Hi all, just downloaded a security update on my new iphone 4S. The phone may be more secure but all the Aps icons have been downgraded in quality. Why would this be and how can I get smart looking aps back? Regards Steve

Hi Paulcb, thank you for your reply. I tried resetting as per your instructions but nothing has changed. The update was described as safeguarding against anyone being able to by passing the lock screen and adding a Greek Alphabet. I can't remember the version number on the update message but in settings my software is described as iOS 7.0.2 and upto date. Steve

Hi paulcb, Thank you again for taking the trouble to respond to my query re the change in the Aps icons. Unfortunately you are correct. The icons in your picture are the ones I’m moaning about. Perhaps I’m the odd one out but I honestly believe they look really naff compared to those in the previous version. Perhaps I’m getting snobby in my old age but in an instant the home page changed from classy to brassy. Not what I would have expected from Apple. Thank you again paulcb and all you other guys who took the time to respond. Suttertonsteve

Hi KiltedTim, as a newbie to Apple, iphones and forums I would appreciate an explanation of the 'Trolls and Mods' comments on your posting. I presume the Mods are Apple sentinels but am I really a Troll just because I made a criticism of the new iOS version (even though I did not know I was actually doing that). Am I a Troll to you because you personally disapprove of criticism of the new iOS or is Troll used by the community to describe anyone who speaks up if they are not happy about a change. Please understand that by asking these questions it is not my intention to be confrontational (I’ve been called far worse than a Troll over the years) but as I’m new to the group an insight into the politics may be beneficial. I’m an Old Fart who isn’t technically gifted and may need the help of this group in the future so I don’t want to stand on anyone’s toes. Best regards Suttertonsteve.

Hi paulcb, you are most probably aware that I'm a new member of this community and as yet haven't got to grips with the politics of the group or even how to use the site. Wandering around I noticed that correct or helpful answers can be rewarded with points. Although your answer that included a picture of the home page was not what I wanted to hear it was correct so I attempted to award you 10 points but failed miserably. I expected to have to find the correct answer (which I did) and click on something to mark it with a little green sticker and that would be job done. How do I award the points? Suttertonsteve

Hi paulcb, I'm thicker than I thought. I keep going to the message which shows the Home Screen but I can't find anything to click other than your name, like and reply. To the right of screen near the top is a heading 'Legends' and a green tick symbol (10 points) and a yellow star (5 points) underneath but clicking them has no effect. I have the right message but perhaps I'm viewing it in the wrong place. Any ideas welcome. Steve
