From: Evgueni Naverniouk | May 12 2009 11:37:27 PM



Today, we are releasing Gcal Redesigned version 2.0. This is a follow up from the Gmail Redesigned 3.0 update. Gcal Redesigned continues the latest trend of consistency across all the Google Redesigned styles.

Version 2.0 has been reworked from the ground up and optimized to increase performance and contrast.

Earlier today we also released an update to the Google Redesigned extension (version 3.0) which adds support for the new Firefox 3.5 browser. A big thank you to all our Supporter group testers for helping beta test this version.

Let us know what you think.

Gmail Redesigned Hits Version 3

From: Evgueni Naverniouk | April 28 2009 01:02:36 AM


Today we are thrilled to announce the release of Gmail Redesigned version 3.0.0. Gmail Redesigned comes packaged as part of our Google Redesigned extension. If you are a Google Redesigned user, you will automatically be updated to the new version the next time you launch your browser or within the 24 hour update period.

Version 3 has been reworked from the group-up. Our focus for this version was optimization, consistency and user requests. We've received over 200 emails, reviews and comments, and we've made notes about all your feature requests. The first thing you'll notice in this version is that the vertical space has been significantly reduced, which allows more content to fill up screen. This was one of the most popular requests we're heard from you.

This new version also introduces full support for the Older Version of Gmail. You can now enjoy the design of Gmail Redesigned while using the fast, older version of Google Mail. As well, we're also adding support for the new Google Contacts service. It is also part of the Gmail Redesigned style.


Under the hood, version 3 is nearly half the file size of its predecessor making it nearly twice as fast-loading. How are we able to make sure drastic reductions in size while adding so many new features? The biggest factor was the unification of many of the interface elements and further improvements of our compression algorithms. If you're interested in finding out more about our CSS compression, keep an eye out on our website as we will be releasing a brand new product called - CSS Compressor.

We hope you enjoy the new version, and as always let us know what you think on our forums. We love to hear from you.

Thank you,
