    I do develop for Windows and for things like Metatrader, Ninjatrader, etc. But it's for my own use, not to sell.

    The white font on previous versions had shadows.

    Anyway, it's a combination of it sometimes being harder to read, with the possible disadvantage that smaller displays already represent.

    For sure several of the issues are adjustable, but the point is also that they need adjustment.

    Yes, but this validates the fact that the OFF setting, as shown by Apple, was uncomfortable. Apple can leave it as is and let people figure out a different setting for themselves, like you did, or it might tweak things further to make it better by default.

    I'm sure you are certain of each and every thing.

    "2. under Settings > General > Accessibility you can:
    a) Enhance Text Legibility, which makes the text slightly thicker and more readable, without sacrificing the feel
    b) Enhance Background Contrast, making both icons and text stand out from the background
    c) Reduce Motion, making the (3D) layering effects much less noticeable"

    Ahh ... that really makes a difference, I'm sure. Did you select any of those?

    27" is massive, Patient. My screen is 24" and already magnifies these pics considerably. And not everyone is going to complain about these, of course. If they were unreadable we wouldn't be talking about them as they wouldn't exist to begin with - they're harder to read which is different. Uncomfortable.

    Except for the developer APIs and Xcode 5 they seem pretty minor changes.

    They'll have time to fix it, if they attention to the critics.

    Changing the background can alleviate part of it - but not all of it, as the problem recurs in places where the background is not configurable.

    It has been resized upwards - it favors it. And the phenomenon is the same which I saw with Microsoft Windows, it sucks.

    Also, I'm far from being the only person saying this. So it's clearly an issue. Apple doesn't need the controversy - it needs to fix this ASAP.

    It's not just the background - there are other instances, like the e-mails above and the frosted background which comes up with the settings. Those are probably not configurable and AAPL will have to change them.

    It's not just the regular background - I didn't have an example, but for instance the frosted background which comes up when you want to change settings has the same problem, and that's probably not configurable. The text on those e-mails is also probably not configurable.

    This is important in the context that it might synergize with the smaller displays (versus the competition).
