The New Tab Page used to be (somewhen between versions 2 and 3) slick and customizable. Now there have been added (1) a line telling me to synchronize my bookmarks, (2) a line with one of about a dozen tips and (3) a corner trying to tell me that Chrome now supports themes.
IMHO several things could be improved here: * Either make all of these optional in the way that thumbnails and recently closed tabs are, so that I can get rid of these elements which just visually distract but don't help me at all... * or at least be clever and don't show these after a reasonable amount of iterations, i.e. don't show the corner once a custom theme has been installed, don't show the bookmarks sync note after being ignored half a dozen times (it's still discoverable enough through both the Wrench menu and(!) the Options dialog), and don't show the same tip more than e.g. three times. * If you do the latter, the theme corner should step back so that it doesn't cover the two tip lines (with the window at a certain size, I can't even click the "Start now" link for bookmark synchronization). * Also, why is the bookmark synchronization line not integrated into the other tip line? Do you plan to expose every new feature in such a prominent way (making it a slight effort to ignore them)? Wasn't Chrome about featuring minimal UI at some time...?
