Does your Gmail look like this?

I loathe the boring look of Gmail. While pillaging the internet for a solution I stumbled across a Firefox extension called Better Gmail. I’m pretty sure it’s a collection of Gmail enhancements wrapped up in one easily manageable extension, one of which being Skins (one of which you see above).

Ahhh…that’s better. If you don’t already have it, Check it out.

Update: It just asked me to update to 0.7 and the above links point to 0.6.1. If it doesn’t do it automatically, check for updates and install ‘em.

    I don’t mind the look of Gmail too much. I hate Google Reader’s UI.

    I am much happier with my Gmail since I switched to the above a couple of weeks ago. Aesthetics definitely count for something. I tried the better Reader plugin as well, and while it is OK it’s no where near as nice as the Gmail counterpart.

    I really wish Google would invest more into the aesthetics of their products.

    Hi,
    even though it loos cool, but if you have emails that appear to have different layouts, newsletters for an example, they break in here, I had this skin for Gmail through grease monkey, and it brke a newsletter I designed, so when I switch off that skin, it works great, I m sure these folks will look in this matter later too !

    peace
