Unless you're using the basic HTML view for Gmail, I don't see how Gmail is minimalistic.
- lennel 13y agoIt got a bit better again, they dropped the top menu for calender, drive, plus etc into a non-modal popup.
- Andrex 13y agoCare to explain how Gmail _isn't_ minimalistic? Compared to native email apps with excessive amounts of panes, buttons, sorters, etc., Gmail is minimalistic nirvana. http://i.imgur.com/XiwAn8U.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XiwAn8U.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YSBK5us.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YSBK5us.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8Acgrn1.png http://i.imgur.com/8Acgrn1.png vs http://i.imgur.com/RMg8UPY.png http://i.imgur.com/RMg8UPY.png Hell, even compare Gmail today to how it used to look: http://i.imgur.com/fHQjL0n.png http://i.imgur.com/fHQjL0n.png The new Gmail's focus on whitespace, hiding buttons that don't do anything yet (until you check things of course), the new compose panel (with ultra-minimalistic controls and send to/from fields), Google's removal of the black bar, the auto-overflow for labels, lack of borders, lack of "containers," etc. etc. all convince me of Gmail's minimalism. Just about the only thing that isn't minimal about it anymore is the footer.
