Has anyone else noticed these UI updates to bookmark menus in Google Chrome? I’m running 5.0.342.1, and the changes are a very recent addition.
AFAIK, as of a week ago Chrome used standard Mac system menus (or at least close approximations) for the bookmark toolbar menus. Now they seem to be using these bastardized, overly-stylized, next-to-useless excuses for menus.
How many problems exist here? We can begin with:
- fixed width, so most titles are cut off (very useful, I enjoy not being able to read my bookmarks)
- centered text (just makes the menu soooo easy to scan)
- no arrows next to folder items (sure, let’s break Mac UI standards just for the hell of it)
- non-obvious highlighting (awesomely subtle outline replaces standard system color)
What do we gain here? My authoritative list includes:
- hell if I know…
