After starting a new game in 0.17.47 i get the old style message:

versus 0.17.45:

Don't know if this is intentional, but i like the .45 version of it

This is intentional, the fact that they changed in earlier version of 0.17 was due to technical restrictions meaning we had only one style available.
The black outlined style is exclusively for compilatron, so it is no longer used in freeplay.

Hm. I can't shake the feeling that the old one looks "less polished" though. Maybe it's just because i know that it is "old". I kinda liked how the new one was "wider" and had a seperate color for the <tab> key component to highlight that it's not part of the text. Also the dark color scheme had a less sharp contrast with with the surrounding ground tiles.

Font size? Contrast?

Its the contrast for me, it's an eyesore the new style.

especialy contrast combined with thin font is bad. maybe if letters were double thickness it would be better, but i still like 0.16 style more. it's much easier to read.
only downside of old style is, that you can't emphasize keys, like it is in white on black style.

Yea, the letters are really small in the new style. I think what bothers me most about the old one is the dark -> bright -> dark contrast. If the background (i.e. the world) was bright too (like in a pdf) i might've liked it better.
