EVE Information Portal

New UI feedback:

1. Repeated flashing from changing window focus is extremely annoying, and there's no way to disable it.

With ~100 orders on the market I change focus ~300 times to update all of them (wallet, then market to look at competing orders, then modify order window to change mine, then back to the wallet for the next order). The flashing is really really really really really really bad.

I called this out when the new UI was first announced, but it seems nobody was listening.

2. Setting transparency to 0 does not actually make the windows entirely opaque if Window Blur is still enabled.

Replication steps:
- Turn transparency to 0 with window blur enabled.
- Notice that windows are still not entirely opaque.

This would be a minor annoyance if disabling window blur made things clean and flat, but unfortunately...

3. Disabling window blur makes the random static in the backgrounds of windows way more noticeable. Whoever thought random static was a good idea should be reassigned as far away from the UI team as possible.

Replication steps:
- Turn transparency to 0 with window blur disabled.
- Open your inventory and resize the window to fill the entire screen.
- Watch as the static slowly drives you mad.

All in all this update has made the Eve UI significantly more painful for me.

+1

I'm laughing and QQing at the same time.

Since it seems like you have taken your inspiration from most of the mainstream user interfaces it can only
be hoped that you will also feel enlightened by the amount of customization each of these mainstream
interfaces allows, ie such trifling little things like font sizes, what colors to use for different types of text
and highlights, what backgrounds to use etc.

Given CCP's track record in allowing customization i won't hold my breath though, at least some of the presets
look enough like what i used to that i will no doubt get sued to it even though i will get a crick in my neck
from having to lean towards the screen every time i need to actually read omething.

The one issue that i doubt i will ever feel comfortable with though is the way that windows go all Xmas on LSD
whenever the focus changes, as long as you got a few small windows out on the edges no big deal, once you
have wallet/market covering most of the screen and order window and maybe an info window or two it
definitely looks more like a light show than a functioning UI.

New ship rendering from the ships i have seen looks a little on the bright and shiny side but also clearer
some colors change(RIP my old red gallente shuttle ) but nothing that i feel to strongly about one
way or another.

Drone hit points once again visible in drone bay has to be one of my favourite small changes in a long time.

The new map is obviously still a work in progress but it definitely looks promising.

Manual flight control, seems like it is easier to do sharp turns using the keyboard than without and given
EvE's 1 second ticks it is surprisingly reponsive but then again that might just be the client smoothing the edges ?

All in all a few things positive/negative and most of it solid not to exciting but working as intended

I'd really love it if you could do UI color schemes based off the ship manufacturer (i.e. duvolle labs, or whatever) as well as/instead of just the ship races.

Confirming this. Must be a bug. Workaround may be to push back maximizing window until after login, but not good nonetheless...

Edit 1: Apart from that, things look pretty good. I for one like the new looks - icons transparency etc. If the Neocom icons look too small, you can make it broader by dragging, and the icons wil scale nicely. The flashing windows I could do without, and likewise the marked dimming of the background when a dialogue box opens. Both are distracting attention away from matters at hand, and not really needed. My Crane looks nicer than before, but could do with a bit of grit and grime, it is after all an old ship (more than 12 months I figure). And I like manual flying. Altogether very positive about Rhea so far.

"The more specific you can be about what you like or don't, the better. General comments help a little but specific ones help a lot. Bonus points for screenshots if you're describing a particular feature or behavior."

Just FORGET the new UI.

It was a mistake. anyone can make mistake. the problem is not to admit it.

Its ******* look like a very basic file browser. Not like a game.

Its ugly as hell.

Just bring eve back please.

I'm so mad the buttons changed from amorphous blobs to clearly defined, sharp and modern icons.
I'm unsubbing my 32,768 accounts.

It's ok m8)) I changed it to the Minmatar theme

Love all of the changes apart from the ship skins.

I can see what you're trying to achieve but my Minmatar ships are more "plastic" than "rust".

Darker and dirtier please

Because it's new. That's the simple answer here. CCP made changes and many people are not able to deal with changes. Text like here in this post/thread is also looking the same all the time but when you start to read it it becomes sense. Same with the icons. Get familar with them how you got familar with the old icons. If someone would completely change your GUI layout you would feel lost in the first minutes. Using a GUI is becoming intuitive when you get used to it like knowing where menues are. Finally you use icons blindly because of how you placed them. Beside that people have a different taste for design. Fair enough. I swear if we had the new icons before and now the old ones we end up in a similar thread and people want the former ones back.
