So I've tried new Gmail design. I couldn't believe it was that ugly and unpleasant to use.

How to roll back to previous normal Gmail design?

    Yes, we no longer have the ability to switch back to classic gmail.

Update: Users report that the rollback option disappears. See my note ↓


From the settings button on the top right of your inbox - the first option is Go back to classic Gmail.

enter image description here

Note: I believe some day it will be permanent and you won't be able to use the old design anymore. The same as happened with the new calendar.
So keep that in mind.

    @beta Yes, my father has seen it disappear from his options, though it still exists for me. He is not happy.

You can't anymore, you're stuck with the new Gmail look.

At least until Google's Gmail team decides to change it again in the future, but for now they've removed the "Go back to classic Gmail" option
