Google Ruined my Homepage
Some moron engineer at Google made a brilliant decision: let’s collapse the iGoogle themes to fit more widgets in for those of us with smaller screen resolutions. FALSE. What the hell is the point of having a theme if it gets cut off? Use your brains, Google. I would much rather see the entire theme and scroll for my widgets. At least make it an option. Fix it now, it’s pissing me off.
What my theme looks like:
What my theme should look like
My screen resolution is 1280×800. I know I’m not really doing well height-wise, but it’s not the worst. I like my Google themes to be seasonal, and they ruined it on me. Now everything’s cut off. Thanks Google
Update: 11/25/2009 – A Google employee replied back on their help forum and acknowledged that the users were upset. Google will be making a change to how this was implemented and will post back to let us know. I will keep you updated

There is currently no solution. You can try these workarounds:
Use Google Chrome as a browser. The toolbars are smaller so more screen space is saved
Install this Firefox addon. It gives you an option to resize the header. This is a stupid solution, but works temporarily
