They pretty much are identical and blend into the gray background. In fact, at a glance I can't tell add, colors, or inspector apart.

Yep, the binder is a good example of a UI element that should never be monochrome, because of the amount of information its icons need to convey.

I know - I was outraged when I realised they wanted me to spend time learning how to drive before I could get my licence...<snip>... and one about chess, and one about using eBay, which just shows how all of those things need to be redesigned so that they have so few features that I could know everything about them without putting any effort into getting to know them.

I disagree about its 'depth' - it is apparently powerful, and I think useful or I wouldn't have bought it. I also don't know of any similar software that has externally-written reference material. Comparing it to Word or PhotoShop for complexity isn't something that I expect to survive scrutiny.

I don't think it's odd to have a menu item for the Ruler at all - just that it isn't located under the 'View' menu, given the control is a toggle for displaying (or viewing) it. As I wrote earlier, if you'd care to read it.
