It wouldn't be the first time that the displayed 'default settings' are anything but... I have to admit, I didn't even notice that the window buttons are on the left, and not on the right where you usually can find them.

Re: the logo - yeah, it's a bit generic, and people aren't even sure what kind of font they've used, but I kinda like that it looks more modern, even though 'modern things' often run the risk of becoming outdated pretty fast. As for the color scheme, well, they haven't completely thrown the brown colors out of the window, but it doesn't look so old and 'dusty' anymore, which I like quite much.
