Elastic Density

Gmail now allows you to choose how much white space you want to see. Options includes the default “Comfortable”( which is quite heavy on the white space),“Cozy” (roughly the same as the old look) and “Compact” ( which squeezes even more messages into list view). The spacing between elements on the screen will automatically change based on the kind of display you’re using. If you prefer a denser view all the time, you can change your density manually in the Settings menu.
