I gave this a try and it looks good!

If you dont like the new Facebook - here's how you can change it back to the old. On your Home page, look to the top left menu and click on MORE.Then drag STATUS UPDATES to the top. After dragging it to the top, click on it.

That becomes your default and it becomes like before.

THAT IS WRONG! IT IS NOT THE SAME! YOU ONLY GET TEXT UPDATES AND NOT PHOTO OR VIDEO UPDATES IN THE RIGHT COLUMN.

Re: New Facebook Look and how to go back to the old look!

Is it still just me, of do you still have to click the refresh button whenever you want to see new updates though? Before this last change, you just move your mouse over the window/tab with Facebook in it and it would detect the mouse and show new posts. Manually clicking Refresh is a PITA.

Necessity is the mother of invention

I tried that. The status update is ONLY status update. There is no live feed. It didn't work. scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on edit options. Then change the maximum number of friends shown in live feed to 5000. THEN you can edit the people you want to see in your live feed. It's still not the way it was, but it's better. Unfortunately you can still see who everyone has made friends with.
