"It&amp;#039;s been a big day for Gmail users\u2014first a new email interface, and then a quickly recalled Gmail iOS app. Although the buggy app received flack for obvious reasons (a new product is only nice if it works!), the Gmail change garnered plenty of grumbling buzz as well. Google&amp;#039;s calling the new Gmail &amp;quot;cleaner,&amp;quot; with a &amp;quot;modern look,&amp;quot; but for many users, it&amp;#039;s being lamented as basic and bothersome. In its attempt to streamline the interface, the standard blue color is gone, as are its themes. The main content areas\u2014inbox panel, chat list, message queue and navigation bar\u2014appear in a more blockish and bold format. In addition, users can adjust the display settings (selecting between &amp;quot;comfortable,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;cozy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;compact&amp;quot;), and profile photos will appear on the message you send and receive. What&amp;#039;s more surprisingly than its look, however, is the fact that Google rolled out the new interface despite bugs with its Labs features; special themes are also a few days away, as is an updated version of Google Calendar. Although the new look is currently optional, eventually all users will have to use the new interface. What do you think of Gmail&amp;#039;s new look? Will you make the switch?
