I came across a post the other day about a new Google Interface in development and tried it out for myself. I have to say, it’s not bad. If you look at the screenshots below, you’ll see that the home page is using a bit brighter colors, as well as some subtle gradients, and the colorizing of the input buttons instead of the standard gray. The differences on the search results page are obvious. Again, the colors and gradients, as well as a strong font in the search box and additional search options on the left side of your results. The screenshots below have the old interface on the left and the new interface on the right.

In order to achieve this look in your browser, first go to google.com. If you have an iGoogle home page, make sure you click ‘Classic Home’ in the upper right if you want to see the home page differences. Second, copy and paste the entire code below into your browser’s address bar:
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb
:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");

If you want to set it back to the default, you will need to delete the current cookies for google.com from your browser. What are your thoughts on this interface? Share them below.
