New Delhi: Ever since the launch of its Google+ social networking service Google has embarked upon a redesign effort that stretches across almost all of its services.
The latest Google tool to undergo a makeover is the ubiquitous Google bar. The new Google bar, according to a post on the official Google blog, "will enable you to navigate quickly between our services, as well as share the right stuff with the right people easily on Google+."
Google is doing away with the existing horizontal black bar with links to different Google services, that it had introduced not very long ago, with a grey bar featuring a drop-down Google menu nested under the Google logo.
The new grey bar has three main regions. On the left, the Google logo contains a drop-down menu with links to Google services that displays when a user hovers over or clicks on it. The central area contains a search box for the Google service the user is currently using. The right side features a share box and notifications to participate on Google+ from any Google page.
Even when a user is not signed in to his/her Google account, the user can still navigate to Google's services through the drop-down menu displayed under the Google logo.
