    i noticed that the applets in os2008 give less graphical info.
    i.e. the wireless applet do not reflect if there is connection or not.
    on the os2007 you could know if a bluetooth device was attached or your wireless connection status by just looking at the applets.

    Actually I think it provides the same info:

    If a Bluetooth connection is active then the Bluetooth symbol turns blue (rather then white).

    The network connection shows either a radiating phone (for phone connection), radiating waves (for connected Wifi), or is dimmed (for no connection).

    I actually like them also. I think they will fit in better with a variety of themes/backgrounds and don't look as "dated" IMO.

    +1 for the new icons
    a bit suprised mroe colour wasn't used - say for the wifi radiating bits but otherwise much nicer
