Ok, I'll bite.<br>
<br>
I don't have strong feelings about most of it specifically, but here
goes.<br>
<br>
First, I don't like the 'picture' icons, so would remove them right
away.<br>
<br>
Second, Vertical View is nothing new, and still needs multi-line
support in the thread pane (which is apparently hard or impossible
to do in HTML, although a promising (but buggy) Addon was created
fairly quickly, but then went nowhere).<br>
<br>
I see some potential in the Today Pane changes, but would add (##)
designators next to each 'upcoming' section (Today, Tomorrow,
Upcoming...) showing how many items there are for each (similar to
how you see message counts in the Folder pane).<br>
<br>
So, it appears to be mainly just minor skinning and integrating the
'Conversations' Addon (which I don't like), with the exception of
the Calendar/Lightning (Today Pane) changes.<br>
<br>
If that is so, I'll repeat what I said earlier.<br>
<br>
Why not just focus on making it easier to create Themes? If there
are underlying technical reasons that anything in this mockup cannot
be done by a theme today, then identify those kinds of blockers, and
work on them.<br>
<br>
This way, everyone can potentially scratch their own personal itch
and customize the UI exactly the way they like.<br>
<br>
Some of these comments seem to suggest that it is possible to come
up with a single set of UI changes that will please everyone.<br>
<br>
I'm here to tell you that this is simply impossible.<br>
<br>
So with this in mind, again, the only thing that makes sense to me
is to simply make changes to the underlying code that make it easier
for Theme creators to do their thing.<br>
<br>
Also, I don't know if this is even currently possible in Lightning.
Is Lightning 'themable'?<br>
