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.
