Existing users, 
Great. Just what the Mac world needs – another round icon with a predominant blue colour in the dock.
I'm really no fan at all of the darker grey UI for v7, but functionality seems much improved so far and I like the greater ease of accessing iPod information.
Shame Apple dropped the green note in the icon, though.
Apple iTunes

Nice update, but adds to icon confusion in the dock…

I hear you on the dark grey, quite melancholy colour of the new UI... I sure don't hope this is a "hidden" preview of what's we can expect for Leopard... I hope they will stick with Aqua, 'cause iTunes v7 looks like a UI theme for Windows or something. Believe me, it's nice to get rid of the graphic memory-heavy brushed metal look in many of the apps, but I am hoping for another UI once Leopard comes - and hereby probably also iTunes 8.0...I think the icon will take some getting use to. The new style is quite nice, but I don't get why green was to be replaced by blue though. Maybe Apple is going to make all their icons with blue. Just take a look at Finder, Safari, Mail, iChatm Quicktime, iMovie, iDVD, Automator and now iTunes. It's good with some variety, but really, tonnes of my icons are already blue: Real Player, Skype, Folders, Shiira, Camino, etc., etc.

oh come on already... so they made the music note blue instead of green... If you think back they changed the color a couple of times already. I think it started out as blue?What's so hard abut seeing the iTunes icon... it's 90 the same.
Personally I disliked the green icon.

Sure, OK – you don't like green. I do – a green iPod mini and new hankering for a green nano testifies to this. It's not that I'm wedded to the green per se, but that I think: if you're going to change it, don't make it blue like 90% [invented statistic alert] of other Mac OS X icons.I like blue, especially Aqua blue, and I'm a pretty bright bipedal human adult, but I do have to space my Camino, Safari, iChat (and even Mail) icons apart in the dock because at a stolen glance, they look awful similar. As I recall, we've had a blue and a purple note before.
Actually, the more I use iT7, the less I like the new UI (with the exception of the slightly flaky CoverFlow, which I'd already downloaded and liked, but didn't use much). I was a fanboy for the light plastic look of iT5 and 6, but this feels retrograde and I shudder to think what might happen to the Finder in Leopard if it goes this way too.

Here's an idea, get rid of the Dock! I use DragThing have have been very happy with it. It has tons of features the Dock doesn't and never will have, and you can make the background colors whatever you like. I now keep the Dock hidden at all times and never have to see it unless my cursor slides too close to the edge of the screen where I keep it hidden.Reply to This
