I agree with that. I don't need icons that look like they have clear coat or lacquer on them, but I appreciate some richness and depth.

iOS 7 still looks a bit generic to my eye, and the colors are just garish. Still hate the icons, although I don't use many of the stock apps, so it might not matter as much.

Post #731 in this thread (home screen with Apple icons hidden in folder) looks ok to me. I can live with that.

Agreed. But Apple may have all the other developers redesign their icons to match the Apple App icons in terms of design style. That way it looks more seemless. Why else do you think Apple gave the iOS developers the new design rubric for their icons?

My guess is that some developers will follow the new style, but even with iOS 6 app icons, not everyone follows Apple's lead. Facebook and Yelp don't have the gloss and 3D depth of the stock icons, while Twitter does have the gloss.

At least I hope not everything ends up so bright and flat looking. That would be too much for my eyes…

I doubt they'll force developers to design icons a certain way. Many developers probably will design their icons to fit the spirit of iOS 7, but I'm sure some won't.

I think most icons that are very iOS 6 heavy will be updated so they don't get lost in the wave of all the new iOS 7 themed icons. Also devs who want to completely redo their apps for iOS 7 and charge for them rather than update their current apps will have an increased interst to make their new icons different than the iOS 6 ones.
 
Here is mine

can I PLEASEEE have the link to this background?

Seriously, it looks like some teenager's loopy idea of a toy. It's the color scheme more than anything that messes it up. I wish that Sir Jonathan had never allowed the marketing people to touch the iOS user interface.

Not since Windows XP have I had this kind of reaction to an OS update. Now that I think about it, I thought Windows 2000 was a solid, professional looking interface that was ruined by whoever created XP.
 
Switch between these 2 walls for lockscreen, homescreen stays the same.
