A new version of Gmail used by Google employees has been leaked through a Google Chrome OS bug report. Google employees get to try all the good/not-so-good/bad/excellent stuff before it hits the market. A routine testing for its apps and one of the first stages of the testing period lies with the google employees. The leaked screenshot suggests many changes in the existing Gmail. It was first reported by blog Google Operating System that also carried the screenshot.Most of them are design and navigation changes but makes a good change. One change that will catch the eye is the three separate text link at the top of the left sidebar, “Mail”, “Contacts” and “Tasks.” Though these are already present in the existing version, but are grouped together in this one. The “Compose Mail” link is no more text link but a button making it stand out from other menus. Another change is introduction of drop-down menus, perhaps making the page interface uncluttered and clean. For instance like ‘select’ text link with options like all, none, unread, starred and so on are clubbed under a drop-down menu. Also, managing different google accounts looks easy with another drop-down menu next to the email account detail, on the top right corner of the page. Something Google has promised its users. The icing on the cake or as we think it is, the “Call phone” button available in the chat window. This is the part of their on-going plan to integrate Google voice with Gmail. But one thing to remember, these changes are mere prototypes, what actually is rolled out to people can be a completely different design. Whatever we could break down from the leaked screenshot is up here for you to read and see. Changes are refreshing; a lot of integration and an attempt to create a clean interface are on the cards.
