[Preview] Gmail's new look

The new design plans to make Gmail more easy to use, with the user interface becoming a lot more cleaner. Users might not be happy with such design changes as most times, people are used to a particular design and have some sort of visual memory that can make them resist the idea of a new design.
Google will be rolling out new design and features across all Google products to make it more social. It seems this time Google will leave no stone unturned to make sure it cracks the social media puzzle.
