I used to know where they were on the screen. I thought the organization of the settings was well.Now i feel like im looking at huge drop down's and my setting is hidden somewhere in the list of options.I feel like every option screen looks the same. Overall i feel like this is a regress in functionality.Im pretty experienced with the settings, but if i was a new user this setup would be frustrating to find anything.I dont know is this dependent on the theme?

I agree! In my derogatotry way I have used the words “mobile phone set” to describe UI choices, but two important items:.

1) The developers work on things and in ways that gives them satisfaction.
2) Do most users think this is kewl, or they prefer the old UI?
