New Gmail Design for Everyone

July 6, 2022

Ars Technica reports that Gmail is rolling out a new theme for everyone and you can get rid of the big sidebar. Even though there are updates to the interface, you can adjust features to your liking. You will know that the update has arrived for your account when the interface turns blue. As Google’s blog states, “You’ll notice the new navigation now features Material You, our updated, fresh look and feel for your Google apps.” You can adjust the color to whatever you want. However, apparently you can’t have a ”white” background.

Another change you’ll probably want to do is to adjust the giant sidebar. It isn’t very obvious how to get rid of the sidebar, but the post has detailed instructions on how to configure the setting. Getting rid of the big sidebar gives you a lot more real estate for doing actual work.
