Gmail improves interface a little bit
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Maybe in a few hours, gmail's interface looks different. When I logged in one second ago, my eyes told me there's something different: the Buttons.

To recall the memory to compare, I have to google the old interface out:

The buttons in new interface look more compact, beautiful. Not ugly grey buttons any more (those in screenshot above are styled by Vista theme, but in Windows classic theme, they are like this:
).
They are also separated into 3 groups: simple button, drop down list, more action.
The change improved usability. I like it.
Tips: Note that there is a "Mark as read" button in first screenshot.
It can be enabled by a plug-in in "Setting -> Labs -> Mark as Read Button". Small function, but really handy.
Google changed favorite icon again
Saturday, January 10th, 2009![]()
Previously in May 2008, Google changed the favorite icon. Today I found that the icon has been changed again.
New icon is white lower case "g" in colorful background combine by blue, red, green and yellow.
I think all popular browsers are supporting tabs in same window. A unique icon could help user identify your website quickly in a lot of tabs. This new icon does a good job. It looks more attractive in a series of tabs.

Small change in Gmail Contact
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Just found that in Gmail address book, QQ was added in the IM option list.

QQ is the most widely used IM in China. When ICQ was getting popular at the end of last centry, QQ, previous called QICQ, caught the chance in China. Compare to MSN, ICQ or other IMs, QQ has the local advantage. In China, it has become a standard contact method for long. Now it's added in Gmail address book too.
I have a QQ number of 6 digits, which could be valuable now. In another hand, now a long QQ number is hard to remember.
The English version of QQ for Windows is available here. And a Mac version too.
