Is anybody else having opacity issues with Notification and Control Center? No matter what background I use, whether from the stock list or a user generated image, when I invoke Control Center, I get a white overlay with no opacity to let the bottom layer show through.

Image

Also when I invoke Notification Center, I get a full black pulldown with no opacity either.

Image

I didn't have this problem after downloading Beta 1 or Beta 2 but now after I updated with an OTA download, I'm having these issues. The opacity overlays is one of my favorite design elements of iOS7 and now I can't see it.
Can anybody help?
No probs here, but this is the reason why you should always install new betas as new device and not update and never ever restore from backup...
It was mentioned so many times on these forums and yet people are still ignoring it...
 
Yeah! I thought I was the only one that preferred the helvetica neue ultra light font.

Why do people resist change for the sake of what they are used to instead of what is better? :(

I preferred it too but that doesn't mean that it was better. It's probably more legible for a majority of people. Even I can see it, but the font is heavier which is bad from a pure artistic pov.

Go into your settings app and turn increase contrast off - this will bring back the opacity.
 
Really hope they get the post to facebook & twitter option back to notification center. Really used that feature a lot.
 
Where does one go to submit feature requests? The control centre is good for turning off bluetooth / wifi but were is the option for cellular data ?

There are some things they'll never add, they don't want to have 20 quick toggle buttons à la Samsung. They have to decide which function is vital. I agree with them that a quick toggle on data connection isn't vital and shouldn't exist since it removes the point of a smartphone which is to be always connected. That's why I also think that the toggle for wifi shouldn't be there either. Those buttons are an answer to short battery life but they are not the right answer. Samsung even added a power saving button, do you want that too? The right answer is to make better batteries.

Thank you! Don't know how that got turned on.

So much for the clean install suggestion, looks like everybody seems to think they know everything!
 
don't know if its already been mentioned but the fact the signal strength icon overlays the downward pointing arrow in the lock screen i find extremely tacky...

Why shouldn't wifi be there? I turn that off every day at work since I don't want to use company wifi for personal stuff.
 
It's a funny bug, but I've had one "unread message" for quite some time now! I deleted all my messages, and the badge is hanging around. Even now, after the Beta 3 update.

I have the same problem with the gamecenter,

I deleted the game from my iphone, removed it from the gamecenter and still has badge assigned to that particular game.

You can now stream videos off your account and now download it on you I device :D

This is huge! I've been waiting for this forever in iOS. It was so annoying to have to download and delete content for lack of space on iOS devices. Being able to stream all of my 30+ movies and 400+ TV shows is a Godsend.

I created a Macrumors account just to post this.
 
I'd really love to be able to invert the colors to black... and sorry, not the "invert" accesibility feature.

Nothing more annoying then seeing your pictures surrounded by white areas. It turns black when you hit edit, but thats not enought...

seriously don't think photos should have white backgrounds..

You mean, like every photograph with a border ever, for the past 100+ years?
 
Two fundamental questions, and things that have been needed to be allowed since day one.

1: Do apple now you to select and use 3rd party on screen keyboards, so that someone can make a keyboard with a slightly narrower line of numeric keys along the top. Crazy not to allow this esp on the iPad with it's vastly larger screen area.

2: Do apple now allow you to use a 3rd party web browser as the default one that pops up with you hit a link, in say an email?

thanks
 
Because not all change is great , Mate.

Change for the sake of change because android is kicking your bum is not great . Mate.

And if this was simply "change for the sake of change", or because of Android, you might have a point.

But neither of those things are true. Mate.
 
Anyone seeing black notification center, Siri and search keyboard on iPhone 5 - it's annoying me :(

Disable "Increase Contrast" :)

don't know if its already been mentioned but the fact the signal strength icon overlays the downward pointing arrow in the lock screen i find extremely tacky...

My god it's a beta for **** sake! Things are going to be tacky and broken! Give it a bit!
 
you guys will like anything won't ya

.... as long as it comes from Apple that is...

Even though this is still "in beta", i hope the candy stuff can can changed at least...
 
So....

Happy that they got rid of the .co.uk/m button!

Very weird behaviour with SMS at the moment. I sent a message to a friend that I know has a Samsung phone. Phone sent it as a iMessage (blue and labelled) and returned with a delivered then read receipt!

Any one else had this? I couldn't believe it! The read receipt seems to be correct too!

I know what you are thinking, my friend has got a new phone. They haven't, they take great pride in the fact they use a Samsung! I asked them, they told me they are using their samsung.

I agree with you there.

Why not just set it to not automatically join that network?
 
I'm fairly certain the actual rule #1 in design is forget all the other rules.

So you would be happy if I used 4pt Helvetica Ultralight reversed out of a four colour 'black' on your business cards and charged you for it?

What if Apple set the font size to 2 pixels in iOS7?

I had a similar thing - sent a text to someone who would be the last person on this earth to have a fancy phone. Turned out he didn't, of course, but did have a different number since I last texted him. I assumed his old number had been recycled and now belonged to someone with an iPhone.

----------

Just to say I preferred the lighter font too. About the only thing I'd noticed that really suffered was the 'slide to unlock' text on the lock screen.

But overall, I definitely preferred it.

How does Helvetica Regular in B3 compare to Helvetica Light in B1 and 2? Presumably not too much difference. So before we had the option of light or bolder. Now we have the option of regular or bolder still.
