Ahhhhhhhhhh! It's like when iOS changed their icon styles. ;)

Not bad, just different.

it's much easier to focus on the project without distraction of the colored icons. Icons are nice and pleasant to compliment titles, but too many colors was causing my brain to spin:)

I'm really happy with the re-skin... My productivity has increased when using ARC

Ha, ha... @DJ... you remind me of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly... Gena Davis asked him why he has 5 exactly the same suits, same colour same style in his closet... He responded, they are for each day of the week... I don't have to think about colour co-ordinating or what style... I just reach in his closet and grab the appropriate day's suit... That way I can free my mind to focus on my matter transporter and not cloud my mind with trivial decisions and distractions like clothing choices...:P

LOL oh no - scary... my wardrobe is changing that direction too it seems

#5  

I have 5 pair of the exact same pants (REI Adventure pants) and they are all I wear to work (well, I wear shirts and stuff too, but they are the only pants I wear).

Found something that worked, and unlike every other pair of pants I have owned, they don't fade, fray, or otherwise make me replace them earlier than I want. And they have extra "hidden" pockets in the thighs, so I can always have a little extra gear with me (pen, pocket knife, phone, etc...).

Its nice to wear the same thing. The down side is people think you a.) don't have any more clothes and b.) wear the same cloths without changing. Albert Einstein bought several versions of the same suit. Steve Jobs wore the same style of clothes. Mark Zuckerberg is doing it now too.

James Bond tended to dress the same too. :P
