Google made a number of changes to Gmail, which included a modification to the toolbar above conversations, where the text was replaced with icons.

Lots of people will be quite happy to know that Google has included a tiny feature in Gmail's settings, which allows you to switch back to the toolbar with text instead of icons. Users can either select the icon-based toolbar or switch back to text. So, all those who want to go back to the old style, simply change the options from the Settings and enjoy browsing Gmail.

Bookmarks Suggester: Search Bookmarks Using Keyboard Shortcut [Chrome]

by on
Leave a comment
One of the great things about Chrome is its minimal design. It altogether does away with a separate search and URL bar and compounds them in to one even though other browsers still have the option to separate them. While Chrome’s Omnibar amasses both the address and search bar, it doesn’t let you search your bookmarks and for that you have to open the bookmarks manager. Bookmarks Suggester is an extension for Chrome that adds a search bar to any webpage when the Ctrl+L shortcut is used. This simple search bar then allows you to quickly search through all your bookmarks. The shortcut moves the focus to a new text field that suggests all matching bookmarks when you type in a query. You can then navigate through these results by moving up or down the list. Hitting Enter will open selected bookmarks in the current tab, while hitting the “+” button will open the selected search result in a new tab. In case there are no matching results for the term in your bookmarks, you will be redirected to Google. Read More

Just a couple of hours ago, Google announced Google Play Store – the rebranded version of your beloved (now previously) Android Market. More than anything else, the move can be cited as an attempt to provide Android users with a unified platform to explore all the apps, games, books, movies and music featured by Google under one roof. The new-look interface of the web variant of the new Google app store looks pretty impressive. However, from the mobile client’s perspective, nothing much has changed apart from the icon and, of course, the name of the app: Google Play (that has already created quite a hullabaloo among Android users and critics alike). Although Google has already started rolling out Google Play Store to Android devices (running Froyo and higher) over-the-air, there are quite a few users who might not have received the update yet. If you’re among such users, you don’t have to wait any longer as we bring you the APK of the brand new Android Market aka Google Play Store. Read More
