I just can't get past the black bar. After years of it being white, black just feels imposing.

- hollerith 15y agoAlso, if you use large text, the text "Gmail Calendar Documents," etc, overruns the bottom of the black bar. I know there is a way to make a bar that does not have that problem because the orange bar on HN does not have that problem. Sometimes I like to browse without putting on my eyeglasses, by making the text large.
- kellishaver 15y agoThis is my main concern. The vast majority of the time, I'm browsing with text enlarged (without scaling up the rest of the site/images/css). I just hope it doesn't end up being a horrible case of DIVs overlapping, making things unreadable.
- hugh3 15y agoSpeaking of which... am I crazy or is there a new black bar at the top of HN too? (edit: removed second sentence after finding out actual reason)

- habitatforus 15y agoThanks for mentioning this. I thought it was a Google joke.

- barake 15y agoThat new "dense" GMail theme has the bar's opacity set to ~40% and is much less jarring. I think the black bar wouldn't be an issue if the rest of the pages weren't so low contrast now.
