Over the weekend, Google began testing yet another user interface. This one has a new top bar, using a black background instead of a white or light gray color.

There are some complaints from daily Google users that the black bar looks wrong. Even worse, those that customize their Google home page find the new black bar to completely ruin their custom Google home page.

Google often tests new interfaces, positions and colors throughout the year.
