    Wonderful. A _whole_ column is devoted to 3 entries: the "tabs" column. This is a waste of real estate and causes the useful columns to be scrunched up. Please put the "tabs" back at the top of the page.

    I despise the "canvas view". It destroys my orientation to information and iGoogle's usefulness. Please put tabs back at the top of the page.

    Seriously - give us the option for the other layout. Besides utterly wasting valuable left/right space (which is much more valuable than top-bottom space), what happened to the expanding stories in RSS feeds? I used to love that I could either click on the + sign and read what I wanted right in the window, or wait for the bubblehelp version of the same info. That was really useful and now it's gone! I mean, did you actually test this UI with real users? There's no way they preferred it over the old one. It's prettier, but it sure isn't more useful.

    I loved the last view, having an option for columns. Now, everything is too scrunched up and having the tab info in a column wastes space. Every browser has added tabs as an improvement, and Google takes them away? You say this was done for developers who design widgets? How about them designing them to work in the old format? I'd really like the option rather than losing tabs.

    I have to agree with everyone else. I really hate it. I love Google and I don't want to leave my start page here behind, but this is really a deal breaker for me. It's so clumsy and the design is unpleasant.

    I agree with the others. Move the tabs back. Take up too much screen space. Or, at least make it an options. Theme builders are getting grief about this change since most people don't know this was a system change. Also, please advise of these changes in advance.

    Agreed. The side column needs to be OPTIONAL. Please make this a top priority to put the tabs back on top. This has been an issue ever since the sandbox came out. Please get it done. My users are complaining to me about it too.

    We need to be able to switch back to old view. The forced expanded feeds all over the igoogle make it unreadable.

    This is the first time I have seen a Google product take a step backwards. This may be a good feature, but I have been using iGoogle since the beginning and found it the most useful single page on the internet, of which I am in constant use of. It was an ideal hub for me. I feel like it has been discontinued. This new set up makes the page useless to me. I am giving it a week perhaps two, for someone to step in and realize this was not released correctly. This is a feature, not my only choice. We all know how Google works and we all know this shouldn't be that difficult to allow me to restore the features I am used to with iGoogle as well as disabling this feature.

    Side Tabs
    I can see where some people might find this useful, but it really is not for how I have customized my page. I now missing 8% of screen space when fully expanded on my laptop. (1438 px across)

    I can suffer through that, but what makes the two features that makes this unworkable is the canvas view and the fact that I cannot minimize the view with one click.

    Minimizing View
    I work with the Internet so I am constantly on it, iGoogle is my homepage. Example would be, sometimes I don't want to see my emails, sometimes I do, sometimes I just want to peak to see if someone wrote me, most times I don't want to be it distracted by them. I frequently click it quickly when the page opens up and then go where I need to go. Silly habit i know, but it is what I am used to. Now I have to click, select 1 of several options, which is somewhere in the middle. Not worth the brief time that I am looking at the page. Why would someone remove this feature and tuck it in a menu is beyond me?

    Canvas View
    Might a good idea, but still has a lot of bugs to work through for websites to fully take an advantage of. Unfortunately, the Gmail gadget, which is at the center of my page, and I use it a lot.
    Now when I click on the link I no longer go to Gmail to use my email, it is embedded in my page. Fine use of an API, but not for gmail. There is a feature of gmail that is the most important feature someone writing an email, especially a long one. Auto save, which doesn't work in the canvas view. While typing a long reply, I hit something, I am not sure what, it all happened so fast and I have never been that confused. My email, was gone. Do saved draft, now way to use the back button. My message, lost. 15 minutes, and a really good reply bam. Normally I would with a long email I would ctrl-a ctrl-c for a clipboard backup. But this was Gmail, didn't need to do that, so I thought. So, is that what I do? Years, of using Gmail and getting used to it, I will abandon iGoogle before I change the way I work with email. Sorry Google.

    Little things is what makes Google great, but when you start breaking those little things, Google becomes just another Internet Pioneer.

    I don't like the igoogle home page or the way it presents the E-mail on that page. I don't like the E-mail preview panel on the new format. When I go to my E-mail I keep switching to the old full version; just wish I could do the same with the home page. I also noted that if you reply or compose and E-mail under the new system there appears to be no spell check, did I miss it?
    Let's get the old stuff back :-)

    My negative feedback:
    - rounded corners

    - longer loading time

    - still excruciatingly slow to arrange gadgets

    - inbox with no shortcut keys

    - canvas = larger gadgets, same amount of information

    This is what I noticed immediately.

    I have to agree with everyone else the forced tabs on the side waste alot of screen space.

    It's not that big a deal on my desktop, but I also use my igoogle page on my mobal device a nokia n810 and the forced side tabs are a huge space waster there.

    The canvas view is very irritating. As for Google it shows a lack of respect for their users. If it stays, I'll have to consider the alternatives. Plus I am thinking this is a sign that it is time to sell my Google stock. It does feel very Microsoft like.

    Same here, the tabs on top where MUCH better in terms of real estate. I see the benefit of being able to drill down to a particular gadget in a hierarchical view. But the main disadvantage is the loss of an entire screen colum.

    I agree with everyone else - the tabs is pointless and redundant. It is using screen space to tell me what is on my screen already. This was designed with a developer in mind, not a user. Surely this complaint has been so widespread and vocal it has made it up the chain of command; so please, just give us some hint as to whether or not we can at least opt out of it.

    Maybe Google is using this as some kind of early long and drawn out April Fool's prank. Or maybe they're trying to scare us in preparation for Halloween.

    Seriously, Google: Listen to your users! Nobody likes the new layout. Why can't we just have the old layout (space-saving horizontal tabs) with the silly "canvas view" feature you want to implement?

    I'll echo everyone else: At least give us the option to change it back!

Awful, awful rounded corners, and it looks cramped...I treasure my screen space, love little icons and thin borders. I'm actually considering changing my homepage - purely because this one is so badly designed.

    I complained to their suggestion box about this a month ago. This was their response:

    Thank you for your note. We're currently experimenting with several new iGoogle features, including a new view for gadgets like the Gmail gadget, and your iGoogle account has been randomly selected to experience them. If you'd like to share additional feedback about the new features, I encourage you to click the "Learn more" link near the top of the page, then click "take our survey" at the top of our Help Center article.

    I've yet to find anyone who wants this "feature".

    Temporarily at least, you can get the old version by appending &hl=all to the URL parameters, as in http://www.google.com/ig?&hl=all

    Only problem is, you also lose the custom title image for holidays.

    I like the integration of having a single Google Account, and don't want to have to create an account on a homepage service like netvibes just to load the weather and my Google content.

    If you use firefox, I wrote an addon which hides/unhides the left tabs.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10113
    It is currently in the sandbox (experimental area) of the site, but use it and leave a review. (Reviews help get it into the public space so that updates are automatic)
