The preference list starts by immediately breaking out options for Chat and Meet with the ability to quickly disable those tabs.  Meanwhile, colorful icons are used throughout to make everything stand out more.<\/p>\n<p>You then get high-level controls for \u201cNotifications,\u201d while \u201cInbox\u201d and \u201cCompose and Reply\u201d are very straightforward.
