Ask HN: Anyone else seeing Gmail's "Display density: Compact" not working?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5383558TL;DR: Gmail theme "Orcas Island" is borked. Any others?(Maybe I should have tried harder to squeeze "theme Orcas Island" into the title...)--Yes, this is using HN as "Google customer support", but what other option do I have?In Gmail's web client, I use the theme "Orcas Island" for a more pleasant experience. (Not only do I like the pictures; it also changes the background from white to a less bright gray-blue.)Today, in that theme, "Display density: Compact" is no longer working. Whitespace galore.I noticed some other Gmail changes, e.g. the prompt to confirm mobile phone number (for security notifications). So, maybe the same push broke this aspect of theming?So far, I've only noticed this affecting the theme "Orcas Island". (But, I'm not going to check them all...)Googling has revealed nothing on this.Mar 15, 2013 11:09 PM

Ask HN: What makes the perfect office? I'm building one.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4739458I run a web development agency with 18 people. The building we're looking at moving to will need extensive refurbishment, so we have a chance to spec out our office 'wish list' and then build that!So: If you could completely design your office space (aesthetics, layout, furniture, lighting, flooring), how would you want it to be?(We're a Rails agency, working in scrum teams of 2 or 4, doing some pairing but not full-time, based in London).Nov 4, 2012 10:58 AM

Has minimalism gone too far?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4721593I am a minimalist at heart, but practicality & utility override any and all desire for a minimal UI.To a degree minimalism increases usability, cuts down on distractions with other links to other articles,media,etc and lets the user focus on the article or whatever work they're doing if its a desktop app.To be quite frank I'm sick of websites with three miles of whitespace on both sides of an 80 character wide column article text and no navbar or links to get to the website's homepage.examples (from HN's top articles about 30 mins ago) http://mkronline.com/2012/10/30/you-arent-imagining-it-the-web-is-a-mess/ http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/googles-most-advanced-voice-search-has.html http://joel.is/ I'll admit, to a degree, some of it is bad coding/design using fixed sizes in pixels instead of relative sizes for things (em) so the page renders the same independent of screen resolution.The same sort of thing is going on with desktop applications, menus and options are getting gankOct 31, 2012 7:17 AM
