If Google switched to anything like that, I'd be tempted to GreaseMonkey it back to how it was. It looks a bit like Bing. Just to start: Not every result has the domain showing (unless you mouseover) which makes it hard to filter the crud at first sight and results are spread too far apart. When you do mouseover, the URL is in a realllly bright, hard to read green. I thought fades, pastel colors, and stupid mouseover effects went out in 2008.<p>I take back what I said about Google not having enough creatives on the other Google story today. At least the engineers have made something that's usable..
