| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 |  Posted - May 3 2014 : 2:34AMFor some reason Google's layout has reverted back to the old crappy look from 2013. I cleaned cookies/cache and restarted PC but that didn't help. Any idea why this would happen and how I can go back to the current layout? Is anyone else having this issue? It happened yesterday (May 2) and my browser is SRWare Iron, which is a light version of Chrome. My current layout looks like this, with the black bar across the top of page: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2012/01/googles-black-navigation-bar-is-back.html Here is the layout I want to go back to: http://i2.wp.com/www.techfleece.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/New-Google-Home-Page.jpg I hate this layout, especially since Google Images come in all crappy now where the gifs and jpegs are tiny. Any help/advice is appreciated. Edited by - Cloudburst on May 3 2014 [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - May 10 2014 : 11:25PM Is it https://www.google.com/?noj=1 or maybe https://www.google.com/?noj=0 Some quick googling finds that the ?noj=1 is how to change to the black bar (which some people prefer) But you want the white bar. I experimented and if you change the ending to ?noj=2 you will get the white bar For my computer just using www.google.com gets me the white bar. Anyway I suggest you experiment until you get it how you want, then set that as your homepage or however you have your default search setup. [Link] |
| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 | Posted - May 11 2014 : 12:21AM This is so frustrating, from October 2013 (when I believe Google removed the black bar look) until last week I had no black bar. Now all of a sudden it's back (w/o me changing any settings) and I can't make it go away, why does this even happen? My friends and parents use Chrome also and they don't have the black bar, but I have it and I can't even fucking change it back. [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - May 11 2014 : 1:28AM Maybe you can ask for help at the SRWare Iron forum. the only other thing I found was this Chrome extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/naffohgpjobghliccmgjgagdpknmgeba [Link] |
| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 | Posted - May 11 2014 : 7:49PM The thing is I don't want to just remove the black bar at the top of the page, I want to go back to the Google layout that has different features. Here is the layout I'm trying to get back to: http://i2.wp.com/www.techfleece.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/New-Google-Home-Page.jpg (notice that the black bar is gone but also at the top right there are different features) [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - May 15 2014 : 1:07AM SRWare Iron is based on Chrome but is not exactly Chrome. The discrepancies between Chrome and SRWare Iron may relate to the issue with the black bar. Also, you said your friends/parents are using Chrome and are getting the desired version of GoogleSearch. If exactly Chrome works (and if you must use Iron), then try tinkering with the User-Agent in Iron, so that Iron appears (to your visited websites) as whatever Chrome Version is necessary to make GoogleSearch behave properly.

| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 | Posted - May 15 2014 : 6:21PM P.S. thanks to Nietzsche and Robert for the recommendations, will look into those forums if I still can't get the problem solved. Edited by - Cloudburst on 5/15/2014 6:22:46 PM [Link] |
