Mine isn't even loading half the time...

I liked the tabs on top... I need the horizontal space.

Edit: Though, I like the ability to delete/mark emails from the gadget now.

Mine just changed today too. I'm not a huge fan, but I'll probably get used to it.

It sucks.

There is less horizontal screen space due to the tab on the left. My RSS feeds look like a big wall of text all scrunched together. :(

Yeah, maybe they'll allow those side tabs to collapse/expand to help with the horizontal issue.

I still think people don't realize that everyone doesn't browse full-screen.

Any way to change it? I used to just have headlines and now I have headlines and the first bit of text. I dont' want the text or the first bit of an email. Takes up too much space. Just changed today for me.

it loads a lot quicker and the backend seems to be much lighter. That is good stuff.

Uh, if you click the "GMail" in the title of the widget, it open up the full GMail interface.

I hated that too. First I turned off the feed descriptions which helped a lot, then I minimised/collapsed the Home tab. When the page reloaded, the wasted space on the left disappeared. Victory is mine!

Click the little triangle on the Home tab, then 'Edit this tab' and switch off 'Show a short description for each feed article'. That works for the feeds, not sure about emails.

I turned of descriptions, but I can't make the Home tab go away.
