I Wish I Knew
Has anyone else noticed that the ipad dock on IOS 7 is the old style when plugged into iTunes.

Although im quite liking the new icons i think the dock looks better in the old style

There's also old style unlock in the thumbnail preview of the screen in the brightness and wallpaper settings section.
 
New dock is so bad.

What's annoying is at the top you can see a tiny bit where it's more transparent, but then it's the full thing.

If there was a larger/more gradual transparent area, it'd look much better.
 
iTunes needs an update... Probably will get it in same day that iOS 7 released to public.
 
Where is the unlock. I cant see it any where :(
On the iOS device itself if you go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and look at the preview screenshots in the Choose Wallpaper section--the old unlock screen is there.

Yeah I hate that too. I think it will look good once it's transparent (as I've seen in some screen shots), but for now I'm not a fan. But I noticed the same thing about that tiny strip of transparency even on beta 1. I hoped it would be fixed in beta 2 but no luck yet.

Doh. Me stupid.

i thought you meant you could unlock the old dock from there lol

You think that's bad? Try switching a few wallpapers and watch the dock get stuck as one of the base colors of a wallpaper you're not using anymore.

e.g. a nature wallpaper with a lot of green would give you a green dock.

switch to an all orange wallpaper and watch the green dock stick :p
 
I like the old style dock (and love it on my Mac) but I think it looks wrong on iOS7. Having said that a fully transparent dock on iOS7 would be so much better, if people kept reporting the dock as a bug maybe Apple will get the hint.
