Please change the info windows back, or do something else with them. I dont object to many changes but this is just ridiculous. I said it in testing I'm saying it still, please please change it back.

With a big monitor its just too damn far apart. I shouldnt have to shrink my windows to see the info reliably without following the lines to the other side to make sure I'm looking at he right column. Who was the genius who thought this was a good idea?

I know, its a little thing. But its a damn annoying little thing. Please put a bit more thought into what you implement into the game instead of splooging broken crap at us all the time.

Call it subtle encouragement to use the compare tool.

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

That Seems Legit... Hate to say it dude, but your avatar looks like a vampire drag queen. Back on topic, i think the new info window is easier to read then the old.

Make align left or right for information panels something that can be configured in the options menu.

Problem solved.

Personally I think it was easier to read the way it was.

I also liked the old system more. New players will have hard times finding the right info. I really dont know what was wrong with the old one. Sad

New is better, they just need to implement a variation in background color.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

different coloured bars was suggested when testing, we were ignored. Even different shading just to tell the columns apart quicker.

In new system you have to walk your eyes left to right for every line, one column > two columns.

I have a 27" Monitor... They read just fine... Why is your info window stretched that large anyway? not like the previous layout needed it...

I think your just complaining for the sake of complaining.

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

I'm complaining because they made a part of the UI functionally worse than it was before. I dont see how having the numbers relevent to the information I seek further away than they used to be is an improvement. Can you honestly say this is an improvement over the old? It would have been such a simple thing to just shade the columns differently.
Almost everyone agreed during testing that we didnt like it. A small thing like this gets drowned out by things like impending marauder changes though. CCP are the ones that are all about fixing the little things right now. So concerns like this are completely valid.

Background shading would be nice but I'd still like to have option to chose which type we want to use.
Cmon CCP I know customizability is hard but this would really mean a lot to players.

I prefer it to the old style but it would be even more improved with something like background shading or mouse over highlighting.
