Gmail zed Extension

This is a skin for Gmail, inspired by the new Outlook.com and the Minimalist extension.

Notes:

1. This style is meant to be used with Helvetica Neue installed on your system. If you don't have it, it will use Helvetica or Arial, but won't look as good, IMHO.
2. You should set your Gmail theme to \"Soft Gray\" under Settings > Themes in Gmail.
3. It's designed for \"Compact\" View, and is NOT ready for Split Pane.
4. Stars and Checkboxes are hidden unless active or hovered.

In the future I will add some Settings so you can tailor it to suit you.

This is my first theme. Enjoy.

Rob Hunt (ID: 000000bd9623534d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/20/2017 I like the message panes a lot but there's weird sharpening applied that makes the inbox tree panel look weird, especially when bolded. Removed for this reason.
