Just noticed that it isn't exactly white, it's translucent...as is the dock

I kind of like it. At first I thought I was seeing things.

Parallax effect aye. Well it was only a matter of time before they copied it from android or whatever. Anyway. Guess there's a update waiting for my ipad then.

Go into settings and disable background app refresh. That will ape your battery if left on.

What does that setting do Octane?

Thanks for the info but.
Turns out I had left my wifi turned from doing the download of ios7 and unfortunately it still doesn't show this on the home screen when you're not in wifi range and that's what killed the battery.

Background app refresh allows apps such as weather and stocks (and, other third party applications) to load/refresh automatically while they're not the focus on the screen.

Turning this setting off, preserves battery life.

When I said there was an update to iOS 7 coming shortly I thought it might have been even earlier than today.

My iPad tells me 7.0.2 is available.
