I'm afraid, I do agree with the statements above. The original (flat) design (e.g. the dash on the volume knob instead of the dot) was nicely done and more consistent. In my very personal view, there's not much purpose in mimicking a shiny 3D surface on a flat display which is on most of the tablets, smartphones etc. shiny itself - it's just distracts and makes the items more difficult to read or use. I think this was introduced with the RuneUI Enhancement (which brought - together with the Add-on menu - some really good enhancements) but design-wise I always thought it was a step backwards.
It would be nice at least, if people (like me) who do not like this sort of gimmickry could switch it off without loosing all the technical or functional improvements.
Sorry for being outspoken on this point - I do however very much appreciate the hard work and the constant support by the current and very dedicated developer team (janui, rern and others), so I do hope that comments like mine do not put them off in any way but are just taken as a user's comment (which may or not be shared by others) meant to make RuneAudio even better!
