New version of Google bar coming

A new version of Google bar is coming – something we announced was coming a few weeks ago in our TechTips group. The change occurred immediately for public Google accounts, and now Google has announced it’s ready for Google Apps.

They are removing the black navigation bar at the top of the screen that lets you quickly get to other Google products such as Drive, Calendar, Groups, etc., and replacing it with a small white grid in the upper right corner that gives you a listing of the different apps.

Google’s announcement (released on 10/30/2013) …

We are rolling out a new version of the Google bar for Google Apps users. This is designed to be simpler and more consistent with Android and Chrome OS. It includes notifications, a Google+ share box (if Google+ is enabled), and a new App Launcher with links to other Google products.

To see what it looks like, check out the TechTip posting we sent out.
