Gmail gets a full screen compose view

Google has just given in to the substantial number of Gmail users who’ve been pissed off at them ever since they went and changed how users go about composing emails, and I can already hear the “THANK GOD”s and “FREAKING FINALLY”s beginning to pour in. “After Gmail’s new compose rolled out to everyone in March, many of you sent us requests for features you’d like to see added. We listened carefully to your feedback and as as result, the new compose now offers a full-screen option,” says Google. Yep, Gmail’s new compose box now has a full-screen option.  But wait – it gets better. Google is also giving you the option to set full-screen compose as your default. Just check the “default to full screen” option in your “more options” menu. Google began testing the new compose box, which appears in the bottom right-hand corner of your window, way back in October of 2012. When they finally rolled it out to all users in March – well, let’s just say that some user were a little less than pleased. If you don’t yet see the full-screen option, be patient. Google says that it’ll be rolling out to all users over the next couple of days. Google redesigned its popular email client in March with few new additions and tweaks. One of the notable changes was the new compose, which was available in your inbox as a pop-up window. Now, Google has started to roll out a new full-screen compose window, which fills your entire display. The compose window can be switched to full-screen by clicking on the expand button in the top right or you can also set full-screen as your default by selecting default full-screen option in the more menu that can found in the bottom right.
