer !!
Please, dont stop the updates, post a link to your website or a txt file >> We beg you !

Feature request: update of the "More Actions" menu (to label...)

morose said on Apr 03 2008

Killer update to Gmail's appearance. I hope updates can continue as this style is really nice on the eyes! Great work.

vBm said on Apr 03 2008

Maybe to remove comments inside the code ( that'll save you some space ) and link the 'full' version as external page inside description for those that would like to understand it better.

Fredy said on Apr 03 2008

Troy said on Apr 02 2008

The style is great. One problem though, the compose email window isn't changed and looks odd. See screen shot: http://screencast.com/t/yw7I6xVR

wizard43 said on Apr 02 2008

Very professional look. (Google apps work well but tend to look amateurish in my opinion)..One think I had hoped for was to get rid of the popup when the mouse is over the sender name, but I see that you have already redesigned that box. Would your redesign make it any easier for me to do that for myself (and anyone else who wants it?)..I am impressed with what you have accomplished since I started looking into getting rid of the aforementioned popup and found that the Gmail page is indeed very complex.

m&m_limited said on Apr 02 2008

The bodywork is elegant ; once the engine will fit, I'll take it !
EDIT : about the engine : seems I've taken for granted others' comments : no problem here now that I've tried. Beautiful, makes we wonder if I should keep on downloading Gmail on POP3 ... :)

EDIT 2 : Getting better and better! I did notice a slight problem when composing mail : the background has the color of my about:blank page (dark in this case). Any way to keep that background white? Thanks!

Smeltn said on Apr 02 2008

I LOVE the look of this, but I have a problem......I can't use it. I actually use gmail notifier extension to tell me when I have new gmail, and when I click on the icon in my ff of course it carries me to the gmail site already logged in. But the actual link its using is : https://mail.google.com/mail/
This style changes the font style, but no color or style change. Any help on how to fix this?

mtrichards said on Apr 02 2008

Thanks! This is awesome. Only issue I have is that on the Google Apps for my Domain version of gmail the links at the very top are not formatted. Check it out: http://www.mmrichards.com/tmp/gmail_hdr.jpg

dsjkvf said on Apr 02 2008

Fantastic. I love it. I hated the way gmail looked before. I love the clean look. This is great. Thank you!

illuminea said on Apr 02 2008

This is fabulous! I can't stand the way gmail looks, and that's one of the reasons I hesitate to use it. But these styles make it so pretty! Thanks!

scragz said on Apr 02 2008

Really nice, but Remember The Milk is sort of a deal-breaker. And the stupid web clips thing was still unchanged. Otherwise awesome.

Jeffrey said on Apr 01 2008

beautiful redesign! just what i've been looking for! Have you looked at including styling for the Remember The Milk sidebar (which is a firefox extension)? I use that extension and it's pretty much illegible with the redesign turned on. Everything else looks GREAT!

Looks great!
But is there any chance to make it work in other languages? Polish for instance.. =)

Lanooz said on Mar 31 2008

Yay! This is so cool!

Will you let to use this style as a userscript with Greasemonkey?

PS: And....the 'save' button is missing in Settings :>

Alec said on Mar 26 2008

I'm very impressed. I think what remains are to change the color schemes of the Contacts sections.
Is there a way to modify the color of the "Loading" text background?

This is a difficult site to remaster. I think what you've done so far is very thorough and internally cohesive. I also like that your color modifications haven't created the same ugly effect around the "stars" like many other styles do.

DangerMouse said on Mar 26 2008

it not work on german ;(

skittleys said on Mar 26 2008

This looks like it's going to be great! The only thing that sticks out for me after all the updates is the white box at the bottom where it says how much space you're using and whatnot...

Mr.Big said on Mar 25 2008

So cool!!!!

I change all the fonts to:
"font-size: 12px !important;"

this is a better view for Simplefied Chinese

Pirana said on Mar 24 2008

It will be the greatest style for gmail if you continue to develop it!
