At first I had the same feeling as your friend; I couldn't find anything... But it took me only 2 days to get used to the new look, and it is much more logical. And now, when I switch back to the old look (on my old PC, I still have 2.54) , I cant' find anything there.... so... he needs to give himself a few days, he'll be used to it and doesn't want anything else after
PS: you could've named the thread a bit more to the point though: "New look of Plus!"
ermmm... in fact, you still can...
