I like that there is less of the colors, definitely a step in the right direction.  I'm going to join the chorus of reduced font sizes.

The color adjustment is better. I agree with others here, we are all getting older but I don't think we are quite ready for that huge bold font that's just stabbing us in the eyes! I'd rather zoom in my screen if I absolutely had to...

The colors never bothered me.  I liked it better w/ the colors, but it sounds like I may be in the minority. 

I thought the issue is that they were too big/took up too much space, can only see 1 or sometimes 2 at a time.

Bob,

I did notice, and it is still too much for my taste.  I think that the pictures look out of focus when they are enlarged.  So they end up looking amateurish. With that being said it is a vast improvement.  A
