After the launch of Google+, Google redesigned Google Calender and now its Gmail. Gmail has come up with a new theme called “Preview” and “Preview Dense”, giving a clean and classic look and making it easier to read than earlier.

To get the new interface log into your Gmail account click on the gear icon on the top right corner and click on ‘Mail Settings’.

Now click on the ‘Themes’ tab and look for ‘Preview(Dense)’ or ‘Preview’.

Preview uses the same space between text lines that Gmail has been using up till now, while the Preview(Dense) Dense leaves more space between lines and makes it all cleaner. Click on any one of the theme and the theme is applied.

Here is a screenshot of the new Gmail’s look:

Google calling these two preview themes “a sort of sneak peek” because it plans to make this design a permanent part of Gmail’s new interface, which “will eventually expand dynamically to accommodate different screen sizes and user preferences, but until then you can pick the information density that you prefer.”

If you dont like the new interface, you can still stick to the theme you used previously.
