OT: Was it always like this that the top 170px are just fixed on groups.google.com and thus are somehow wasted from the horizontal space? http://www.az2000.de/

  It's a new GWT based design

  At my (admittedly meager) 1024x768, between browser and now the google groups redesign, ui area takes up almost half of the upper space before any content is shown.

  OMG. That is a horrible UI. It makes Groups totally unusable. Half of my laptop vertical screen is the unscrollable fixed panel with a few big buttons and the search bar. Then 1/4 of the horizontal screen is fixed with the left navigation links. The actual content are crammed on the lower right half of the screen. The bottom arrow of the scrollbar is missing. Please Google, not everyone has 24-inch vertical monitor. It used to be that Microsoft's website took up lots of fixed upper screen real estate for "branding." Now they have fixed it and is much more usable. Have the Microsoft designers gone to work for Google now?
