Cool new look for Gmail! (I don't use Google Calendar). However, I'm quite happy with it's simple, organized look - at least it's not as bland and ugly as Knol! Urghhh... I remember being excited about that when they first announced it a long time ago - now I'm not even bothering to sign up! Wikipedia, though it has spam and stupid people, is still much better! However, I am using the Firefox extension "Better Gmail" now and then, and there you can also change the look of the Gmail a bit. For example, you can make the whole interface any color you want, like green, you can add HTML to your messages and images - the only downfall is that it has to be used with the "Older Version" of Gmail. It seems the author doesn't want to upgrade it for the newer one. Still, for me it's enough and it's definitely worth it to click the "Older Version" link every time just to make "Better Gmail" work. Did I tell you how it lets you make HTML signatures too, without the two annoying dashes (--)? Trust me, it's pretty cool. You should check it out everyone! :D Perhaps then the author will feel the need to upgrade!

Some people in the forums hate it though, lol. @LayGuy: Hey! Thanks for sharing that one. I'm gonna ditch the Stylish extension and use this instead. I'd recommend everyone to use the extension too. That way, if there is an update to the style, you'll get notified automatically and easier to update too! Glad you guys like the skins. Some people in the forums hate it though, lol.

What got me though is the need to always update the style. Now these guys have their own Firefox plugin which does this for you.

Which do you prefer Yahoo or Gmail. I am just wondering because a lot of people are saying Gmail is better. Just wanna know your opinion, thanks ;0 Thanks for the tips Mike but honestly I don’t use Gmail, only in Yahoo. Which do you prefer Yahoo or Gmail.
