So both Yahoo Mail! and Hotmail have come up with their AJAX based UIs. Its time I did a comparison.
Yahoo! Mail
Hotmail
Use of Colors, Icons, images
- Hotmail, has worked upon its old icons, making them with gradient backgrounds though.
- Yahoo has created bold new Icons, Their Icons are more intuitive. They are bigger, considering the higher resolutions (more than 1024 x 768). Hotmail’s icons’ main image still is small, with Text beside it to help
- Hotmail has already given multiple themes like Blue, Red, Black, Sliver, Yahoo still lacks it, or atleast I wasn’t able to find it.
