for reference, the difference is this big:

the new colour being the cross, old is the background. That is pretty 
subtle if viewed alone, but if you have both next to each other they are 
very clearly different - and that is what happens if nobody is sure 
which to use.
This isn't just a test drive, this has been rolled out to the production 
phone images, so there is every chance that people will be seeing both 
next to each other. In fact, on the phone the HTML5 ui toolkit has not 
been updated, so HTML5 apps will pick up a different set of colours to 
QML apps, presumably because the team maintaining that toolkit (Michael 
Hall?) were not informed of the colour change!
