It’s a very cool, easy and safe way to make your Gmail a little more personal, AND to get rid of some of the filler stuff!

Some of the cool features include:

  • Change the colour of your inbox – Choose colours from green to dark green!
  • View weather, google calendar and news headlines along side your emails – Any Google IG module can be added.
  • Insert images from your Picasa web album in to your emails – Google lets you send emails from Picasa, but not send photos from Gmail.
  • Insert smileys, images, tables and html in to your emails
  • Change the attachment paperclip to an icon indicating the type of attachment – The attachment icon reflects the filetype of the attachment.
  • Complete integration with Gmail – Settings are changed from the Gmail settings page and they are stored on your account in a special Gmail label meaning your settings are persistent from computer to computer.
  • Make the navigation (Inbox, Starred, Sent Mail, etc) horizontal
  • Fix the navigation in place so that you don’t have to scroll to the top of the page to see it
  • Zebra stripes on mailbox – pretty!
  • Hide various page elements (invite panel, page footer, your email address from the top right of inbox – may be useful for public computers)
  • Post Data
