In Android, Gmail released an update, and it asked me for Default, Comfortable or Compact appearance.

I chose the Default, ofc I don't like it, I miss the old red bar already..

Now I want to try the Comfortable appearance in the Gmail application. How to?

  • FYI, the Default, Comfortable or Compact choices refer solely to the density of the messages grid/rows, not the overall appearance/color scheme of the app.

For the Android App, click the 3 horizontal bars (top left) -> scroll down to Settings -> General Settings (the top option) -> Conversation List Density (Default / Comfortable / Compact.)

It took me forever to finally find this setting! It was driving me crazy.

  • Extra level of difficulty — in another language this setting might not mention density at all. In Russian it says something like "mode of conversation chain". That makes sense...

Click the gear icon in the top right corner, select "display density," then select your choice. By the way, I think "compact" is the most space efficient and most like the original gmail display.
