Before

After

Google started the rollout of this new design for G Suite subscribers on the Rapid Release schedule today and everybody who is on that should get it within the next 15 days. Users whose admins are a bit more timid and are sticking to the Scheduled Release schedule, will see the new design upcoming February 11.  There are no updates for the free edition of Gmail. But it would be expected in next month too.

Google has been rolling out updated designs for its web and mobile apps over the last few months. Google Calendar was the latest apps to get this update, and with the addition of the G Suite productivity apps, Google has now mostly completed this project.
