My biggest new-Gmail-design pet-peeve is that the Display Density setting is only respected if your browser window is wide enough.
I prefer the "Comfortable" setting. I have a 22" monitor at 1680x1050, but I don't have my browser window maximized (it only takes up 65-75% of the screen width).
So, GMail has helpfully reduced my display density to "Cozy", ignoring my setting.
As far as I know, there's no way to "fix" this; it's a known issue but there's no workaround other than making my browser window wider.
- notJim 15y agoIt took my months of using the new design before I realized this. My impression before was simply that the design was “broken” on my desktop computer until one day I resized the window and discovered this issue.
