helvetimail

I love gmail. I loved it even before they offered themes. When they started offering themes, I loved it even more. Still, I never got really excited about any of them. I picked the minimalist one and called it good.

My sister was visiting last weekend, and while she was using her gmail account I saw that hers was more minimal STILL. It was lovely. I was EXCITED about it. And I was jealous she found it first.

It’s called Helvetimail. It’s a userscript that works with your browser to change the look of your gmail. I love it. To death.

I even donated some money to the dude who keeps it up, because you know what? I appreciate that people work hard to provide good design for free. All you have to do is NOT charge me, and I will pay you. Ha.
