you know how when you set an image as your bg in gmail but like. you can't see it because there's a massive block of ???SOME COLOUR?? don't @ me for colour choices btw i was testing. anyway... transparent now: .nH { background-color: rgba(189, 189, 189, 0); } font colour of your emails: .zE { color: #fff; } to be spicy, hover those: .zE:hover { color: #fff; background-color: #84000085; } change the colours of read emails so you don't read them again: .yO { background-color: #ff0000f5; color: #378a37; overflow: hidden; } .yO:hover { background-color: #db000036; color: #f00; overflow: hidden; } i forgot one, when you edit the inbox transparency it WILL ruin the look of the emails when you click on them, sooooo: .hx { background-color: #ffffffa8; } ^ just change that colour/opacity to whatever you want
