I think the new way looks far better, made me jump a little in my chair with excitement at its awesomeness.
I belive the "new" look is actually the old look before SOE changed it. I did not like the change when SOE did it and I dont like it this time when it changes back too. I guess its easy to get used.
Wow, I was excited there for a moment thinking there were significant UI changes. Boy was I disappointed when I realized we are talking about such a small insignificant change. Can't see getting worked up about this. Very small cosmetic change which definitely falls into the "who cares" category.
