The bookmarked page... the download ready icon... They used to glow blue to let you easily know there was something. Everyone is graying out the UI and I know it's the flavour of the decade, but it doesn't change the fact it sucks.
It's easier to parse quickly without even focusing on them. They are animated even, but without the contrast of colour even that is not evident at first sight.
It's always about substracting as opposed to giving choice. Colour of UI elements could be a part of a preferred theme, but nah...
Nowadays design really sucks, it's just copying what everyone else does. What's the difference between "☆" and "★"? They're both colorless stars, barely different.
