that's it? that's so specific. For me this update brought the feeling that I can hardly see anymore. I'm always squinting now to try and distinguish things, whereas in iOS 6 and before I had no problem. What is it? The colors, the lack of depth, the low contrast, the super thin lines - all of it together and I struggle to make sense of it. That white on green is just blinding.

This is the problem - changing the l&f across the board is not a good MO in 2013. Yeah, I know, it's Apple and their fashion dictatorship. I've been through Mac UI changes since 1988. But I feel like I can barely use this tool now for what should be surfacey and easily hackable issues. I like the fundamentals, the animation is fine, the general UI tweaks are great.. it just hurts to use it now.

Apple needs to solve the one-size fits all UI problem. I don't care how they do it, I don't have a great suggestion ('theme support' is not one) -- but this state of affairs just sucks.



The thin lines and low contrast are the worst part. It's horrible.

I can't wait for Winterboard to make iOS 7 usable.
