why is the default background color greenish blue now not blue (the highlights/logo is still blue), looked better blue background.

I dont like greenish blue background. =(
Blue background in previous version looks more professional and clean.

Rather than make the category icons smaller, I suggest eliminating them altogether - using only text labels. I don't feel the icons add anything to the text (and in some cases, I don't even find them illustrative of the category). Text labels only for the categories would be tidy, allow consistent width with the media icons below, and allow more content to be displayed.

OCD reaction to feedback? Yet some parts are an improvements.,So like previous beta versions, the Dev team have been good a incorporating feedback and the beta journey is not finished and appreciate their efforts, so looking forward to the refinements as they eventuateI could not disagree more. V.1 was disjointed, with disconnected interface elements all over the place, illogically organized - a main menu, an overemphasized find feature all alone at the top, a grab bag of icons at the bottom, with no logical connection to each other, and a handful of semi-comprehensible category icons off to the right. It is an engineer's interface, not a user's interface.

Everything looks exactly the same size to me in the latest nightly. The only change I spot is a bit less padding beneath the Categories label, so everything below it shifted up a few pixels.

Good idea.
