  1. I like it more than the default theme, but I still prefer the theme “shiny”

  2. I hate the new design. Its too flat looking. Tried it and went back to my old theme.

  3. i used to use firefox with google redesigned as default for gmail, but this preview is much better and cleaner, i will be using that now.

  4. I’m not going to use it I like the artistic themes.All in all this new Google look isnt very appealing its too boring they could have atleast made the little side icons(photo,news,etc)match the Google logo color scheme.

  5. i accidently change the preview theme to something else, and when i change it back, its gone from my settings!! HELP!!!!

  6. Wow! You can also say, “l**ked, Metro UI for your Gmail account!”
    Awesome!
