Overall design from iOS 7Change to flat designAs it was done, it became difficult to understand whether some of the icons were plain text or tapable icons. In order to solve this problem, the option "form of button" is newly added to "General" → "Accessibility" of the setting application in iOS 7.1. When this is turned on, icons and text can be easily distinguished from each other I will.


For "Increase Contrast" in "Accessibility", options such as "lower transparency", "make color deeper", "lower white point" were newly added.


However, when this "lower transparency" is turned on, attention is required because the dock portion at the bottom of the home screen may become gray.


In addition to "Accessibility", the option "thicken text" has been added, so if you thicken the text, the font will become bold in other applications. However, rebooting is necessary to turn on "thicken text".

The keyboard also has some icon coloring change.


Furthermore, in the month display of the calendar application, it is now possible to display the event list for the day at the bottom of the screen.
