Google is regarded as one of the UGLIEST interfaces until these redesigns. The is clean, uncluttered, easier to read BECAUSE of the extra whitespace. I do admit that the color choices are too pastel and need to be bolder, but it is an improvement to the amateurish look before. <br /><br />That having been said...the look isn't the real issue that Google should be concerned with, features that actually work and improving function should be the priority, and it clearly isn't. Google tasks is the biggest joke, not enough integration between products and between PC vs the Android apps, etc. Google, if you want to be taken seriously, work on function....form always follows.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210226542845132453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-90700484342735320182011-11-01T21:23:24.822-07:002011-11-01T21:23:24.822-07:00Hate it for same reason seemingly most mentioned, ...Hate it for same reason seemingly most mentioned, that you can only see one "event" per day on the month view.
