Google has started rolling out its black navigation bar to a few users (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/googles-experimental-black-navigation.html).
Yours may have, but mine has not. Google is well-known for rolling out different versions to see which ones 'perform' better with users, as measured by complaints or landing times or whatever UI-fu they employ.
The only thing I don't like (and which I'm surprised can not be configured) is the red line above the particular service you're using. I just don't care for the color red all that much and would prefer green or blue.
As a matter of fact, I wish there were a way to integrate my Chrome/ Gmail/ Maps/ Docs/ other Google products with a consistent visual theme...along with about 500 other things. If I were given face time with Google's UI people there'd probably be mass resignations by day 3 :-)
I'm kind of against the tampering with the front page in general. All of the animated doodles, ajax autocompletes and drop down menus really drag on my older "utility" computers. It's gotten so bad that I actually use bing on an old p2 in the basement because google is too frustrating. At least what I type into bing shows on the screen instantly.
