<a href="/issue/13">Buttons are not obvious; non-standard icons</a> 3 - MAJOR (should be high priority) Confirmed

<p>The new GMail interface includes icons in action buttons instead of old text labels; not a good decision from a usability point of view.</p>

<div class="item-list"><ul><li><a href="https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/d2216dbba885d18697f93e396ce4d82e/gmail-icons-guess.jpg">https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/d2216dbba885d18697f93e396ce4d82e/gmail-icons-guess.jpg</a></li><li><a href="https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/1008c9832d05c15d5f39f8ca21fb7c2c/gmail-icons-real.jpg">https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/1008c9832d05c15d5f39f8ca21fb7c2c/gmail-icons-real.jpg</a></li></ul></div>

<p>Include text labels in buttons.</p>

<a href="/issue/1389">Buttons while composing a new message</a> 2 - Minor (lower priority) Confirmed

<div class="item-list"><ul><li>'Compose new message' screen (v. 2011)</li></ul></div>

<p>While writing a new email, the button 'COMPOSE' is the most visible and seems the most important call-to-action (which should be 'Send').</p>

<div class="item-list"><ul><li><a href="https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/b9110f038e2b4669a1fface952830bca/gmail-compose-button.png">https://uxmanager.net/sites/default/files/b9110f038e2b4669a1fface952830bca/gmail-compose-button.png</a></li></ul></div>

<p>Give the 'Send' button a more-visible formatting.</p>

<p>Some users don't understand what that option means.</p>

<a href="/issue/1423">Some localized URLs don't work</a> 2 - Minor (lower priority) Confirmed

<p>Localized URLs (for ex.: <a href="http://www.gmail.es">www.gmail.es</a>) don't redirect to GMail.</p>

<p>Register localized domains and redirect them to the appropriate URL.</p>
