Maybe it's just me but this feels like a serious downgrade. I really admired the way the blender 2.5/6x UI looked in that it had a kind of sheen and niceness that you don't see in many applications. A friend of mine described it like "you can tell the Blender developers spent a lot of time thinking about making the 2.5X series pretty, it's almost like a throwback to a demoscene application in that way." I agree... it did feel that way. But a lot of this sheen now seems gone in these revisions, largely because of the removal of embossing and the muting of the icons... it feels a bit sad to me, honestly!
