the blue UI is not usable for me. It makes too many features pop out screaming for attention
and makes things more complicated where it should make the simpler.
stopwatch- is brighter then other blue elements - why? once you know it's there you don't really need
to look at it so much. not like transformation values for instance.

is the stopwatch more important than the values?
too much contrast in the toggle and checkmark windows (swatches, parent column etc.)

the contrast in the swatches, A/V features and other boxes makes everything sharp and detailed making it hard to focus.
the swatches and other check mark boxes are much more contrasty . it just makes everything to sharp and distracting while you work

too many colors instead of simplifying things and toning down the mess.
now everything is highlighted making it actually hard to focus because there are too many details.
instead of focusing on the graph editor, my eyes go to every other detail:
stopwatch icon, work area bar. the highlighted graph editor switch.....

now I can focus on the graph editor and transformations.
I find that if I make the interface a bit lighter it's a bit better. but still very annoying.
this is the contrasty version

YIKES - especially the position values. not that clear and readable. the stopwatch
on the other hand is screaming for attention. why? its not that important once
you know its there.
brighter version

a bit better on the position values. the contrast is lower on other parts so things like the stopwatch and timeline bar
don't scream so much
