Helvetimail - a minimalist Gmail skin
Monday, September 14, 2009
David Klein ported Josef Richter's Helvetimail Gmail stylesheet to Mailplane:
If you are looking for a minimalistic Gmail skin, here's are the links:
- Stylesheet download: http://www.josefrichter.com/helvetimail.css
- Helvetimail home page: http://www.josefrichter.com/helvetimail/
- David's home page: http://tehdik.com
Requirements: The stylesheet only works with the latest Mailplane 2.1-beta version.
Installation: Assign the downloaded file to the Mailplane > Preferences > Tweak UI > Custom Stylesheet setting.
Important: Gmail is changing all the time! If the stylesheet stops working, please check the Helvetimail or David's page for a new version.
Tip: As an alternative take a look at Gmail's built-in Themes. They are maintained by Google and will keep up with Gmail's changes.
Thanks David Klein for sharing!

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your comment. I assume you like to reduce the space between the messages when you are in overview mode, right?
If yes, please contact the original author for assistance: http://www.josefrichter.com/helvetimail/
Kind regards,
Ruben

Hi,
How did you manage to replace the ‘Google Mail’ logo with a ‘Helvetimail’ one.
I’m using the helvetimail.css file and my screen looks the same as yours except for the logo (and there’s thin lines between each mail title as Ruben mentioned too).
Regards,
David

How do you remove the lines between the messages - my Mailapp insists on having lines between them damnit… :-D
Any answer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for a really nice program!
