There was a recent update to Gmail, you might have noticed it. Some new buttons now replace text links. Here is a summary of the obvious ones I noticed today.

I noticed 2 different updates this morning, they are subtle, but worth noting. Here they are:

1. The ‘Compose mail’ link is now a button.
2. The selection links (to select read, unread, all, none, etc) is now a drop-down choice box with select all as the default.

Here is a screenshot with the obvious changes.
