Google has almost finished Rolling out the New Look to more than 170 million users. The new Google+ layout is pretty nice,[...]

but if you're looking at it on a widescreen monitor you may have noticed the vast amount of whitespace on the site.

The big issue here is that both sidebars have a fixed size, and that the middle content area is dynamically resized, which basically means that the wider your browser window is, the larger the content area is.

G-Extend stretches the stream like a blackboard, it's too difficult to read. Too many eye jumps. When i contacted Google+ developers they told me that they take all the feedback and Improve New Google+. So we can expect some quick change very soon on Google+.

As for now lets take a look at some of the solutions for this issues.

Fix Google+ Whitespace

♦ Whitespace Remover for Google Plus

If you'd like to cut down on that whitespace and center everything, Whitespace Remover for Google Plus is a Chrome and Firefox extension that does just that.
Whitespace Remover doesn't overhaul or change the layout much. By default, Google+ has the navigation bar and stream on the left and leaves a ton of whitespace on the right. Whitespace Remover centers everything and adds a grey box around it all. Doing so cuts down on the brightness and makes it easier to look at on a widescreen monitor. So is NOT a whitespace "remover," rather just a whitespace "mover" - still just as much whitespace as before, just the feed is in the center. Liking G-Extend much better.
