Starting this month, users who have been holding out on the new Gmail design introduced earlier this year will be forced to switch.
The latest design was first introduced as an opt-in update in February and then became opt-out this summer. Now it's just Gmail, full stop.
The design didn't change too much about how Gmail works; it mostly just changed the color scheme-gone is the Gmail-brand red styling in favor of a more neutral and blue-ish-by-default look in line with the company's "Material You" design principles. You can tweak the coloring yourself anyway.
