White is Supposed to Mean Purity or Something Similar Otherwise

Okay.

After reading this post, I was finally bothered enough to try out the New Blogger Interface.

As I clicked the button, I was suddenly overcome with... such whiteness. 
I was seriously taken aback at all the whiteness, seriously.
Apparently, this looks "clean" and "stunning/beautiful", whatever word they used on the Google Explanation Page.

I was surprised by its appearance, seeing that Ruby Mae complimented it.
Then again, I have no artistic sense and my sense of aesthetics is either weird or abnormal.

It felt... so... empty.
And emptiness is not good for someone suffering from Depression... I wouldn't think. :/
Gives me a "voided" sort of feeling. ==

It's easy to navigate around, obviously, once you remember to go the right way and click the right buttons. ==
I also like this "Create a New Post" look that I am currently on at the moment, too. ..although I think it still contains too much white. There should be some contrasting colours!! ><
I like how I won't ever scroll too far down or too far up and misses the text box. :3 (You'll know what I mean if you've used both versions. ...I think.) Very conventional.

I don't really like the new Dashboard design, however.
It's really hard to make out the different lines/links and stuff. I prefer the old one for this part, however I guess it also allows me to never miss new blog updates once I log in. ==

I like the features in the "Information/Settings" page you get directed to once you click on your blog, too.
But still, it's too much white.
Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I don't have anything against the colour white. I quite like it, actually. It's just that it's too much of the same colour. And that makes it a bit hard to... see where things are...

Ugh. I hate explaining things that are... hard to explain. :/

And I'd just realised - the white also gives of a glare... one of that is opposite to what you'd get from staring at a page with a black background and white writing for too long and too much. It doesn't hurt your eyes as much, but I can currently see a bright strip of whiteness in front of me. :/

I prefer convenience above appearance, after all.

Oh well. I'll leave it like this for a couple more days.
If it doesn't work, I change it.

No big deal. :/
