[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1538822"] I think largely a lot of the complaints really come down to "its just different." That usually fades. I'll go along with some of cwa's concerns -- I have to wonder if the (bit excessive) use of white isn't eating more battery. I'm not at all bothered by the new icons, but yeah the reversal of the way you delete messages will take some getting used to (however, the swipe is now WAY MORE selective and functional than it was, so I'll take it). The last time Apple allowed people to use themes (ie built into the OS), the result was the most hideous concepts Man has yet recorded. The blunt truth is that most people have Microsoft's level of taste and style, and should leave such things to the professionals. It's INCREDIBLY rare that I ever see a customized Windows or Linux machine and don't think "what is WRONG with this person?" And you know it's bad if you find yourself wishing they'd go back to XP's default scheme, the Fisher-Price-invades-Teletubby-land special!! I've never agree with ALL of Apple's design choices and I doubt I'll be starting anytime soon, but as someone who didn't like the look of the early iOS 7 screenshots at all, I find that in practice they are better than I expected on the whole. To my GREAT surprise, the thinner font is actually easier for me to read (because in most cases it's larger and superior typographically, which makes it clearer). Simply put, I'll take this: [ATTACH=FULL]19527[/ATTACH] Over this: [ATTACH=FULL]19528[/ATTACH] ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. [/QUOTE]
