Interested to hear what people think about this, and if it's widely preferred to the default. A benefit of the default order is that it's easy to tell the difference between a Gmail and an Apps account, but it comes with the tradeoffs Fedor mentions...
- Keith Coleman
The Gmail/Apps tradeoff would go away if Apps admins could change the favicon (via <link rel="icon"...>?) -- and then this would be perfect.
- Tudor Bosman
What Tudor said - I really like having the read count there, and a favicon would also make my bookmarks toolbar easier to use.
- Bret Taylor
I like this in principle, but in truth as an infinite inbox user my title would read, at this instant, "Inbox (7780)" which doesn't mean much. I totally want custom favicons. Didn't we used to offer that?
- Kevin Fox
Looking at the page source, it seems that this may actually be on the way: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.google.com/a..." type="image/x-icon"> -- the favicon URL is already per-domain. Yay!
- Tudor Bosman
I much prefer this order to the default
- Howard Trickey
Great idea.
- James Hull
1. I want a count of the # of unread messages that are above the first read message. 2. My tabs are too small, I want the number before "Inbox".
