The Google Fade — Stop Complaining
Google Fade
I don’t understand people sometimes.
Google recently unveiled a new minor design change to its famously conservative and minimalist homepage. In fact, it is so minor, many people fail to catch it the first time. Go to www.google.com to see what I’m talking about.
Did you blink? The logo and search bar appear on the page load, but the menus and links fade in once the mouse moves.
Okay, fine. Kinda gimmicky, but I applaud any excuse to flex some HTML5 (check out the source!). But god all mighty are some people pissed.
The forums over at the Google Web Search Forum are crawling with pitch-fork armies.
Like this monster. With over 600 replies, this thread is full of “annoyed” peeps, most of whom are demanding an option to disable the fade. And then there’s this poor fellow, who reformatted his computer TWICE, thinking he had a virus.
