Minimalism rocks; I'm very much a fan of Mayer's design style. However, the one thing that I think could be improved for Google search results would be a simple bit of padding on the left border for the search results page; I firebugged the code for a mockup here: http://zentu.net/snaps/googleeasyontheeyes http://zentu.net/snaps/googleeasyontheeyes

P.S. I know this has little to nothing to do with the original article, but I've been wanting to point out this observation for awhile now. It's semi-related to the topic of design.
- Nogwater 18y agoStraying even farther from the article, you could easily give yourself that view of Google with the Stylish add-on for Firefox and a line of CSS.
- alabut 18y agoOh wow, Stylish rocks, way easier to use than Greasemonkey (for someone that knows CSS at least). Thanks for the tip, I just stripped out ads and the right column of the nytimes.
- alabut 18y agoTry making a Greasemonkey script to adjust it on your local setup instead and see how it actually works in practice, rather than just how it looks. I have a feeling that it's a bit too much padding and creates an empty gutter that looks like something's missing or gone wrong.
