Unfortunately, it came with some side-affects like the boxes around the posts and all these other un-wanted things. I don't like the changes one bit, but I don't think that it is an option to have it changed back.
This happens with any major software upgrade. Programmers take the opportunity to incorporate a new "look and feel" for many reasons, including providing a visual confirmation that the software has indeed been updated, to take advantage of new programming techniques, to incorporate current "fashion", to make it look new and exciting, and sometimes it's just change for change's sake--in other words, just like any other updated product. Of course, we as humans tend to become comfortable with something once we've been using it for a while and regardless of what anyone says we tend to resist change. What was that book--"Who Moved My Cheese?"
I'm still grumbling to myself about the changes made to MS Office when Office 2007 came out! As a user there are some things that make me wonder why the heck the design team thought that was a good idea... but to get the updates we have to put up with most of the other changes.
I'm with the others who say let's wait for the team to finish getting the engine running smoothly before we worry too much about adding pinstriping to the paint job!
Cheers,
Tom
PS When I tried posting the above my browser (IE8 running on XP 64bit) acted up and it appeared the post didn't happen--when I clicked on the button to post it a second time I got a message informing me that the post was a duplicate and the I would be redirected to the thread. If I recall correctly this duplicate post prevention is new... and another good reason for the upgrade!
