To accomplish that, we had many real Gmail users try out changes to the look and provide feedback during its development.<br /> <br /> One of the most important ways we obtained feedback was through usability studies. In these types of studies we observe people trying out our products in a controlled environment. We invited Gmail users from all walks of life to participate in usability studies and used the results to find problems and identify improvements before we launched.<br /> <br /> For Gmail’s new look, we started very early. Long before any Googler began using or even building the new look, our designers created an early prototype. We then had Gmail users participate in a usability study either by coming to one of our offices or remotely connecting from their homes. <br /> <br /> <center><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TwN8KlI58syhQ8iRVlT9heJeHz3UYSaHTvrtAakDrQJM8V8W_kOri0Vx8XyQqgyj1sYsTfl1uDpTa9MUefY8dNK_GX-bjhr-t3VaRZbAMP_yKZE_0_3mZ4Y1BwhmFFo-oc3I/s1600/labimage3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TwN8KlI58syhQ8iRVlT9heJeHz3UYSaHTvrtAakDrQJM8V8W_kOri0Vx8XyQqgyj1sYsTfl1uDpTa9MUefY8dNK_GX-bjhr-t3VaRZbAMP_yKZE_0_3mZ4Y1BwhmFFo-oc3I/s400/labimage3.png" width="300" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">An example of one of our usability labs.

We then looked at how easy or difficult it was to complete those tasks, and made changes based on this feedback. For example, one of the things we found with our prototype was that we had put too much emphasis on conversation level actions at the expense of per-message actions. As a result, our study participants had difficulty finding the reply button on each message. In response, we changed its appearance, size, and location to make the reply button easier to see.<br /> <br /> As we continued to develop the new look, we evaluated our progress through additional usability studies with even more people. Much of what we captured from these studies was users’ first reactions to the new look. But Gmail is something people use repeatedly, not just once. So in addition to first impressions, we were also interested in seeing how people adjusted to the new look as they used it repeatedly in their daily lives. To find that out, we conducted a different kind of study called a longitudinal study. Longitudinal studies are used to observe the longer term effects our products have on people’s usage. <br /> <br /> The longitudinal study consisted of turning on the new look for a group of Gmail users. We captured their initial reactions after their first experience. Then we let them use the new look in Gmail as they normally would as part of their everyday lives. As the days and weeks passed by, we periodically checked with them to see how they were adjusting to all the changes. Like with anything new, there were some changes that our participants initially needed time to adjust to, but later came to prefer as they used the new look more. On the other hand, problems that were not seen during the first couple times of use later emerged after more prolonged use. For example, many of the changes we made to the new left navigation were the result of people reporting their repeated experiences using labels and the chat area over time.<br /> <br /> These studies have been absolutely critical in helping us build Gmail’s new look. Much of how it looks and behaves is a result of people participating in these studies and giving us their feedback.

For example, many of the changes we made to the new left navigation were the result of people reporting their repeated experiences using labels and the chat area over time.<br /> <br /> These studies have been absolutely critical in helping us build Gmail’s new look. Much of how it looks and behaves is a result of people participating in these studies and giving us their feedback.

Responsive design implies that a page or application should dynamically re-adjust itself based on your environment. The specifics of the device that a user is using, and in particular the size of their browser window, should have an impact on the way the application presents itself. To put it simply, Gmail needs to look and feel great on a tiny netbook screen, on a high resolution 30” monitor, or anything in between.<br /> <br /> You can try this out yourself if you are using <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/help/newlook.html">Gmail’s new look</a>. Open up Gmail and make your browser window much smaller. Everything should crunch down as you adjust to give you a better experience in a smaller window. No matter what size your browser window is, Gmail should look and feel great out of the box.<br /> <br /> We also thought quite a bit about the density of the information on the screen in the new design. Gmail’s old design packs a huge amount of information into a small space. While this is perfect for some, many people appreciate a more airy design with more whitespace between lines and elements on the page. This is especially true on larger monitors.<br /> <br /> We wanted Gmail to be more attractive and easier to read by default, so if you’re on a larger monitor you will see that the items in your inbox are spaced farther apart than they were in the old design. We believe that this results in a better overall experience, but it does take some getting used to. In our internal testing we found that most of us adjusted to the new spacing after about a week and found the old spacing cramped and uncomfortable when they looked back at the old design.<br /> <br /> Others, however, found the original spacing to be ideal and wanted to see as much information as possible without scrolling, even on a large monitor. We added a density setting to the gear menu in the toolbar to make sure that everybody can find a setting that works for them: <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/help/newlook_sizes.html">Comfortable, Cozy, or Compact</a>.<br /> <br /> Comfortable is the spacing that we recommend for most people. With your density set to Comfortable, the display adjusts fluidly based on screen size.<br /> <center><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOPEXaU8bqG0N-Rai2ZuY5GK81UhXR4iyWfRPPZqKARQhyz-1BAWLKQJLE604TZUmsFYP3uvByTK0EQg8E42USe-Llj6X5laMjOGyfz2ahKWBzB6hCMUiAMj1f1OUpQ-6kG_M/s1600/newlarge.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOPEXaU8bqG0N-Rai2ZuY5GK81UhXR4iyWfRPPZqKARQhyz-1BAWLKQJLE604TZUmsFYP3uvByTK0EQg8E42USe-Llj6X5laMjOGyfz2ahKWBzB6hCMUiAMj1f1OUpQ-6kG_M/s1600/newlarge.png" width="500" /></a></center><br /> Compact is the densest setting and matches the line spacing that existing Gmail users are used to. With your density set to Compact the display will stay dense no matter what size your window is.<br /> <center><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6-cpbysxj1lzC5r8DOk43ip6E0UCpjmEowNBDhqvEiB1LrCV0mdosIvU0wjj_mXZ3phQWg1vE36XDYSMRJx1Riavu9eEAYO5A4-QYeDGZKwFx-bDVSWjwxUy9TaWOZ1zPvjB/s1600/compact.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6-cpbysxj1lzC5r8DOk43ip6E0UCpjmEowNBDhqvEiB1LrCV0mdosIvU0wjj_mXZ3phQWg1vE36XDYSMRJx1Riavu9eEAYO5A4-QYeDGZKwFx-bDVSWjwxUy9TaWOZ1zPvjB/s1600/compact.png" width="500" /></a></center><br /> Cozy is somewhere in the middle. With your density set to Cozy the display will get a little denser when you make your window small but the changes aren’t as dramatic.<br /> <br /> Mathletes among you may recognize that the density setting is really a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_function">ceiling</a> function.<br /> <br /> We think Gmail should be smart enough to always make itself look good on your screen, so we incorporated responsive design. We also think you should be able to see what happens when you change your settings, so we put the density settings in the gear menu right next to your inbox. When you make a change, you can immediately see what it looks like. Our density settings reflect our design philosophy that Gmail’s new look should be more responsive, personal, and beautiful. <br /> <br /> You can switch to the new look today by clicking on <b>Switch to the new look</b> in the bottom-right of <a href="http://www.gmail.com">Gmail</a>. <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jason Cornwell, User Experience Designer</span><br /> <br /> When our design team looked at tackling a redesign across Google properties, <a href="http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/01/12/guidelines-for-responsive-web-design/">responsive design</a> was high on our list of priorities.

With your density set to Comfortable, the display adjusts fluidly based on screen size.<br /> <center><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOPEXaU8bqG0N-Rai2ZuY5GK81UhXR4iyWfRPPZqKARQhyz-1BAWLKQJLE604TZUmsFYP3uvByTK0EQg8E42USe-Llj6X5laMjOGyfz2ahKWBzB6hCMUiAMj1f1OUpQ-6kG_M/s1600/newlarge.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOPEXaU8bqG0N-Rai2ZuY5GK81UhXR4iyWfRPPZqKARQhyz-1BAWLKQJLE604TZUmsFYP3uvByTK0EQg8E42USe-Llj6X5laMjOGyfz2ahKWBzB6hCMUiAMj1f1OUpQ-6kG_M/s1600/newlarge.png" width="500" /></a></center><br /> Compact is the densest setting and matches the line spacing that existing Gmail users are used to. With your density set to Compact the display will stay dense no matter what size your window is.<br /> <center><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6-cpbysxj1lzC5r8DOk43ip6E0UCpjmEowNBDhqvEiB1LrCV0mdosIvU0wjj_mXZ3phQWg1vE36XDYSMRJx1Riavu9eEAYO5A4-QYeDGZKwFx-bDVSWjwxUy9TaWOZ1zPvjB/s1600/compact.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq6-cpbysxj1lzC5r8DOk43ip6E0UCpjmEowNBDhqvEiB1LrCV0mdosIvU0wjj_mXZ3phQWg1vE36XDYSMRJx1Riavu9eEAYO5A4-QYeDGZKwFx-bDVSWjwxUy9TaWOZ1zPvjB/s1600/compact.png" width="500" /></a></center><br /> Cozy is somewhere in the middle. With your density set to Cozy the display will get a little denser when you make your window small but the changes aren’t as dramatic.<br /> <br /> Mathletes among you may recognize that the density setting is really a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_function">ceiling</a> function.<br /> <br /> We think Gmail should be smart enough to always make itself look good on your screen, so we incorporated responsive design. We also think you should be able to see what happens when you change your settings, so we put the density settings in the gear menu right next to your inbox. When you make a change, you can immediately see what it looks like. Our density settings reflect our design philosophy that Gmail’s new look should be more responsive, personal, and beautiful. <br /> <br /> You can switch to the new look today by clicking on <b>Switch to the new look</b> in the bottom-right of <a href="http://www.gmail.com">Gmail</a>. <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Gmail Blog:Changing information density in Gmail’s new look&url=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html&via=gmail'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html' data-url='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/changing-information-density-in-gmails.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Gmail%20Blog' rel='tag'> Gmail Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7312979595128666265' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/11/new-way-to-connect-with-gmail-and.html' itemprop='url' title='A new way to connect with Gmail and friends'> A new way to connect with Gmail and friends </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> November 7, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Sarah Price, Community Manager</span><br /> <br /> Today, the Google+ team launched Pages, a new way for you to build relationships with the things you love.

And when we do, we want easy access to our important messages so we can respond quickly and get back to life -- or slinging birds at thieving green pigs.<br /> <br /> With that in mind, we’ve created <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/gmail/id422689480?mt=8">a new Gmail app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch</a>. We’ve combined your favorite features from the Gmail mobile web app and iOS into one app so you can be more productive on the go. It’s designed to be fast, efficient and take full advantage of the touchscreen and notification capabilities of your device.

Today, we’re giving you an in-depth look at the new design. If you like what you see, over the next few days you’ll be able to switch to the new look by clicking on <b>Switch to the new look</b> in the bottom-right of <a href="http://www.gmail.com">Gmail</a>.<br /> <br /> <center><iframe width="500" height="284" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vfW5e6jVsMs?rel=0& showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br /> <b>Streamlined conversations</b><br /> Conversation view has been completely redesigned to help you read through your email threads. You’ll now see profiles pictures for your contacts, so it’s easier to keep track of who said what. We also stripped out as much as possible so you can focus on communicating with your friends and colleagues.<br /> <center><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfk6N6N956oH5jsobcruOD8nFqfAsWt7ggLVvO2-LfGqrLKt1fTF-xsMJ5GcMF92mzEEzFmdTaOyccw3yWt0tXMLrVWm5S-PRKHHGuqj5wLH2wklTVezVDId1QcfVsDqvlCICq/s1600/conversationlarge.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfk6N6N956oH5jsobcruOD8nFqfAsWt7ggLVvO2-LfGqrLKt1fTF-xsMJ5GcMF92mzEEzFmdTaOyccw3yWt0tXMLrVWm5S-PRKHHGuqj5wLH2wklTVezVDId1QcfVsDqvlCICq/s400/conversationlarge.png" width="400" /></a></center><br /> <b>Elastic density</b><br /> We know that you use Gmail from a variety of screen sizes and devices, so now the spacing between elements on the screen will automatically change based on the kind of display you’re using.

We've updated most of the old favorites as well and your theme will be automatically carried over to the new look.
