Does anyone know what size a panoramic photo needs to be to fill up the lock screen so it looks right with no pixellation?

Thanks a lot.
 
Pretty please screenshots of iBooks icon, library and reading gestures, flipping, paper patterns, colours..etc
Thanks :D

iBooks has not changed. None of the "optional" apps have. I suspect they will be updated when the OS goes live.
 
I think a lot of the icon hate comes from them showing them with the worst background for it.

I mean the blue pastel purple bubble background. The icons look solid with other backgrounds IMO.
 
can someone post a screenshot of now playing music app with the lyrics showing please?
i'll appreciate it
 
I think it's broken.

Perhaps one of the iPhone 5 peninsulares can post, it probably works fine on there.
 
Does anyone know how to coax the lock screen into flipping its text colour? Mine doesn't seem to change, whichever type of background I use.

OMG seriously i don't like the way it shows the lyrics
it absolutely more nice with the black UI and transparency behind the lyrics

but im glad apple didn't removed this feature..
 
I see green colored battery icons on the home screen. What determines the green colored icon versus the standard white? Also, if you lower the brightness, does it gray or sub due the whites? How does the iOS interface respond to different colored wallpapers?
 
I just dislike the way it looks. It all looks like its "one". iOS6, the text bubbles popped from the background, These don't. Just my opinion, don't like it.

Anymore pics of the messages app? I cant believe they took the 3D looking bubbles away, not a fan AT ALL of this flat look.
 
The home screen is a bit much, but the bigger issue is that most of the icons don't really reflect the apps that they house. However, I use a solid black background in order to somewhat mute the wild toy-like colors of the apps. I actually agree with some people who are bitching about the gradients of the store icons. Solid blue and solid purple would be much more simple and elegant.

One thing though, no matter what background I choose, I do not notice any 3D effect. Certainly not to the extent I see in the various demos. I really want it!

Have to admit that iOS7 looks LESS refined than before.

And that sailor moon / my little pony / romper room theme ........... is that the only option?

I don't understand your concern at all. The new message app is lovely, and far more "alive" than before. I can post some pics if you'd like. I don't know what there is to look at though. It's like the old app, except white, blue, and flatter. The text bubbles move like water bubbles, its cute.
 
The more screenshots I see the less I'm looking forward to the update, everything is SO disjointed.

I've even seen, and I think I actually pooped a little bit when I saw this, a shadow applied to the white info bar at the top so it could be seen on a dark wallpaper that had white bits where the info was. :eek:

The design of this thing is terrible and its getting worse from the more screen shots I see. :(

Looks can be deceiving. I've been using it, and even in this beta state, its very refined, and mostly very well thought out. Loving the new features. They're actually useful, not just extraneous gimmicks. My phone has no 3D effect though, I don't know why, I want to see what it's like.

So disjointed? Maybe you're disjointed because it looks so different. I've been using it for less than 24 hours and the new look is already starting to disappear. It works very much like it use to, but with added features. The new design is very, very nice. Obviously, an OS isn't designed in a vacuum, so things will improve even more over time. Relax.
 
I very much like the overall design direction of iOS 7. I think it looks much nicer than any other OS out there.

Having said that, the OS still seems lacking in functionality to me. For example, several posters have noted that some wallpapers are "bad wallpapers". That doesn't make sense, the user shouldn't be forced to choose a wallpaper to match the device, the device should match the wallpaper (or at least have deep enough customizability so that the user may set things the way they like it). Some of the screenshots where text is unreadable are just silly.

I would be interested to know, from those of you with iOS7 on your devices already, what if any functionality has been added to the settings? I'm thankful for an easily accessible "control center" but in the actual settings, did we gain any customizability?
