Redesign from Google !

Google has made some big changes to Hangout, maybe it does not work properly, but it seems still good enough.

Feature is similar to "Better On Air Hangouts" but this one is for Hangout and does not need Hangout-on-Air. (But also works with H-O-A if you check the box to enable H-O-A)

v1.3 Version Toogle with double-click:

This Version works now with doubleclick on the big video-player and makes it fullscreen (maximized) , doubleclick again to make it back to normal size.
