So this is a minor complaint, but am I the only one that thinks the wifi icon is too thin? On my 13" rMBP set to 1680x1050 I often have to do a doubletake to see whether I have 5 bars or zero bars because the "on" state is so thin it almost makes it look greyed out when it is not. Anyone else feel the same?

I've only just installed last night so I've only seen it with 5 bars on inside my house, I guess I'll get used to it. The new font is already growing on my, though initially it felt quite weird.
 
I agree looks very thin. However you do get use to it after a few days. Also if your using a retina the font look amazing. I prefer it much more than the font in Mavericks.
 
That was also my first thought, but think we get used to it - you know when you have seen it with zero bars. Although the bars even look thinner than on iOS - think they should change to three bars like on iOS, and then make them a bit thicker...
 
They're thin even on a non-retina display. Since I'm usually connected to a strong network, I had to click to see the neighbors' networks to know what the empty bars looked like in Yosemite.
