Gmail, Redesigned

The new look?Most of us use Gmail.

For me I use it for all my emails, excluding some important ones that go into a remote mailbox.

But the point is that using Gmail for 3 years since it came out, the interface gets old.

But thanks to Better Gmail 2 addon for firefox, this will change.

The new Addon from this link lets you:
  • Force you to connect on https(Secure)
  • Shows the Inbox count first (eg: "(1 unread, Google Mail - Mozilla Firefox")
  • Use Macros
The above list just shows you the first tab of options, there is a total 6 tabs, and one of them is Skins, and from that you can choose:
  • Gmail Blue
  • Greys and blues
  • Redesigned
  • None
I chose redesigned, and will never go back on that choice, its a awesome interface, I recommend you install them asap!!

  • Better Flickr - Version 0.3: Adds Firefox 3 support, Rich Edit, Photo Page Enhancer, and Thumbnail Page Enhancer.
  • Better Youtube (But be careful because of Viacom!) - Version 0.4.3: Adds Firefox 3 compatibility; Fixes FlowPlayer (alternate, non-autoplaying player) and YouTube Theater view.
