You use express only?

Regular outlook supports POP3. Shouldn't be a problem.

Well, these pics shrink and enlarge gradually, and push the other icons sideways. eg. Mouse over the maps pic, and watch the two ends of the row icons get bigger. You'll see the "Web Search" and the "More..." icons move outwards. Plus there is a fade in/out title above each icon when you mouse over it.

I believe that's easily done. When you adjust the width/height of an image, the adjacent object move as to not overlap.

Javascript/css can also do this with opacity I believe. Similar to what they did on google maps.

 
Amazing how so many people get off on what a few simple lines of html/javascript/css can accomplish.
I guess most of you are very easily amused.

it's not that we're amazed. it's that a big company like google is willing to let their employees do something like this.

PS. the text above the icons is plain text. they change the color (from white to black) to make the apperance of it fading.
