GMail sports new loading screen
Howdy! It appears that you have come to this blog for the first time. In order to receive more useful posts like this, you can subscribe to RSS feed or receive latest articles to your email inbox. Thanks for visiting this blog, and have a good day.
GMail has previously had a plain-text loading screen which usually says “Loading” (and an option to use basic mode if you’re on a slow connection).
Google has silently rolled out an upgrade to the loading screen, which now sports a horizontal progress indicator, along with an option to switch to basic mode (which was earlier limited to when it took a long time to load).
The screen is as plain as ever, in typical Google fashion, with no background or fancy stuff - just a progress bar and some text. Check out the screenshot below to see what I mean.
GMail’s new loading screen - minimalist and plain as ever

Actually, basic mode was always toggable. It was located at the wayy bottom of the page (it’s still there).

@Frank: When I said that basic mode was not toggle-able, I referred to it on the loading screen.
