Among those features are some fantastic quality-of-life changes. Though subtle, one of the design changes is simply to make the whole page look more uniform in design language. The search bar at the top of your inbox no longer looks out of place, as it now has a transparency that shows through to whatever background you have set. Though we aren't sure how the new Gmail will allow you to have inbox backgrounds, we can confirm that your existing background will remain intact after the upgrade.

The Primary, Social, and Promotions tabs at the top of your inbox will now fit neatly over the list of emails. Where your emails all reside, Google has added more color, and easy access to attachments. Unread emails have a brighter highlight than before, and selected emails will now be highlighted blue.

In the default view, emails with attachments will actually show what those attachments are, and you can open them straight from your inbox without digging into the email. Google has also added icons for the labels for different email types Inbox, Starred, Important, Sent, etc. There's even a new type: Snoozed. We'll get into that next.
