I don`t know about the rest of the Crackberry Nation but I am okay with the current app icons in BB10 except for the Contacts, Blackberry World and Browser.

As well I found the icon for voice control if you have not see it.

What is wrong with the Contacts, BB World and Browser Icons?

I think people would find the icons exactly as they are now, less ugly if that grey box around the icon dissapeard.

I know I would... but I don't think the grey boxes will be there. they are not there on the playbook....

I actually think the grey boxes are quite useful, on a dark background they are hardly noticeable and don't give you much benefit, but on a lighter background they really help the icon text to stand out so much better and the only tweak I would make to them would be to trim them down a bit to provide more of a gap between each icon which would improve things when you were moving them around.

RIM should be providing an option to enable/disable that background around the icons. Choice is always good.

I don`t know but for the Blackberry World App It just seems kind of glum. I think it it might be because all of the other icons have some colour to them. As well I hope that they get rid of the box around the icons too!

I agree with liking the shaded box behind the icons. Busy wallpapers would make the icon lables impossible to read without them. I think rounding them off and using a gradient is much better than what they started with.
