Tweaking the New Blogger Interface *Updated 19th November*
Update: 19th November We've just updated the Theme and CSS as Blogger changed a few things. We've also improved hopefully the colours as well as now making the action bar fixed in place as well.
Ever since Google/Blogger updated their User Interface it has been surrounded in controversy by users who either "Love it" and Users who "Hate it". Users are typically bemoaning the large amount of white space, bland colours, hard to read text etc.
Personally I'm somewhere in the middle.
However I do find some of the cosmetics pretty poor like other users inc white space, excessive padding, color scheme etc.
I decided rather than moaning about it to try and fix some of these myself and I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
Here is what my Dashboard looked like before my changes
Pretty Bland eh!
Now here is my new Dashboard.
Better? Well I think so.
Here is the old Compose Screen
Now here is my version.
Again, I think my version has a lot more character and it's easier to distinguish.
Other features that I've include are
- Better Colouring
- Improved Font Sizes
- Improved Line Spacing
- Fixed Left Hand Menu
- Improved New Blog Post screen
- Plus other minor tweaks
Ok, so by now if you're still reading then you'll probably asking yourself how can I fix my Blogger User Interface to look like this.
Well it's pretty easy. Simply follow these instructions.
1) You need to be using the Google Chrome browser. If you're not using Chrome then you should be. Go get it now here http://www.google.com/chrome
2) Now you need to install a very cool extension called "Sylebot".
You can get the extension here.
3) Once it's installed, goto my New Blogger Interface Style here

4) On this screen simply click the Install Icon
And that's it. Now when you go to Compose Screen or your Post/Articles listing page you should see the new design. You can also tweak the colours and settings yourself if you play around with Stylebot. (See the Further Reading section below)

I also suggest switching the font from Arial to Verdana or similar sceen font.
Arial is arguably more elegant but was designed for the printed page (based on Helvetica). It's much harder to read onscreen.
I have already made this change on my installation. I also:
* made always visible the hidden-unless-hover command links (edit, view, etc). No more easter-egg UI!
* since the above was a bit intense, I reverted back to the default color for these elements.
* made label-name links underline on hover.
These are less beneficial but still valuable to me.
Something else I mean to do, but do not remember how, is to limit the width of the main column to perhaps 600 px or so. It is way too wide on a large monitor and this would tighten things up.
Finally, I note the css is portable and can therefore, theoretically, be ported over to other browsers. I haven't tried this yet.
Dark UFO, thank you very much! The fixed left menu is especially beneficial.
And yes, the CSS should be pretty portable for Firefox styling extensions etc.
I'm also working on a script to autoopen the Labels field as well as making the Post Title on edit/create an "autocomplete" field so previous post titles can be seen as you start typing.

What do you think, and do you think they'll ever change their mind?
I don't think they will bring the old theme to be honest.
I thought you might have a bigger sway on Disqus than I do since I think you have an add ons package with them, but I could be wrong. One person I could ask who probably could do something is @fredwilson .
