No big deal.  Icons can be changed easily (if you know how).

I'd agree with you if the OS forced you to have a slider and shrunk the
orignal icon, but that isn't the case.

One gripe I have though, is that I miss clicking on the upper right icon to    
cycle through the active applications.  Doing so now brings down a menu of the
active applications.  Is there any way to get the cycling action back?

I guess I'll live if there isn't...
