I do not like the 3.0 update for various reasons, but there are 3 reasons I can not tolerate at all, in order from what needs to be fixed most urgently first:



1) After a couple seconds, all the choices in each column in the XMB disappear except for the currently highlighted item! When I am trying to decide which video I want to watch, which game I want to play, etc. I want to see all of the files in a list the way it was before FW 3.0. Please at least add an option to stop all the items in a list from disappearing, fading away, or becoming dim.



2) Get rid of the ugly gray boxes around everyone in my friends list. It looked perfect before. I like being able to see what everyone is playing at a glance, but the gray boxes ruined the whole thing in 3.0.



3) Add a way to disable the news ticker. I am using a modestly sized SD TV and it is eating up a big chunk of my screen! Plus it is annoying and distracting. You could disable the old orange info bar, so I am puzzled why they removed this option for the new news ticker.



Thank you for reading my pleas about these critical flaws in the FW 3.0 update.
