In Gmail you can link to a specific thread, from that thread you can open it in a new window. I'd like to link straight to that window. I enjoy the minimal look and I get distracted if I see my inbox has unread messages.
When I copy the URL for the thread window and paste it into a new tab it doesn't load. What URL do I need to use to link straight to the thread window?

If the link does not work, that probably means Google doesn't want you to visit that page without coming from the Gmail homepage.
That being the case, I fear you won't find a way around.
If you like the minimal look, this Chrome Extension maybe can help you: Minimalist for Everything (fusion of former "Minimalist for Gmail" and others).
