iOS 7 is here and, while a whole lot of people seem to really enjoy it, there's a whole bunch who think it's pretty ugly
But there may be a relatively easy fix!
One tip if you're not happy with iOS 7's look: change your wallpaper. Walls that worked with iOS 1-6 don't w/the new icons. Try a refresh.

Apple's dynamic backgrounds aren't too bad though
There's also plenty of websites like Blrrr, where you can download iOS 7-specific backgrounds
Everyone's different, but to take full advantage of iOS 7's newest frosted layering, it often works to choose a background with multiple blended colors

Simple, colorful images work well too. I've been using this one for a few months.
Whatever you do, be sure to play around a bit. iOS 7 may still not be for you, but it may be worth a second look.
