Like Gmail's new icon-only interface? I hope not! It's difficult enough for people to figure out what Gmail's icons represent.

You can set Gmail's Button labels to "Text" under Settings -> General.

I'm still pissed that Gmail's icon redesign wastes tons of space and is only marginally better when I put it in compact mode. I'm on a 14" laptop here, not all of us are carrying around 22" monitors in our pockets!

Well, the differences between them are quiet significant! Gmail's icon are too horsey.
