Yes, I hate the new gmail.
Thank you.

There's a lot about the functionality that I like, but the invisible scroll bar was driving me batty.
Now if only I could find an extension to pin open the folder/label list...

I hate the scroll bar, too.
But isn't the new gmail just gonna be mandatory in a while? I may be techily wrong, o' course...

Yeah, that's why I don't switch back to the old one. I'm going to have to get used to the new interface eventually, no sense in delaying the inevitable!

I use the Dusk theme in new Gmail, and my scroll bar is visible. Maybe it's just invisible with the standard theme?

The problem is no matter what theme you use, the scroll bar is always the same semi-transparent off-white. So on some themes it's fine and on others it's totally invisible.

Who is on the Google appearance team, seriously? Their redesign has been such a pain in the ass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gris, talk to me about the uses you've put Tasker to. I'm trying to work out if it's worth it. The particular wall I'm slamming my head against will go away when I lose the rental with the bluetooth phone attachment anyway, so even if Tasker solves it specifically, there's no reason to think it solves it generally (working out when I'm outside WiFi reach, so it switches on the phone's hotspot--I'm currently cheating by assuming "connected to car's bluetooth"="disconnected from WiFi" which isn't strictly true, but good enough).

Hey. New board.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to to. I'm using Tasker for fairly simple things at the moment:
- When I'm at work (detected by Net location), my ringer, wifi, and GPS are off. (my work has bad WiFi that seems to interfere with Google Voice notifications)
- When I'm at home (again, Net location) between 8:30 am and 8:59 pm, my ringer is on and my volume is all the way up, and GPS turns off. Wifi turns on.
- Weekday nights, my ringer and GPS are off from 9:00 pm until 6:30 a.m.
- Weekend nights, my ringer and GPS are off from 9:00 pm until 8:30 a.m.
- If National Certified Alarms calls me, the phone rings no matter what.
- If I text "tasker announce" to my phone, it turns the media volume all the way up and plays "American Idiot" until I click a notification.
- If I text "tasker location" to my phone, it silently turns on GPS and Wifi, fixes its location as well as possible using GPS and network, and e-mails me the location, how accurate the fix is, and how old the fix is.
- When I start Maps or Navigation, it turns GPS and Wifi on.
If you're trying to make something that happens when you're no longer connected to Wifi, that's doable. "Connected to a particular WLAN" is a state in Tasker, and Tasker allows you to change settings when you exit a state as well as when you enter it. So you could add "turn on hotspot" as an exit task on your "connected to Wifi" profile.
