iOS7 redesigned by usvsth3m

TiOS7 redesigned by usvsth3mhe new iOS7 design has been much debated. Is it an improvement, or is it too ‘flat’? Everybody seems to have their own opinion. And now it is up to you. Thanks to the guys at Us vs Th3m, you no longer need to be a graphic designer. Redesigning iOS7 is just a case of picking and clicking. And before you know it, you have become the next Jony Ive.

Granted, the number of choices is limited. But it is good fun to click around and see what your iPhone would look like. So, head over to the iOS7 redesigner and share with us what your redesign would look like.

Google brings back full screen compose for Gmail

compose

composeA couple of months ago, Google changed the way you write an email in Gmail. You no longer got a new screen in which you are writing the email. Instead a smaller window would open in the bottom right corner. However, not everyone was happy about that. And Google has listened. So, yesterday they launched their new full screen compose window.

In essence, it is just a popup that goes over the screen you are watching. So, unlike the old compose, it does not send you to a separate page. Other than that, there is not much of a difference. The new compose takes up enough space on your screen and centers nicely. It has the formatting bar in there as a default as well.

You can switch to the new full screen compose by clicking the facing arrows in the top right corner of the compose window to switch to full screen. If you click the more options button, you can set Gmail to open the new full screen compose as your default setting.

So, do you use Gmail at all? And if so, which compose window do you like best?
