... makes the UI uglier for my taste. I really like the UI style the way it is today. I find the pulley bar just the right size and the cross when closing the app looking slick and "unlike". I'd like to keep the design. The "colorfulness" of this update also makes some elements in the UI looking like Windows Phone, which I don't like. I like that the ambience picture will "last a bit longer" and thicker letters in the keyboard. But it's a pity to lose the ambience color on the keys.

So will it be possible for customization? As an option in phone setting, for example something like "Jolla Classic" and "Whatever-you-like-to-call-the-new-one".

EDIT: mars March 07 2014 10:32 I want to clarify that I'm only asking it to be optional, since we all have naturally different taste. I'm commenting based on the confirmed features in photos and version number here: http://www.allboutn9.info/2014/02/sailfish-os-1041-ohijarvi-whats-new.html?m=1#more and hoping it' not too late to do something about it :)

EDIT: March 07 2014 20:00 I'd like to try again to clarify since it seems to me many of you might have been too eager to misunderstand my point. And I don't know if I'm even allowed to have an opinion when my question/request gets shot down with a useless "not really a question" if one simply disagrees. So I'm editing the question to make it clearer: I was clear from the beginning that it was my own opinion and taste. I am NOT "complaining already" before the release. It doesn't really matter whether it concerns only this imminent update or any future update plans. My question is: Is it possible to make certain changes optional? Will it be reversible if, god forbid, I prefer the old look than the new one?

I think some of the changes make the UI uglier for my own personal taste. I really like the love the subtle UI style the way it is today. I find the was. The old pulley bar was just the right size and the cross when closing the app looking slick and "unlike". I'd like to keep the design. have the design back.

(EDIT March 21) Feature request: How about open up the possibility to create Sailfish UI SKIN packages for download and install? Maybe even combined with ambience and ringtones? This way users can decide the fonts, colors, etc they prefer. And this will also take the work load off Jolla devs.
