Old (top) vs. new default Gmail theme.  I think these new interface colors are a big step backwards.  Far too much contrast between the blue border and the light colored email, in my opinion.  Just goes to show that small touches can make big differences.

Note: the top account is our Google Apps business account, hence the alternate logo.


*UPDATE* - They must have read my blog, because 30 seconds after posting this, I refreshed and the mega-blue bar on top was gone in the default theme.  :)

Also, I know you can change the theme, which I will.  I just feel that the default should be the most simple and user-friendly.
