Change in Homepage?

The look and feel of the Google homepage has been changed since yesterday. Did you notice the elongated search box and the keywords that we enter are in bigger font size?

When I first saw the page, it appeared as though it had a UI defect. I was under the impression that some developer had missed to apply style sheet and deployed it into production server when he was half asleep.

Later I realized that it was a ‘CHANGE’.

I don’t like it. :(

Smilie,
Even myself had a same feeling since yesterday.The font size was changed and it doesn't look nice.Then i consoled myself as it will take some time to accomodate ourselves to such new things.


cheers,
