JenSense

While creating some AdSense ad unit javascript for a client today, I noticed a new feature in the AdSense control panel, the ability to chose the style of corners in the ad unit. Publishers can now select “slightly rounded”, “very rounded” or “squared” corners on their ad units, which is done by adding a new line to the javascript.

Here is what the slightly rounded looks like:

Very rounded:

And squared:

And here is what the implementation looks like in the control panel (click for larger view):

This is a great stylizing change for publishers who want the ad units to mesh well with a site. Now you can chose the corner styles that best match the rest of the site.
