I don't like it either. It was changed a long time ago and then put back, so I am hoping they will do the same again. It's lost so much appeal with the change in blocks, its one of my favourite games but its not so great to play now
This sucks! Played for years, but won't anymore. The new design is childish and just clunky and ugly and hard on the eyes. Why mess with a good design? Why change what was perfectly fine? At the very least, you should be able to choose. Truly disappointed.
