It's actually working better for me when it comes to the viewing window. It was cropped bad before and I had to adjust the slider all the time. Does monitor size or resolution matter?
@travis.boone It's actually monitor smart now! If you are using a laptop it will adjust the popup window a little smaller than if you have a monitor - then the popup will be larger
@peter.gibb thank you, good feedback, I will at least add horizontal scrollbar - but you are probably using a laptop screen that's why your popup window is a bit more narrow, those with monitor's get slightly larger popup windows, let's see how the others comment on the situation.
It would be great to have a button to open emails directly from the overview of the pop-up window. Currently, if I hover over an email there are only buttons for archiving, deleting and marking as read. If I want to open it, I have to open the preview first.
Maybe, you could make the selection of buttons customizable just like when using the default design. That would be great.
@jason.savard I get lots of (mostly media and tech) newsletters and usually want to open more than one of the curated links. Each time I middle click one of the links for opening them in the background, the pop-up closes (having tried stable version as well, same problem) and the main browser window gains focus. That's why I read those newsletters only in a native Gmail tab.
Second scenario: answering emails. Whenever replying with more than one or two sentences, I prefer to do this from within Gmail. As I get my work emails forwarded to my Gmail account (and answer them with an alias), this happens quite often.
Edit: Obviously, customizing the selection of buttons for the non-material design partly affects the material version as well. E.g., when disabling the delete button, it also disappears in material view (no effect when doing the same for "open" or "reply", as there are no such buttons in material design).
@jason.savard Thanks a lot. (I personally don't need the reply button. When I open the email, I have my hands on the keyboard anyway. Pressing "r" inside the Gmail tab triggers a reply, that's enough for me. Don't wanna mess up the interface with another button that I hardly need.)
The back button is great but if it auto advances you to the next email it gets automatically flagged as read when hitting back button correct? I would like to have the option to choose what I read next. If that's possible if not then I'll have to modify how I navigate it then. Thanks
