Not a big fan of the bright aqua blobs either, but I the itunes bars  
are...

Well, they remind me of working on a Solaris Sparc station aeons  
ago.  Or maybe some X windows monstrosity.  I mean, they are flat and  
dull and kinda fuzzy looking, somehow.

I guess I don't like the flatness of them, especially combined with  
the dark dull color.  Makes them look almost like they are recessed,  
despite the left side highlight.

However, overall I like the look of the new iTunes.  I think the side  
bar are with the playlists is quite good and has clear divisions.  I  
love the new "Downloads" playlist that comes up, and the new iPod  
view is excellent.

I don't get the whining about the caps.  I mean, who cares?

I did download a bunch of video stuff from iTunes (ABC had 3 2-part  
eps up for free along with a 22 minute "catchup for DH, GA, and Lost  
for free) and the 640x480 h.264 looks awesome on my flat panel.  Now  
if iSquint would get updated to the new resolution....
