TBH, I didn’t enjoy it and prefer the old layout.
- As others said above, the layout is too packed. The screenshot above improves that.
- The border radius and gap between all items makes the list feels busier. It adds visual noise to the information:
- The background colors for the unread items don’t look as good in other color palettes. They all look grey-ish and lost the color accent.

-
Since we don’t have the border anymore separating the notifications from the icons, the misalignment between them and the items gives the impression that something is off, specially in the first icon.
-
The icons are too small, and in mobile mode the spacing is off. It makes it harder to click on the correct icon. I already accidentally clicked a notification instead of the icon, twice.
I disagree. It’s nice that we take advantage of the available viewport.
This would be nice.
