Blogger got new looks

Opened Google's Blogger yesterday and I saw a notification that blogger has got new interface and there was an option to try the new interface , Choosed the try option and I was amazed to see blogger's brand new looks. The new interface is great looks neat, clean and more stable as compared to the older one.
The major change is that more of white color is used in background and orange tabs which are faster than before and several drop down menus are used in it. The post editor is being expanded and it looks like a clean white paper. The looks are given resemblance like Google + looks, every part of google's blogger is updated with fresh looks. So in short "Awesome looks and graphics".
However there is an option to switch back to older looks if you are not liking the new or if you are used to previous one.
Remember after some period of time, blogger will automatically switch all accounts to newer interface .
Take a look at the snapshots of the new blogger looks.
