new? what the menu bar and thats it?
.::PHPfanatic::.
That's about it. It also has a different gradient bar. It seems to load a tad quicker for me and that's all I care about. It's a tiny bit more minimalistic; it's not much but something.

I was expecting more as well but oh well.
Deftone
if they added a whole lot more it would simply make the site load slower and so it would fail at its purpose.

More as in the way of minimalism. smile.gif Kind of a paradox haha.

i fear that ur just waiting constantly after i type with ur browser on the same topic, one hand poised on the F5 button to refresh and the other ready to click "Add Reply" as soon as you see my answers smile.gif

but yeah, thats a way to put it, simple is good.

I went on it yesterday on one of my rare Neowin trips, i tried it again later but i couldn't get it too work, its know real difference, but by using more plain text i expect it will load even quicker.

Have you implemented the new cookie? It doesn't sound like you have. Go to http://www.squarefree.com/archives/000369.html , right click "toggle google look" and add it to your bookmarks. Go to Google and open the bookmarked page.

How do you reverse it... I'm not quite sure. I'll have to read the Neowin thread maybe.

QUOTE
It works by changing the ID in your Google cookie to 102c51875a8839e9, the ID of one of the visitors Google randomly selected to test the new look. If your ID is already 102c51875a8839e9, it sets it 0000000000000000 (anonymous), letting you switch between the old and new looks quickly. Since the bookmarklet only changes the ID part of the cookie, it preserves your settings, such as the number of results per page.

Yeh, i did it all right, i had it coming up and everything but now it just doesn't and btw its not because i have deleted my cookies. (which i have not)
