iOS7 - Increase contrast to decrease vomit

iOS7 uses an extensive array to create a colour theme based on your wallpaper.

Unfortunately, with the availability of detailed wallpapers, combined with the oversatureated app icons - iOS7 most likely will look like barf, vomit, and puke.

Here's the trick to tidy things up, by using yet another option that is not on by default and which resides in the Accessibility settings, making you feel that you have some kind of impairment:

Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast > On

Results? See below:

EDIT: iOS7.0.3 seems to have reduced the vomit-factor without the need for any accessibility settings. Good riddance!

iOS 7

Meh.

I can't be the only one who feels this way.  

I sincerely dislike the control panel being an upward swipe from the bottom of the screen: I have to remove the protective case to get it to work consistently.

The update has nearly totally borked the Facebook app by apparently affecting the screen scalings.  The comment box is only an 1/8 inch tall, and the "post" button is now larger than its bounding box.  Not to mention that posts now sometimes overlap each other.

It looks like everything was drawn with a huge crayon by an 8-year-old prone to ADHD and a nervous tic.

Everything might be more colorful (meh), but it is flat.  Now it appears to me to be an Android knockoff.

Apparently, it has totally borked the YouTube app, as I keep getting "Invalid video ID" errors.

I don't know.  The new interface is going to take some getting used to (not that I have a choice now).  At least with versions 5-6, iOS was distinctly Apple.  Now it seems as if they are trying to copy something else (I'm thinking the Kindle Fire, but I could be wrong about that).

Am I the only one that thinks the iOs7 icon's roundness looks somewhat equal to the Nokia's Asha 211?

iOS Human Interface Guidelines

"For the best results, enlist the help of a professional graphic designer. An experienced graphic designer can help you develop an overall visual style for your app and apply that style to all the icons and images in it."

Apple should hire one professional interface designer to look over the iOS7 GUI.

iOS7 is slooow

Why should I wait for an animation before I can unlock my device from sleep? Used to be instant without any animation. Opening a folder is slower than before. The following article sums up my thoughts:

"These animations in iOS 7 feel like its designers are showing off their cool new abilities, and we’re just along for the ride. After sitting through all of these, day after day, it’s no longer impressive — it just feels needlessly, artificially slow." http://www.marco.org/2013/08/27/along-for-the-ride
