I'm very impressed. They really solved a lot of the issues I had with preview, such as multiple views for different screen sizes/resolutions.

Overall, the highly visual approach allows some hidden but useful features to emerge for the average user. However, I'm still on the fence about the excessive padding on the individual email items.

That padding is one of the only issues I have with the new layout. They should have left an option with the classic padding.

Did you watch the video? At 0:23, they click the little gear and it gives three different padding options.

When he selects "compact", it looks like the classic padding to me.

And... I was wrong :)

I just switched to the new look and (after changing the density to "Compact") I could not notice a difference on the padding.

It was a nice surprise.

Are you working on anything related to this design?

Even for a default template, the padding seems too much. Do you think it's the right default?

No, I'm commenting from experience on the preview that GMail had.

I'll watch the video when I get home, but Google is having a love affair with white space on this new layout, I'm doubtful about the padding on the email list.
