This just proves they are not just making changes for changes sake. Everything they seem to be doing is an improvement. Ive and the team are working hard to ensure iOS7 is as perfect as iOS6. And I love it
Got a tip for us?

iOS 7 Beta 5 Tidbits: Icon Settings Redesign, New Control Center Options
- Thread starter MacRumors

I much prefer different colored bigger things that I can tell what it is at a super quick glance, not having to look carefully to read it to tell what it is. OS X sidebar was much easier to navigate with colored icons.
Why is it always the ones that are NOT even using the new thing that have the most negative things to say about it? ...try it (in the fall), you might like it (functionally, it is a big improvement over previous iOS's).
If you don't like it, though, you won't be able to downgrade. If you don't install it on your machine, you're just going to be left behind. You'll miss out on all of the cool things Apple is doing (function) just because their OS makes your eyes bleed (form).
I hope so!
...seems like they are trying to make things too familiar to iOS 6, like others have said, Steve Jobs wouldn't flinch at what people would have to say, he'd just do it his way, and then we end up loving it. He was a master at not reacting to people's reactions, because, we all react sometimes when something is different, but, then once we see the improvement, or get used to the differences, we end up liking it better in the long run.
Stop spitting this bolshevism crap. Majorities do not matter. Only the truth, right and wrong.
Good design and bad design. Im talking about user interface usability science.
Truth is singular. Its versions are mistruths.
Why should I ever care about what a majority of people thinks about anything?
I've always only been interested in undeniable facts of life, not stupid democracy.
Whatever.
How does the colour affect how readable the icons are? You read the text not the icon, so not sure what you mean there. As for what the colours mean, they are there to distinguish between the settings. Blue is for connectivity settings and green is for cellular related settings. Orange has always been used for Flight Mode.
It's really not that complicated.
The default display behavior has been this way since Beta 2-3. Should be in the Mail, Contacts, Calendar section now under 'Short Name'. Turn on 'Prefered Nickname'.
that simply isn't true, if your phone came with iOS 6 or older, you can downgrade back. If you buy a new iPhone in the fall, unless it is an older model, then you might be "stuck" with iOS 7.

Unfortunately for you, that's how the world works. Have fun with your "truths" while we enjoy our iOS7.
Really? Are you serious?! There is much more to this than just the interface which a massive amount of thought went into other than you 3 min look. No one made you do anything it was choice and you should be happy about it and move on. Your post is just pure FUD... Or maybe you're just a fool.

You'd make a great Dictator.
Me too.
Who the hell knows how iOS 7 will look like now! The design is going in all directions! Isn't there at Apple a single Art Director with the balls to be taking charge in there?? Meanwhile we are left here to suffer the hits and miss of these, sometimes godawful, design ideas. I've had it!
LOL you know, you don't have to use the beta. Suffering, you clearly don't know the meaning.
Then don't buy the new iPhone. No one is forcing you.

You don't know what the meaning of suffering is, do you? Not having food or shelter, being in war, disease, genocide.
You have money to spend on a $650 phone and can afford the phone bill. There are bigger things in the world than your opinion on design. Don't diminish the word suffering.
This is a known issue in beta 5. You need to reboot your device once or twice to resolve the issue.
All translucency is indeed gone! I hope this is a bug and not a decision.
I wonder if it's the same for the iPad mini...
But, but... The new look satisfies all the joyless high-brow design nazis out there like Gruber, and don't forget the teenage Android users/iOS haters with absolutely no taste!
I guess the rest of us can go **** ourselves.
Yeah I don't get this. How are they not readable?
Dude I can distinctly pinpoint the moment my heart sank on beta 1 and it was at the exact moment when I opened up the settings.
My mind said "oh oh... me not so happy with iOS7"
And its a matter of how the mind works, and your perception. The white-on-white is a different initial perception reaction compared to color-on-white icons.
It just wasn't as intuitive or pleasing. Its pretty obvious one is more organized on just a purely ocular level, never-mind the further details that come into play about how the mind works and perceives things.
