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...?

Cheers,
Simon
