That's the worse part of their design so far. The gray text is hard to read and the black bar is distracting on a otherwise light page.

- dmix 15y ago> gray text is hard to read and the black bar That's a conscious design choice. In the visual hierarchy on the page, the links at the top are secondary to the main content. So it's better to have them faded out so your eyes aren't drawn to them.
- jesboat 15y agoFading out the links is all well and good, but that only works when the bar itself doesn't draw your eyes to it. On my browser (uncostomized Google Chrome), it is by far the most distinctive element on my screen.
- dmix 15y agoI find Facebook's blue header far more distracting than Google's dark grey one. But noone really complains about that. Maybe because they are used to it.
