Wanted to down vote this reply but it won't let me. so here is a comment that downvotes this answer. This drastic change is terrible for all the reasons people hav given in this forum thread. It will mean weeks of work for me to find a solution or change all the graphics in my app to accommodate the new look. in the mean time it will break the app for any user who upgrades to 18. Thanks Apple!! where's the common sense? allow developers time to implement the changes.
