    This is actually by design. In the list of features:

     

    - Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons

    that is just so bizarre to get rid of a visual reference that was helping work faster. Now there are similar icons and all painted in same monochromic color and is defenitely not helping me. I don't understand the thinking behined this. I'm defnitely not happy.

    Now we are back to the good old times of "Black & White" photography!

    Below my rant to Aperture Feedback, do feel free to copy and paste if you feel the same!

    Send all feedback within aperture via the "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the main Aperture Menu.

     

    The monochrome appearance of Aperture 3.3 is absolutely disgusting and reduces efficiency. It will now take me longer to find the correct button to push. Only by a few seconds but every second counts. Do we really want to live and work in such a drab and dreary environment? Monochrome is not a good look fashion be damned.

    I am sure its a good upgrade in other areas but I feel totally robbed you have taken my color away! Colour icons are EASIER to recognize.

    I agree, and just posted this to Apple (taking parts of DW's feedback):

     

    CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION: Make the icon colouring a user selectable option!

    Aperture -> Preferences -> Icons set: monochrome / colour

    Totally agree. Now from the right account, too... :-)  Bring back colour if a client wants it. There is no way this monochromeness makes it easier for my dad to make a transition from iPhoto to Aperture.. imagine the ease of saying: "Click on blue folder" as opposed to "click on the thing that looks like a folder but actually almost looks the same as the other icons in the left library pane". Come on Apple - the icons are there, all we need is a simple option in Preferences and 100.000 Aperture users are happy again.

    At first I thought OS9. But then I realized of course that OS9 was color.

     

    I think you have to go back to the pre-Mac II days (1996) for monochorome.

     

    Very odd why Apple does this. iPhoto is still color.

    Utterly disgusting to lose the color, particulsrly in the library pane.  Take suggestion of another and make colo a preference item.  Please do it soon.

    The phrase "Snowballs chance in ****" springs to mind! Like Frank said, it's the way of the Lion, look at Finder and iTunes.

    OK..Who did it?  Own up! 

     

    Apple release devices with the new Retina Displays so we can see more colours..So which ******* decided that all icons will be monochrome???  Can someone at Apple explain the thinking behind this - "we will make better displays so you can see better colours, but we are going to make all programmes monochrome"

    Well, I know that PhotoShop used to have an option to make the toolbars monochrome so that it would not upset any color balance you might see evaluating the image. To see just how bad our eyes *are*, check out Cteins new column on TOP:

    (But I agree that it should be an option...)

    Hi Keith,

    I totally agree with having as few distractions as possible when editing images, and can see this might be an option some favour. But when sorting and organising images, it slows down the process.

     

    I'm confident that, with enough suggestions through the Aperture Feedback site, Apple will bring this out in the next tiny update.

     

    Thanks for the interesting article!
