I have no problem with the functionality of the new Gingerbread update, but it's really ugly. The old notification bar (black on white) was great, and the menus being white text on black background were also great.
- The new menus with black text on white background is too contrasty; it bothers my eyes!
- The white gradient under the launch buttons looks terrible.
- The new blue notification bar doesn't look right; should be black or white
I like the new Manage Apps option from the main menu, and the new icons are fine I guess.
How hard would it be to let us choose from a few very simple theme options, like what color the notification bar should be, if we want the launch gradient, and what scheme menus should use? I much preferred the old white on black, and the new one actually hurts my eyes to read. Give us some options!
