Google today rolled out a new look and feel for Gmail. This is in line with UI re-hauls being done for most of its applications. Google describes this look as elastic meaning that the interface can adapt to various screen sizes ranging from smart phones to smart Televisions.
It will be made available to everyone by an email from the gmail team. If you don't want to wait till then, you can click on the floating "Switch to the new look" link shown on the bottom left of the page.
The new interface looks very simple and in line with other applications like google docs, blogger etc which were transitioned to the new look earlier.
The new look in the default Cozy display density setting.
You can always use the setting button (gear) and choose compact or cozy if you feel the spacing too much that it wastes your screen real estate.
You can go back to the old look anytime by choosing the "Revert to old look temporarily" option from the settings button.
Another great feature is the HD themes available for the new look. Below is Gmail with Turf theme.
