Recently Google have been rolling out its new update to its already massive service, Google Search. Google have gone adrift from its renowned simplicity, to allowing users to change the background of their Google homepage.
Currently this feature has only been distributed across several countries, not including the UK. However, you can experience this change by visiting Google.com.
You’re able to change the background by clicking the “Change Background” link in the lower left of the window. You’ll then be displayed a modal window which allows you to select various options:
- From my computer
- My Picassa Web Photos
- Public Gallery
- Editor’s picks
Any observant person would notice that Microsoft Bing have had backgrounds since day one. I’m not 100% sure if you’re able to set a custom background, but they’re there nonetheless.
Why has it taken so long for Google to add this amount of customization to it’s millions per day web page?
I personally like this change, I can go back to having no background, and they’re saved to your account so you can have the same feel every time to login!
What are your views and opinions on this almighty change?
