Hello Everyone.

I am curious about the new UI style / design, first the neocom UI got redesigned with gray icons, and now the Character Sheet have been redesigned with the same gray Icons. Why did the Neocom and the Character sheet get this new gray icon redesign?, what is the intention of it?.

My Opinion.
The thing i liked the most. was the colorful icons that better represented the given "subject" you was looking for.
The thing i dislike the most, is the boring gray icons, it´s just a big mix of icons with the same color and get´s boring to look at really fast.

Am i the only one with this opinion?.

Best Regards.

trends, things move on and design changes to create a more pleasing and easier user experience, the old ui was old and dated. "minimal and flat" seems to be a thing

In relation to the character sheet, I'm sure there will be lots of opinions coming from people that didn't check it out on SiSi already.

As for the Neocom icons, no you aren't alone in your opinion. We had lots of threads on that too back when the change occurred.

As to why, I vaguely remember something from CCP about the new design being easier to read, plus they wanted to refresh the UI.

Not too many believe the readability thing. Something like that anyway.

Most of us just adapted and got used to it.

CCP changes the whole UI to have the same style. They change it part by part as time allows.

Whether monochromatic style is good or not CCP made their stance: in future we will have monochromatic UI. All hope is lost couple years ago.

Thanks for your replies, the reasons do make some sense, and i guess i am one of the people that just have to accept and adapt wether i want to or not.

tbh i wouldnt even consider the new neocom as readability issue, too much colour is a distraction to an area of the ui which doesnt to need be distracting

Yeah you're right. Wasn't readability issue so much at all:

I hate the new UI.
the Skill queue is LITTERED with boxes that spring up everywhere, everything is covered in pointless colours, and the skill names are a super dark grey, and ofcourse when highlighted, BOXXXXES

I see it really funny when CCP changes anything to no-colors and then introduces brown borders on some items.... Shocked

Something-something about simplicity and style Cool
