XE6 - New Look and Feel

One of the first things long time Delphi Developers may notice about XE6 is that it has new look and feel.

One thing I have learned over the years is that when you change the user interface in any way you will get a divergent number of opinions.    My opinion of this change is simple:   I like it.

I have made two similar screenshots of XE5 and XE6, so you can compare the differences.

  1. Imho they should have changed for look of the forms in the form designer aswell (at least the VCL one but I don't like the ugly black bordered FMX ones either) - they still look like on Windows 7.
    When I run Delphi on Windows 8 I would like the forms in the designer look like forms on Windows 8 do and not as they do on Windows 7.

  2. Can't really see how it's changed other than a new icon set (albeit an exceptional one which I also use):
