EVE Information Portal

i really like it. There are a few details i would like to be able to turn off. For example the opacity change on focus of the overview but overall its a great improvement.

there is something i wanted to propose for a long time but i would have gone unnoticed in the features and ideas forum. Dynamic growing windows. Lists like the overview or the dscan would be in special windows which would fade out everything in the table which is not a list row.

here a quick paint edit

the transitions between the window borders should be a lot nicer of course. its only what paint lets me do. With gimp it would be a gradient fade out. The window border could be indicated with thin lines on mouse over. (If there would be a way to serperate local-as-intel-tool and local-as-chat. The same could be applied on the local member list, since it is basically the overview window for the system you are in. I never use local for chat btw, only for intel)

Pretty!!

Now can we get more content?

Another thing:

I like the new design of the neocom. will take time getting used to it but I see that it makes sens.

I don't like the same design direction for station services. The reason is the following: The small pictures of the guy toiling in the repaishop, the factory, the clone bays, the scientists on their board, the bounty office ... all this adds life to the station (into which I cannot walk). It makes me connect a tiny bit to the big floating city I am docked at.

Turning theses into sterile buttons would be a shame and diminish that feeling.

Cheers, Chira.

PS: If Engine can do it, why not integrate service access points into hangar walls?

Very much this, please.

Stripping colors on icons to reduce search time is a great step forward, adding blur to everything else for the sake of making it 'look modern' feels like a step back.

First, great job. A much improved experience. Now thoughts:

Feel free to separate people and places and give them more appropriate icons. Also not sure we need an Agents tab anymore. The Agent Finder works better for that purpose, though there will be someone, of course, who disagrees.

Please stick to a consistent header color for inline grids (fitting versus attributes on the item tabs).

I'm loving the new themes, though I might pick a different pair of Minmatar colors. The darker one is okay, but the lighter one was a bit eye-straining.

The ISIS icon is clearly missing and should be repaired. Any change coming given that ISIS has new meaning in the world?

Hey CCP..

While you're working on the whole UI thing, this would be a GREAT time to fix the annoying Incursion Local issue. That is, when if you log in to an Incursion system, it spawns the Incursion Local window first, resizing all other chat windows down there to the small "default" size rather than the normal size you want them to be. And yes, I know this is a fair tangent from just changing the look of the UI, but bug reports get no where as it's working as intended, and it never gets a response in the little things threads.

Slightly related. Training Queue. Just let us leave it opened in grouped like all the other tabs. Char sheet, Market, Wallet, etc all can be grouped into one window and left open all the time, even across sessions.. but not the training, that one you need to open each and every session. It's rather annoying :/


Not that that's over with. I've played with it a bit on Sisi.

The Black theme, and the Gal theme are awesome starts. But there are some issues. As I mentioned before, highlighting the active Overview gets distracting, fast. Similarly, having the chatrooms get the highlight, and worse yet the blink.. It's too much. It needs to be either toned down on how bring they are, how fast the active room blinks, or have a different appearance.

Next issue is station services.. I'll ignore the missing icon, as I assume it's just a bug/not there yet lol. But the highlight when you mouse over can be a little much there too, especially on the LP Store.. It just becomes a big glowing bulb.. I think the glow just needs to be dialed back a little.

I'm sure I'll find more but in general, I like it.

If there's no full user customization for BOTH, colors and transparency, this will be useless to me as a change. I have my current setup like it is for a reason, if I can't recreate it with this new one, that's it, I'm gone.

(Hint: it's do with eyesight)

Isis is the old egyptian mother goddess functioning as the goddess of birth, magic and protection, wife to Osiris and twin to Nephtys.



Colourblind mode? Though it really depends on the sight disability. A single mode hardly does the potential malfunctions of such a complex thing as the human eye justice.

I haven't yet tried the changes on SISI but I'm really liking what you've shown on the Dev Blog.

To give you a greater sense of being in different ships, I would like the look of the interface to morph slightly depending on which ship you're in. Each faction could have their own ship control panel and their own styling of buttons and other UI elements.

On first blush, I don't see much difference. This is not to detract from your obvious effort, but the changes are indeed subtle at best so people complaining should take a second look.

Honestly, if you're talking about an overhaul of the UI, you should be looking at the functionality, not necessarily the skin. The skin is one aspect, but it should be easily configurable and built upon a framework of useability. One of the things that irks me a lot about the interface is the clutter. Pilots would be served by allowing UI reduction, declutter, and more customization.

If all you're on about is a re-skin of the existing UI, then go with flat like Apple and Microsoft and other UI experts have done, and call it a day.
