Google Notebook improvements

I was clipping articles from the web and saving them into my Google Notebook as usual yesterday when I noticed changes in the interface of Google Notebook:

• There is now a button to change the background color of (or highlight) selected text.
  
• There are buttons now for creating lists.
• The left panel now lists sections created within each notebook making navigation through the notebook easier. Now instead of having to manually scroll down the right panel in search of a particular section, one can just click on the section link on the panel and voila! you've scrolled down to the section.

Hooray! That option for changing background color was on my "wishlist" of improvements for Google Notebook. The next thing I'm waiting for now is the incorporation of tags. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one!

P.S.
Come to think of it, whatever happened to the Refresh link? Now I have to click on the name of the notebook/section on the left panel to refresh the contents.
