It is not my intention to say something unfriendly, but I must say
that I still strongly prefer the original design.
Displaying a home directory with a picture of a house, depicting
the 'settings' with a spanner? Children will like it, but as an adult
I feel insulted.
And sophisticated artwork just serves a certain target audience;
there are others (like me) to whom it is just irritating.
Apparently, personal tastes can vary very widely.
