Am I the only one who doesn't like that fact that Facebook's thumbnail profile pictures haven't got rounded corners anymore? I don't like them now they've gone all boxy again!

I think I may have OCD...

The blue bar at the top is now the full width of the browser too.

And the curvy corners from the "publisher" (the status update box on the homepage) have also gone...

And the ad ratings system thing has changed. Apparently.

Don't like it at all, might make a greasemonkey script to change it back.

I don't understand why you would feel strongly enough to do that? I can understand preferring it how it was before, but seeing as it's just a rectangle, why would you go to that trouble?

It's good practice for me, and some people might find it useful, im not that great at coding and stuff like that yet. It's basicially something to do, i've had the past 4 months off... im that bored...

Fair enough then, practice more than anything.

I don't like the new bar at the top. It would look better if the text was 1) in the middle and 2) bigger. Don't mind it going across the full length of the screen, right enough.

Just seen this. It looks crap. Why can't they just stop fiddling?

Think it's to bring it in line with Facebook Light, the low spec fersion? (version) for mobile phones and emerging markets.
