The change is a large improvement. I do agree with those that have said that a few more color options would be nice, particularly less colorized ones. But overall it is a big improvement. The current UI looks incredibly dated (especially the icons) and this is a significant improvement.

Don't let people's old school comfort make you hesitate to improve the game in ways like this, CCP.

This is a distractive AND useless element, so graphicaly, objectivly and professionally, you can't make a bigger mistake in graphic design.

I've been testing the new UI and most of it is unreadable to me in most circunstances.

I suffer a visual impairment caused by macular degeneration, and I have a strong need of a solid color background behind text as my contrast and angular resolution are quite poor. Telling the text apart from the background is difficult and even imposible to me unless the background provides a stark homogeneous contrast.

From the options on Sisi, the "Black" Ui design is the most readable, but it becomes very stressful in space (I am talking about focused windows), even when there's no nebula in the sky (FAI, against a planet's shadow). Non-focused windows, welI, I can't even see whether there is text in them or don't... that probably will make difficult to keep track of the active chat channel.

Please I beg you to allow an option to disable completely transparency and replace with solid color backgrounds with zero transparency.

As I see the issue, the ultimate reason of User Interfaces is to be Used, and in its current state I will not be able to use the new UI and thus it will be very difficult to play the game.

Yes, I agree. This is a nice step in modernization.
Do not drop it CPP.

I agree, the gradient adds nothing. It just muddles the icons. I also think the icons are too sharp-edged. I pulled some icons off of a free icons website for comparison. No gradients and more rounded shapes.

It looks like an LCD monitor with lowered resolution. Or one connected via VGA cable and not properly adjusted.
It feels like eyes oozing out.
It makes me want to strap the person who drew those icons to a chair, put matches in his eyes so they won't close and make him WATCH what he has done.

lol. Too anti-aliased I guess. The website didn't give the icons in vector format and I had to shrink them down a bit.

I can see how rounded icons can end up looking a little Fisher Price but the super-squared-edged icons look cheap to me.

It doesn't help in anything and it is all opposite to what "modern" is and mean.
Modern is simplicity, plain and epurate shapes, fonts, colors and surfaces.
These corners couldn't in fact be more old fashionned.

But first of all, it simply doesn't blend well in the whole UI, conflicting with other UI elements like tabs, just in exemple, and, worse than that, conflicting with the content.

It is distractive as hell, attracting the eyes where they should in fact never look.

A good UI is at the service of the content. It shouldn't be conflicting with the content, never.

Change.. I like change!

However.. i feel that the changes proposed on singularity as significant and large changes aren't that big or much of a change. Feels more like a change of skin and ikons rather than a big change to something different that I was hoping for.

The UI has a heavy feeling of not wanting to make people upset and afraid of change rather than new and fresh. If this is the end result I think this would be an missed oportunity for great change and new look and feel of EVE.

I like that it was changed but it feels like alot of it could have already been done in settings to some extent.

The moodboard that was shown is a great goal to reach and get inspiration from. However i feel that it could have been utilized more and with more fantasy in the features incorporated into the UI. Together with idea creation methods to think outside the box!

The UI i watched in singularity looked and felt like a try to make it look like the UI from freelancer.


Roll out a complete new UI that will define the visual direction for EVE UI in the coming years - I'm hoping the moodboard is the this new UI direction.

Less operating system, more Sci-Fi, and militaristic looking UI - I still feel like that the UI looks and feels like an operating system. However like a moved from windows 3.1 to windows vista.

Functionality and usability should feel modern and intuitive
Have the UI complement the beautiful New Eden view, instead of blocking it. - Still feels boxy and not modern too achieve this with this direction. Can there be an way to have information floating in space without boxes or limiting space?

Better consistency between UI control look and feel. - Still too much distance between the UI for modules and in space stuff and the boxy feeling of everything else. I think that a more rounded i.e loose the sharp edges of the boxes and create some breaking of that boxy feeling.

Use colors in a sensible way. - Reasonably achieved.

Simpler, and more recognizable icons with a clear distinction between icons that represent items vs icons that represent UI controls and labels. - This I feel has been achieved and makes it easier to know what different ikons mean and do. Nice!

I was mistaken

Those new mono icons are far better than old ones

My mind was lied with convinction than color is better, but i see now when i log and think about it.

For those not convinced: give them more time, You will see they are better
