It appears Gmail’s new look has been activated for all users.
Sure, you could have had the new look back last month, but then it was your choice to switch. Now you’re greeted with a box informing you of the change, accompanied by the following video:

I do not like Gmail's new look. Many, many other people do not like Gmail's new look.
I have read that the old look will be "retired" soon. My question is, why? Why forcibly retire a look that many users tell you they prefer?
Please do not force us to switch to a new (and might I add, hideous) interface if we don't like it. Changing things for the sake of changing them, despite quite a bit of negative feedback, and more importantly, without giving users the choice to not have their interface changed, is a horribly blind management decision. I stopped using my Google Reader after the layout switch. I will stop using Gmail if a new layout is likewise forced upon me. Users want choice and ease-of-use. If you take away that choice and force users to adapt to a new look they may not like, you will lose users. (And I doubt you will be attracting new users based solely on the dubious merits of the new look.)
I sincerely hope Google is rethinking their plan to forcibly retire the old look. I am not the only user who hates the new look and will be perfectly happy to migrate to another email provider if it becomes apparent that my concerns do not matter to Google.
Also, an addendum: I also deeply resent being pestered by that "Switch to the new look" button. Closing it once should be more than enough indication to Gmail that I'm not interested. Making that button a permanent fixture every time I log in to Gmail is irritating, and seems pretty disrespectful of your users' wishes. If I'm not going to have any choice about being forced into the new look, at least let me permanently hide that button for my last few weeks of enjoying Gmail. For pete's sake. |

I personally dislike gmail constantly asking me for my phone number..."in case they need to get in touch with me". :roll:
That's why I have email! |
