What's with the new Bluetooth batery bar. It is so UGLY!?!?!?!?

I wonder who came up with that.

It's in the Keyboard and Mouse System Preference, in the Bluetooth Pane.

Does anyone else agree that this is the wierdest thing in OS X so far?

Don't panic lads I've called the Design Police and they'll be straight round once they've finished sorting out Windows XP.

They turn amber as in the photo when the battery gets lower. Eventually, they turn red. Again - I don't know who went and messed up this part of the GUI but it stinks.

BKB, are you using the Apple mouse?

Why don't I have an 'Allow Bluetooth Devices to Wake this computer?' list like you do?

I have a 15" Al Book 1.25 gHz.

Yes, I'm using the Apple BT Mouse. You need to run the firmware update, available here

Huge improvement once you install it.
