Facebook unveils biggest redesign in a decade

Facebook's F8 conference was in full swing last night, and the big news is that the platform has had a major redesign. After what one might call a turbulent 2018 for the social media platform, it's clear the company is on a mission to turn things around. Or, in this case, turn things white. 

Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage to reveal, among other things, that Facebook will be losing its iconic blue bar in favour of a sleek new white face (see above). Perhaps taking its cues from Twitter, users will also be able to take advantage of a new Dark Mode for web.
