If you have a customized Google home page, you can now add some color to it. They only have a handful of themes available at the moment, but they are a good start. The colors are interesting, and the pictures in the top banner will change depending on what time of day it is.
And there is also an update of GoogleDesktop with new sidebar features. I used the sidebar a lot when I first installed Desktop. Nowadays I usually just have it running in the taskbar. I depend on it primarily for its archive and I love being able to do the quick double-click on the Control key to open a mini-Google search box. Great feature! Except that lately, the Control key is starting to stick from frequent use.
I wish they would address the archive issue. After I run a defrag of the my drive, there is a large chuck of Google data that can't be defragmented. Google hasn't addressed this yet (as far as I know) in the Desktop Google Group. Some users have suggested having Desktop re-index the drive, but I don't know if this will retain or erase older data. But then again, If I've deleted a file 2 months ago, and haven't had a need for it by now, I probably won't. I suppose it is time to let go of the past!
