Bring back Aqua Design Thread!

Hate to say this but the interface *****. I like the brighter colors. When I go on my computer, I don't want it to look minimalist utilitarian I want it to be bright and joyful colors. THIS INTERFACE IS NOT GOING TO FLY. A MESSAGE FOR APPLE=GET YOUR DEVELOPERS BACK ON THOSE CONSOLES AND FIX THE INTERFACE THE WAY IT WAS!!!!

i agree on the icon. heres what would have gone over better.

same interface, new features

I would encourage anyone who feels the same way to send your feedback to Apple:

Let's try and keep the criticism in this thread nice and constructive, otherwise it could disappear. 🙂

I really don't like it either. I sent feedback to Apple.

I really don't like the new grey design. In fact I am trying to downgrade back to v6 to upgrade the look and feel back to Aqua.

Anyone know where to get the latest v6?

sorry, i don't. try google searching for it. i'm looking for it, i will tell you if i find anything.

Personally, I thought iTunes v6 had a terrible interface. v7 is far worse. I won't even begin to list the problems (continuity with the rest of the OS being number 1), but suffice it to say that I consider the iTunes interface broken.

Just to add my tuppence worth: I am very disappointed with the lack of Aqua, and have discovered a few bugs (multiple album art drop doesn't appear to work is the main one). The feature set is good though, so I hope Apple fix the interface.

Luckily I backed up my entire disk, so I can easily restore to v6, and I'll be doing so until they have at least fixed the bugs.

i think we all should boycott itunes 7

Try here for 6.0.4 or older. Here for 6.0.5.

I agree. Apple has been violating their own human interface guidelines for some time- and iTunes 7.0 this just makes it worse.

Pretty soon my desktop will look just like dashboard- every app, like widgets, will have their own "skin." (I don't disapprove of "skinning" for widgets, but I certainly do for applications.)

Lets see... we have plastic, metal, aqua, iTunes 7.0, whatever they use in the pro apps, and of course Apple's Java doesn't fully support Aqua (a third party had to produce a L&F that adds much of the support that is missing.)

Keep this up, Apple, and I'll be using Gnome on Fedora Core.

iT7 reminds me of a really bad Java Applet.
It's horrible. Please do something about it Apple.

I agree. My thread got locked and deleted yesturday when I posted a thread like this...


Anyways, I hate the new plastic looking scrollbar, I hate the new back/pauseplay/forward buttons.


And finally, I hate that its such a resource hog.

NO DONT BRING BACK AQUA

MAKE SOMETHING MUCH BETTER PLEASE

i can't believe how dated aqua and this new itunes7 ui even more so is...

even microsofts (sorry cant find the dollar sign now) zune has a much better interface than the ipod. and zune player looks better than itunes7 too.

whats up with apple?

I have sent feedback to Apple asking to bring back Aqua. The new smokey blue-ness is horrible.

Zune fanboys go away and play with yourselves. Your not welcome.
