Google began rolling out its new look for Gmail Tuesday. According to an update on Gmail’s blog, it’s now available for everyone. For now, you can choose whether or not you want the new Gmail, but it’s likely to switch over for all eventually.
Here are nine things you should know about Gmail’s new features:
1. Resizing Options
Gmail
users can now control the density of their inbox. Depending on your
preference of white space, you choose manually between three sizes:
comfortable, cozy or compact.
2. Cleaner Interface
An overall cleaner interface could make the initial shock of a heavy unread inbox a little easier to bear.
3. Adjustable Chat and Labels
You can now adjust the size of labels and chat areas to view more or less of each.
Labels have also been moved to the top of your inbox in tab form, making it even easier to filter your inbox according to priority.

4. Automatically Adapt
The new gmail automatically adapts to fit any size window. As you resize the window, the inbox becomes more or less dense.
5. HD Themes
Like
before, you can select themes to personalize your inbox, but now there
are high definition choices available. After testing on various sized
screens, there is not a hugely noticeable difference, however the images
are easier on the eyes.
6. Redesigned Email
Emails
have been redesigned, making it feel more like a conversation. The
people included in the conversation can be found on the right,
appearing just as they would in Gchat with their status.
7. Profile Picture
As we recently noticed, there have been some changes made to Google's photo editing applications. These have been integrated with Gmail, allowing you to upload and edit a profile picture.
8. Customizable Search
Taking
a cue from its own search engine features, Google's search in your
inbox is customizable to your content, making it easier to find what
you're looking for even faster.
9. Search Filter
There is also now a filter feature in the search box, making it easy to sift through a certain time period or find an attachment
