Has anyone else noticed that the urls on the results page of Google have turned into a luminous green colour, from a non-eye piercing green? The original url colour can, at the time of writing, be seen on an image result.

Looks the same for results and images (and news). But I am using chrome [surrender]

**pharmablogger** · 06-13-2009, 07:07 AM

Looks the same for me too, on IE.

**cigattIcTot** · 06-13-2009, 08:00 AM

Looks the same to me in Safari.

**Metrujectiktus** · 06-13-2009, 08:04 AM

Did you turn digital vibrance up too far?

**SinncmxM** · 06-13-2009, 11:42 AM

same here with safari.

**violetgorman** · 06-13-2009, 01:41 PM

Looks exactly the same as far as I can tell.

**xpllmr** · 06-13-2009, 02:26 PM

They've been green for a while now. I don't mind them [thumbup]

**perhilzit** · 06-13-2009, 05:45 PM

Firefox, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Safari and Opera are all normal my side... [thumbup]

**ibupronec** · 06-13-2009, 05:53 PM

Ah, I just noticed it's normal on .com, but luminous on .co.uk!

I though it was that at first (as in it turned itself up somehow)!

**SinncmxM** · 06-13-2009, 05:56 PM

What browser are you using, because .co.uk, .com, .co.za all look the same to me, and by the same... not bright luminous green at all...

**SinncmxM** · 06-13-2009, 06:50 PM

it looks same to me even on co.uk or .ca or .com

ur colors seem a little off too ..

**perhilzit** · 06-13-2009, 06:58 PM

If anything check the settings on Your google toolbar i see you have there... or better yet... remove it, its probably just slowing your browser down

Haven't touch the settings in there. The toolbar is a must for me, it has so many useful features and doesn't slow things down at all.

Hmm, just tried Chrome and urls are the normal colour. Must be something to do with IE7 or the toolbar, or maybe IE7pro. Can't think why it would suddenly change or why any of these apps would effect something like this.

**SinncmxM** · 06-14-2009, 03:13 AM

its weird tho, even your google logo seems to have different colors, like blue is a darker and more vibrant.. maybe its ur vibrance settings ? when i used 2 monitors on my vista lappy something similar was happening it was randomly changing the vibrance settings after using a full screen application. i had to always go into control panel and reset color settings. (which was very annoying). even choosing apply settings at start up didn't help. after using that computer like that for a while i had to reinstall vista which of course cleared up the problem. (reinstalling drivers didn't help either).

**ibupronec** · 06-14-2009, 05:04 AM

Just checked my colour settings and vibrance is off, and brightness, contrast and gamma are all on 50%.

Also, I just checked IE7-64bit, which doesn't have IE7pro or the google toolbar, and the links are still luminous. Guess it must be IE7, no idea why it would suddenly change though. Hopefully, when I update to IE8 (which'll be when IE8pro comes out) it'll return back to normal!

**Faigokilix** · 06-14-2009, 07:45 AM

Mine has the same problem...using Safari 4. Bright green links. WTF.[help]

**SinncmxM** · 06-14-2009, 07:49 AM

i just still can't get used to it yet.
