( Mashable ) -- The new-look Gmail that Google accidentally told us about last week is now rolling out to all users . The changes , officially announced in a blog post Tuesday , allow Gmail users much more control over the look of the service . You can drag sidebars around to your preferred size and width , choose from a wider selection of high-resolution background pictures , and decide whether you want lots of email on your screen or more white space between mails . ( Your choice of email density is between `` Comfortable , '' `` Cozy '' and `` Compact . '' ) Heavy Gmail users will also be pleased to learn that there 's a new search function -- that is , you can now access Advanced Search by clicking on the search bar . Conversations have been condensed , and profile pictures added . These are more features than Google offered in its sneak peek of the new Gmail , which started in July . For now , at least , the new features will be opt-in -- and not all of us will be able to access them immediately . `` If you like what you see , over the next few days you 'll be able to switch to the new look by clicking on Switch to the new look in the bottom-right of Gmail , '' writes Google user experience designer Jason Cornwell .
