| How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | Guest Poster | 12/7/11 6:07 AM | How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? When I open an email, I find it very difficult to read. The "hidden" features such as hidden email details, hidden label menus, hidden tasks, hidden contacts, etc. do NOT simplify the view for me |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | SoulSoniC | 12/19/11 4:18 PM | i second that.. the old look is better for so many reasons! i'd love to be able to just keep it. |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | WalkaboutTigger | 12/19/11 5:47 PM | It is my opinion, at present, from the perspective of someone who uses GMail more than 12 hours per day (yes, sad, I know) that Google User Interface Designers are going away from their roots. Instead of more customization and allowing us, the user, |

| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | mickey2dance | 12/22/11 5:49 AM | I also want the Old Look back permanently. I don't like the New Look and can't operate it. It is too confusing. |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | pidd | 1/3/12 4:36 PM | WE the users should have a choice of which format we use. Why do Google and other web companies feel they need to make decisions for us .Always when we get used to something they change it,this really p......ses us off.Maybe Google should concentrate |

| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | WalkaboutTigger | 1/5/12 1:21 PM | Simple answer is: you don't. Get used to the new look OR use a POP3/IMAP4 client OR find another mail provider. Personally, after doing some customization and saving the changes, I am liking the new look that I was able to create - it is significa |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | aprince42 | 1/5/12 1:36 PM | Where can I find the designer of the new look and the idiot who decided it would be the only choice? I need to slap both of them silly!! The new look hurts my eyes, it jumbles things on both sides to where thdy are unreadable. I cannot forward or |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | cfblair2056 | 1/5/12 2:35 PM | I hate the new look as well. I just switched to Gmail a couple of months ago after Yahoo changed their format. I guess I will have to change emails yet again! **sigh*! |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | cynthia.l.jones | 1/7/12 6:29 AM | I see that Gmail is trying to dictate to its users and refuses to give a choice. I now have to search for a new provider and move all my email because I cannot use this horrible new version. There was nothing wrong with the last. I refuse to use Chro |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | katiezee2 | 1/7/12 11:40 PM | Concurring with SO MANY others.. Gmail if fine as it is now, in the 'old look'.. . Not everyone believes all changes are good, especially when there is no obvious or apparent reason for the change. If Google insists on changing things 'just beca |

| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | Gothic | 4/20/12 1:32 PM | I dislike the new look immensely. I see the GMail team are going the same way as M$, you, the user, have no brains, we do it all for you, whether you like it or not!! Well thankfully I have set up pop3 and now don't need to suffer their pathetic atte |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | arielm222 | 4/21/12 8:12 PM | Hey Gothic, Can you please explain Pop3. I hate the new gmail. If I can't opt out of anymore I am moving to another mail client. Yahoo, hotmail are better by comparion to this BLACK ungly look. How symbolic gmail is all black bars and black formattin |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | Gothic | 4/21/12 9:42 PM | arielm222, I had originally intended simply forwarding the mail to one of my other email addresses, this can be set up in the gmail settings. What I have now decided is to delete my entire google account completely. I really have had enough. To think |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | jeandiata ~ She Who Must Not Be Titled | 4/21/12 10:23 PM | Ariel - First, if you don't like the black look, go to Settings > Themes and test drive the choices. You may find one that you like and that makes the new Gmail easier for you. If that doesn't work, then POP3/IMAP/Forwarding may be other options |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | popham | 4/22/12 6:29 AM | It should seem very clear to Google just how dissatisfied and even angry all of us are with the "new look". I have not only lost my homepage, but can no longer use my email effectively. This makes absolutely no sense for Google to alter and change a |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | popham | 4/22/12 6:37 AM | Rubbish. Changing Google formats and asking us to go through all that nonsense is insane. We do not have the time to go though all those machinations. We like the original Google formatting. Again, by changing to the "new look", Google is inviting a |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | andersnp | 4/22/12 6:45 AM | Google don't give a s@#t what any of you think. They believe their designers are God and you are nobody of importance. |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | Fuzzy | 4/22/12 6:55 AM | Google designed what they thought most people would like. On the forums, you are only going to see posts from those who don't like it. Those who are OK the new look won't post at all. |
| Re: How can I permanently keep the "old look" for Gmail? | andersnp | 4/22/12 7:21 AM | You are right that those who like it are less likely to post, unless they REALLY like it in order to defend it. I know about 50 people that use Gmail actively everyday, and none of them like the new look. Some accept it, but none like it. Google de |
