    Fine, let's compare them on the same background. The new one is still uglier. It's not the backgrounds that are the problem. It's the icons. The new icons have no dimension to them to separate them from the background. This is why some subtle shadows under the icon and behind the text are necessary. There's too much color vibration going on in the colors of the new icons.

    • looks shit broutopian
    • congratulations on making them both look shit. also why you think using the SAME background on both supports your argument is beyond me.kingsteven
    • your argument is beyond me.kingsteven
    • for a start OS6 worked better with more backgrounds because of the drop shadowskingsteven
    • while OS7 adapts more to the users background because of the frosted backgrounds (it just looks real shit with some)kingsteven
    • It's not "adapting" to the user, it's LIMITING the user.iCanHazQBN
    • It may use the "translucency" of your background, but who cares (when most background look like crap on os7 anyway)?iCanHazQBN
    • Look at how Messages, FaceTime, Videos, iTunes Store, and Weather all vibrate incredibly. They are so saturated and bright..iCanHazQBN
    • so saturated and bright that they clash with every background. You need some separation around those icons...iCanHazQBN
    • icons... as in a dropshadow.iCanHazQBN
    • I know designers hear "dropshadow" and they freak out. But they can be done nicely, subtly, and effectively.iCanHazQBN
