But doesn't the CC match the folders? To me, the notification center is the one that doesn't match (but it's understandable, because it needs more contrast to read text)
Got a tip for us?

Do you like, or loath, the use of translucency, or "frosted glass" in iOS 7?

This...the dock needs some work. Hopefully they work on it a bit.
Any chance of them adding a transparent or barely translucent as you said?
Translucency is the least of its problems, though I'll agree a poor choice of background can add to readability issues because of it.
If the idea is to make the UI more "out of the way" of the user, they certainly missed the point by using <blink>neon</blink> colors.
(no, I didn't expect to the blink tag to do except <sarcasm></sarcasm>)

I didn't mind the linen as much as how things were handled with stuff like the 'folders'. I hated the notion of dropping open and basically wasting a line on the display.
YES! So far, I'm fine with the new iOS 7 UI, but I would LOVE to have a dark theme just because it's easier on the eyes. Wasn't there a rumor that said something about light and dark themes being available?
Oh and a reference for a dark theme might be something like Safari in private mode.
There is a vast middle ground between like and loath. I don't find it al that useful but it doesn't bother me either.
You do have a choice.
If the translucency bothers you you can turn it off by going to:
settings>general>accessibility>increase contrast>on
Need to add choice "Don't Really Care".

It's one of the few things I like, although the dock could look better. The rectangle could at least have curved corners.

Need to add choice "Don't Really Care".
Since you quoted my post, I was curious as to what it was in my post that lead you to believe that it bothers me?

You cared enough to come into the thread, read the OP and decide you didn't care about it
Nothing implied
Sorry, should have chose my words better. Just meant it as a tip for those who didn't realize it could be disabled. Going along with your "Need to add choice" statement.
I'm like you, don't really care either way myself. It is a cool effect though.

The effect itself is nice however it was rushed out without proper optimization. It lags iphone 5 which in itself should be self explanatory that it's not optimized properly like all previous ios versions were.
This can easily be tested by opening messages app and with the keyboard up switching to landscape. it will lag. Now turn it off and there is no lag. Same thing with apple maps.

On IPad 2 and 4S it looks less transparent than on e.g. IPad mini and IPhone 5. On the latter devices it looks way better than on the two former.
I like it, however, there are times when buttons appear over colored frosted ares and the buttons can appear red, green or yellow and my brain misses them because I am looking for a mono chromed button...like the x or clear buttons in the notifications.
Alright, here's another question - everything on my 5S is grey (dock, notification centre, control, back of folders). Just updated my friend's 4S and it's all blue. Is that just a distinction between models or is there a way to change the colour?
ETA: it seems to change colour based upon your wallpaper...
