When did this start?

I often travel over to Google News to search for my goalies, seeing whether they’re going to start that night.  When I searched for #1 hot goalie superstar Pekka Rinne today, I saw this:

Google News picks up quotes now?  I decided to try another name:

Interesting!  I tried one more:

Impressive, Google!

I like the way that the new Windows Live toolbars look.  They’ve done away with icons for the most part, and now it’s just straight up text on a bar.  I thought ‘I would like Firefox to appear the same way’.  And the following Stylish style was born:

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar
{
    padding: 2px 3px 3px 3px !important;
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton
{
    padding: 0px 10px !important;
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar .toolbarbutton-icon
{
    display: none ! important
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton > label
{
    color: #355a88 !important;
}

Basically just hides the favicons and sets the label colour to a nice blue.  The actual WL Wave 3 apps have a slightly lighter background colour, so I might embed a PNG into the style as the background in the near future, but until that time, this will do.  Also, the separator needs to be lighter and extend 100% vertically, but again, I’m going to bed and will forget about this by tomorrow.

It looks like this:

And for reference, Windows Live apps now have a toolbar that looks like this:
