Hi widget lovers.

Hi widget lovers.  You may have noticed a new look for the +1 and +Share buttons that are consistent with the Follow and Badge widgets.  We hope you like them.

You'll also notice that they scale up beautifully.  All of our buttons are now using SVG to render the iconography, and the Roboto font for text. There's even some SMIL animations hiding in there too.  All of this is perfect for your new high dpi laptop, tablet or phone. ‡

Please let us know if they're working for you and if you have any suggestions. Thanks for using Google+ widgets!

‡ results may vary on IE8 and Gingerbread browsers.

Matt Mastracci I'll look into it and let you know.  Thanks!

They look ugly in my opinion... I prefer them being red with white text.

I prefer the old ones. But it would be awesome if we could customize the button as we want. That would be major advantage over every other Social Network.

Derrick Lambert thanks for the feedback.  White text is difficult due to contrast issues.

Hafeed Elbekkaoui I'll see if we can offer a button without the sharing dialog.  Can you give me an idea of the specific use cases where you think this would be better (feel free to send privately if you want..)

Vasilj Milosevic - Are there specific customizations you'd like to see?

Matt Mastracci - I've put in a request for a scalable Sign in button.

Thanks again everyone!

It would be awesome if we could use custom image, the less cool, but still cool would be color customization of the button itself :)

The size, roundness etc.

Thanks Vasilj Milosevic - I'll add this to our feedback for future releases.

Note that we do offer local customizations for the Google+ Signin button, so there is a precedent.

The vertical align of the numbers next to the +1 button in the bubble looks a little off, i.e. it doesn't look like it's exactly middle. Is this intended?

Masatake Wasa -- are you talking about the horizontal layout like this?

  [g+1] < [22]

There might be something there that's not right - we'll take a look.  Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, exactly, the horizontal bubble. It appears pushed down a little - if that makes sense - on Chrome and also on Safari.

[Edit / addition] For illustrative purposes: http://goo.gl/j00Hrx (just as a contrast, the Facebook Like button's vertical align seems to be exactly middle).

Daniel Baines Chrome Extension changes coming soon.  Sadly you can't use SVG in the toolbar..
