Moving Gmail chat to the rigth column
As you know, by default gmail chat box is on the left side, just below the main menu. I always felt like dragging it and putting on the other side. Because when you expand it, it pushes all your labels down making it difficult to access them. And if you keep gmail chat minimized then you won’t know who is online… so, it had this small usability issue.
But thanks to Right-side chat feature in Settings > Labs, now I can put it on the right column (see screenshot).
Recommended Solution
While Right-side chat solves the problem for one box, ideal solution would be draggable boxes. This way, users could arrange the boxes according to their preference.
Otherwise with the current solution we will have to wait for right-side calendar, right-side google docs..etc until they are developed.
Gmail’s new buttons
By the way, how do you like the new buttons in gmails?
For me, at first it was a bit confusing, since drop down menus are barely differentiable from buttons. But after using it a while it was ok.
