Anyway, that system had its charm before the complete change came with the seven :) The current 14 is terrible for me with those dots for each desktop on the main screen.. how did they create that mega gap there.. it unnecessarily reduces the font of the icons on the desktop.
For me, the best and most sophisticated system was with Iphonem 4 therefore IOS 4 then still possible ios 6 but from 7 onwards it was downhill :)
I would be interested in knowing if there would be a possibility to change the appearance, for example, to IOS 6 how many people would use it. Many users prefer a cleaner look which IOS 6 was for me.
Many...me too
