Not to disparage this launch at all... a lot of people will love this... but I wish my Inbox was ever that clean to be able to see the picture :)

Enable priority inbox... then minimize ;)

SaneBox[1] has been a game changer for me on this front. I had to change the way I deal with email a bit to conform to their recommended practices, but since then email hasn't been a problem for me at all.

Why, just why.. First they designed the new clean Gmail UI, then allowed people to desecrate it with pictures of their babies?

WHy is it a problem if it is opt in? People should be able to make their workspace look ugly (or more beautiful) if they choose.

The UI on that page is quite borked[1] for me. Chrome latest on osx.

Also, interestingly, it appears imgur has moved to europe...

Hmm... so many different places to set background images for. Wonder when I'll be able to set a background image for my browser and have that apply as default for any website that doesn't override it. Is that possible with an extension?

Yes. Opera has that functionality built in where you have your personal stylesheet that typically overrides all website stylesheets. I couldn't find any built-in functionality for that on Chrome and Firefox, however, Stylish[1] has been around for a while and offers the functionality in a browser extension.

You don't need stylish to apply custom CSS in Firefox. userContent.css is suffice. Chrome has something similar.

Wow. You can choose between light and dark. This is not a theme, but rather a background you can change. That's it. Want to change the opacity of the overlay? Too bad. Want to customize colors? Too bad. Want a scroll bar that you can see and is not just a gray blob on the side? Too bad.
