RE: google's new look

For those complaining the Images/Video/News/Maps are further away now:
- Enter your query first and press enter, the links are closer to the query/input field on the result pages (even close than it was before the update).
- Are those links really further away anyway? They are closer to your browser buttons and URL bar now, and isn't that from where you enter google most of the time? There is no need to click the query/input field or bring your mousecursor even close to it. Google already puts focus on that field be default, you can type right after loading.

? Most sites will look like crap on such a size, or will show useless whitespace. I almost never have a browser window set wider than around 1024px. All sites will show fine without horizontal scrollbars, and it leaves space on your screen to multitask

I don't mind it, find it handy that they've put it up there and it doesn't change the layout of the page.

- no comment, but still...
- I don't use my browser buttons. Google is my homepage. Browser is as good as full screen (1100px wide), when I open a new tab (hotkey) my mouse is always closer to the middle of the screen than in the top left corner. It isn't about typing so much, but more about the look (it looks very ugly) and the easyness to first press a category and than enter your search item.
- It should still look decent and not half-arsed

just making a monkey out of a fly here (free interpretation of that saying

)... as long as they don't change it on the belgium google.... or I'll personally drive to Brussels and slap the four people who work there for Google...

I don't think it looks that bad... I'm just happy Google Belgium didn't change yet.

Well, maybe someone works on a wide-screen resolution and someone maximizes his browser when he's browsing the web... 8-)

Btw, MenthiX: I was talking about the new "look" not the new features that came along with it :chrongue:

Yes, i know... i just never understood why you would want to do that.. Just like people maximizing their Messenger contact list on normal and even big resolutions. To me it doesn't really seem to add any value... except from big whitespaces / messed up layouts, or really wide lines that make you need to move your head a lot to read the text

.

Don't get me wrong, I do love big screens... But maximizing certain apps just doesn't make sense to me, I rather leave some space on the side for chats or other windows. But i'm just dodgy like that i guess

Kay, I do not dislike it, so my vote still counts

I don't mind it, actually I think it's nice and gives the user options to go diffrent places on the globe-of-Google a bit quicker.
