They added by default a background image to my homepage when im signed in, just like bing. this shit is ugly and i dont see a remove image button to make it just nice and plain white again. anyone know how to fix this?

Re: google homepage wtf

i am trying it has to be > 800x600. i uploaded something larger than that and its still complaining. looking again.

cant believe they are not letting you back out of this ugly shit. the whole reason people liked google search so much is that it was nice and plain. now they keep adding more shit to the homepage. soon to look like the old netscape portal site.

Am I the only one who has no idea what this thread is about? I use google every day and have noticed nothing. Except the other day the background was a desert photo.

Re: google homepage wtf

This caused a WTF moment as well for me but the next time I was online it was gone...now I know why. 24 hours annoyment. In fact, Google using a plain and white stress free background is one of the reasons to use it.

Re: google homepage wtf

it gives me the option to upload a pic from my files and i can remove it if i want to, no problems here looks cool imo useful for night time, screen can be too bright with no lights on. i was actually thinking about this couple of weeks ago, how nice it would be if i could have all the pages look like ms does, eyes friendly, and now here it is yey :D
