The Gmail team rolled out the "New Gmail look" this week but it has irritated some users who would prefer to continue using the old interface.

Gmail has enabled rolling back to the old interface, though temporarily, via the following steps:

  1. Sign in to your Gmail
  2. Click on the grey "gear" icon at the near top-right corner of the page (be careful, there are two gear icons, click on the images below to see which one you should click)
  3. Select “Revert to the old look temporarily”
  4. Fill out a short survey about why you want to go back to the old Gmail look
  5. Your Gmail inbox will go back to the old look

If you followed steps 1 - 5 above and you  still don't see the changes immediately, try to log out and then log back in. If still showing the new interface, then try the following alternative steps:

  1. Click at the "white" gear icon in black navigation bar at the very top-right corner of the page
  2. Select “Mail settings”
  3. In the page that opens, you will see a row of tabs, click on the one displaying “Themes” 
  4. Select a new theme,  “Your preferences have been saved” message will appear
  5. Finally, choose and click on your preferred theme again and click the "save changes" below that page
