Google.com black menu bar
June 30, 2011 | Posted by: admin | News | 5 Comments
See Google.com. you’ll notice a new black bar that spans the top of the page. The menu bar isn’t new, but the change in color may be drawing you to the Google menu bar for the first time.
Why is the Google menu Bar Black?
Google has just launched Google+, a new social project for many users, which will be using an enhanced black toolbar when it rolls out to all users. It seems that Google has updated the toolbar to black on all Google sites, except Gmail, to prepare users for the new look.
When you get access to Google+ the new toolbar will allow you to access new tools including your circle of friends, video hangouts, your Instant Uploads from your Android camera and the social network style Google+ page which will allow you to connect and share with your different groups of friends.

More than Google+
In addition to preparing the masses for Google+, the new color fo the Google toolbar is meant to call attention to the many services Google offers in addition to search and email. Most notably, the color change will draw users’ attention to services like Google Docs, Google Reader News, Shopping and more. Surprisingly, there are a large number of users that don’t know about these handy free apps and services.
Ultimately, the switch to the new Google+ look has the chance to attract the attention of many users to Google’s other services. The more users are attracted to this service, the more likely Google will be to deliver additional features and enhancements to these great tools.
Can you Change the Color of the Google menu bar?
For now, you can’t change the color of the Google Bar or Google+ bar. We’re guessing that most users won’t care what color this bar is, but we certainly understand the desire to change the color so that the Google bar is the same color throughout the Google experience.

I am finding the blck bar a problem as its difficult to read the text whcih I had no problem with before.
Why not have the option to change the colour for users with poor sight?
Is this another draconian google way to hate their customers like the everything menu nobody can turn off?
I use firefox to get rid of that rubbish.
Come on google, stop being shitty to your users!
I made a plugin that lets you change the color to any one that you want!

Thanks!
Very well written and informatinve article…I have been searching for this info past two hours…thanks.
Pretty sure this wont work regardless of whether the robot is capable of moving the mechanism fast enough or having enough strength to open the door mechanism. These sorts of locks are designed to wear out under a brute force attack. The lock itself will fail permanently before they get the combo of course they may just luck it in the first couple of thousand, but probably not.
