This new look. Drop shadows and harsh boxes everywhere. It's garish and makes me think of Windows 95. Which as you know is from the 1980s. Kornel, please...

Windows 95 is a consumer-oriented graphical user interface-based operating system. It was released on August 24, 1995 by Microsoft.

It has. As Korn has said, most of the updates are behind-the-scenes, so won't be immediately visible.

Im still back on Windows 7 - dont fancy upgrading through 88 revisions.

Agree though the drop shadow makes everything look a bit blurry on my lovely unblurry desktop monitor. Can we has option to disable it?

On a Macbook with Retina display, which admittedly can make some sites look worse, it's horrific. Some sites can look a bit fuzzy, but although this looks sharper than it did, it's somehow fuzzier and not so easy on the eye.
13 inch Retina Macbook Pro/Safari (no different in Chrome).

They can stay behind the scenes, rather than have me think I need new glasses.

The funny thing is, you're all moaning about a couple of minor tweaks when there's oh-so-much-more-drastic stuff coming later down the line Laughing

He should be paying us 50p per post. After all without us this place would end up desolate and empty with cobwebs and no one to feed the kittens. Laughing
