Then to give the Google property navigation back they put it in a dropdown on the Google+ logo on the left.<br />A quick look at Gmail, Reader, and Calender shows they could easily take the same space saving approach on those as well.<br />I didn't look at any others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-82183077175806057012011-10-31T18:51:27.801-07:002011-10-31T18:51:27.801-07:00I Loove the new display, but would also like to cu...I Loove the new display, but would also like to customise it and to have gmail reader and calendar integrated in the notification not just G+.. but I guess its coming .. they have to..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459977230223461414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61217335174621467892011-10-31T13:17:08.610-07:002011-10-31T13:17:08.610-07:00Thank goodness for Firefox, Greasemonkey scripts a...Thank goodness for Firefox, Greasemonkey scripts and Stylish, etc. At some point ergonomics and familiarity trump aesthetics, which I might add, remain in the eye of the beholder. <br /><br />The recent onslaught of changes Google has introduced, services mothballed and what-have-you lead me believe Google has gone quite mad.Amitai Givertzhttp://amitaigivertz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-58950363915221252032011-10-31T10:19:42.122-07:002011-10-31T10:19:42.122-07:00I was actually hoping they'd go further with t...I was actually hoping they'd go further with the current black bar concept, rather than changing to a dropdown.<br /><br />I love the black bar, but I'd like it to be more customisable. I want it to rearrange itself with features that we use the most, and to have notifications for each service that we use, so that it's easy to see that there are 3 Reader posts and 2 emails waiting for you.<br /><br />I'd also like an official Google Chrome extension that allows you to access the bar nomatter where you are on the web. <br /><br />Dropdowns just make it more awkward, hiding potential notifications.<br /><br />I don't understand some Google design changes. On desktop sites, where we actually have a lot of screen real estate, they are considering hiding all the other services so that you need to click to show them. <br /><br />On the other hand, in the Ice Cream Sandwich build of Android, they're trying their best to keep menus and shortcuts on screen at all times in apps like Gmail, using up valuable screen space with their action bar - as if people are too stupid to know to hit a menu button to show a menu.<br /><br />Sorry - don't understandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141182943244661424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61486359963493629012011-10-31T09:36:43.691-07:002011-10-31T09:36:43.691-07:00Tom's idea of customization is great.
