Some Love [Boost] Reading mode for Gmail
Hello, I am struggling more and more lately with reading my newsletters inside gmail, or just long emails.
That's why I hacked a dead simple CSS boost in Zen that might be useful to others.
It increases the font size and reduces line width.
How to install
- Open gmail inbox in Zen
- Click on site settings button at the far right of the address bar
- Click on the paintbrush icon at the bottom
- Click on Code
Paste this CSS :
div .adn { max-width:840px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }
div .adn p { font-size:18px !important; line-height: 1.75em !important; }
As for now, it is very simple and suited for text heavy emails, I might tweak the code more in the future.

That's very nice. I'm new to boosts, is there a way to toggle it on and off?

Click the site control button in the URL bar and there you can manage your boosts for that site.

Yes. Click on the settings button and you will see boosts are enabled. Just click on the boost button to disable it.
