It doesn’t affect the interface of the Google+ once it is downloaded. What users will notice after they download it is the gray bar at the top with two downward arrows. The bar is utilized to collapse a thread of messages, and will then show a single row in the interface.

The important part of the messages was still highlighted and showed on the row. Users will see the name of the person who published the message, timeline of the message, the first few entries and the number of comments it got. The number of read comments is displayed in a gray box and once comments arrive; the box turns red also showing the number of new comments. G+me does not only work on the messages; it also provides functionality to collapse comments only. Note that collapsing the messages and comments will automatically mark them read.
