Ouch...the color change looks cheap

This is the only complaint I have but it's kind of a big deal. It really turns me off. The colors look cheap, they look like they were designed for a girl. I like girls mind you but I would not be wrong in saying 95% of users are guys. It looks like Barbies playhouse. It looks like my 3 year old daughters room. I know, I know it has nothing to do with functionality but if I had a choice between buying an ugly car that ran great and a beautiful car that got me there I'd be tempted to pick the good looking one. There was nothing wrong with V4 colors at all. It's really just the timeline controls that are the problem. Please consider this Sony Guru's.

The new icons deliver a more consistent and professional look than the previous ones.

Consistent they may be, but consistent with a professional editing environment they're not.

Cheesehole - I think it depends on how you've got your overall Windows look setup.

On your screenshot, it does look ok (ish). I'm on classic mode but have all my greys set a lot darker, because I like it like that. This means the new icons contrast a lot more and look very bright, particulary the white faders and mute buttons. As RednRoll says, I don't want to - and shouldn't have to - change my overall look to make Vegas look right.

have you tried switching the "look" of XP from XP theme to "classic" ?
perhaps you'll find that more to you liking ...

Perhaps you have outgrown V ?? you have a feature coming up = you need a NLE that can edit your feature. this isn't like a marrigae where you have to go to court and get a divorce from Vegas .. nothing says one can't have 2 NLE's !!!! or 3 ...

Well I'm all for more customizability.
