Actually I like the simplicity, and think one of the reasons the current set sucked is because they were too detailed and looked horrible when scaled down. That is another reason the classic icons were so good. The new ones look like they'll scale better.
Only problem I thought the icons had were the mix precip ones

During the winter, I think it is difficult sometimes to tell the difference between the rain and snow icons, and the difference between precip intensity (ie light v heavy). I think all the precip icons looked horrible on the LDL. A bad thing about the new icons is that it continues the waste of space in the bottom part of the icon if there is no precip, often making it look awkward when set against nearby text (see the satellite LF for frequent examples).

Seems a bit Web 2.0-ish for me.

My two cents are to keep the changes for the different precip icons for small scale things but keep the detailed precip ones for the large icons like the detailed currents page in the LF.  The new sun can stay in the production bin.

Some of the forecast maps they showed during PME had new titlebars.

I can barely see the text on the new title bars when they show it on the video wall.

Yeah, the title bars are much too small... but I hated the old ones. I'm on edge right now, as I don't know if all the graphical changes have been doled out yet...

Like I said before, I hate being on this end of things... simply because I have no idea what will happen next. Simply put, I'm nervous about the changes to the Intellistar, since Molly reported the new icons on the satellite feed  :fear:
