EVE Information Portal

This does seem like a general trend towards managing end user experiences rather than handing over control to the players.

Yup, that fixed it. Thanks.

Poking around...

I still think the Neocom would look a lot better if the background matched the other windows, but it looks better in-game than in the screenshot.

That's really the only criticism I have; I like the new look a lot. Especially the translucent windows. They look cool, and (more importantly) they don't make me feel like I'm missing out on stuff by having the windows pinned.

and its a dumb trend. Its great that the UI is being worked on but CCP please dont remove the ability to make a personal choice on color scheme. I dont like any of the new 'simple theme' selection 'faction themes'

I use a customized black and transperant theme on my characters and its great.

I don't want my user experience 'managed' I want the choice to customize based on my personal preference using the existing sliders.

In some of the old cinematic trailers you had these awesome interface components that people at the time very much wanted to see in the actual interface. Has that been given some thought or was it considered unworkable?

I agree with the monochrome aspect of the fixed interface elements. My own fruit computer uses these and it does make sense from the point of view of accessibility. You don't want a rainbow of colors to distract you from accessing the feature you need.

I'm not sure about the glowing interface. It does resemble a sci-fi theme but it's like an 80s sci-fi theme. Make it more like the original Alien movie maybe?

I'll take about anything that's clearly defined, easily recognisable and sufficiently gorgeous.

I'm much more interested in having the interface better serve the purpose of the feature it is intended to support. The corporation interface for instance...

Is there a way to make things like the market interface look and work better?

Is there a way to make a heat map of where ones assets are stored where a more intense color is an expression of more / more expensive assets being stored there?

Can the medals interface be brought to at least the 1980s? I'd much prefer the entirety of the interface to have the same look and feel. The awesome fitting interface feels odd next to the wallet / corporation / asset interface. I'm pretty sure there are ways to better represent that information and make it much more beautiful at the same time.

Let my own preferences not stand in the way of appreciating all the hard work you put into making EVE a much nicer place to live.

Thank you for all your hard work.

I'd prefer to see hi-con palettes, rather than pastels. This is an user-interface, not artwork for a film effect. Fully-saturated colors on black are much more visible and easy to read, compared to muted colors over grey.

Soft-edges and blurry objects - very, very bad idea. It puts a strain on the eyes, since the eyes continually and unsuccessfully try to focus on the blurry objects on the plane of the display. Sure, it is ok for a few seconds and looks cool, but try to watch it for an hour or two.

Transparency effects - generally bad. It puts more demand on the GPU, for not much payback. Again, looks cool, but not practical - no one I know wants their Excel spreadsheets to be partially transparent, so they can see their background screen image through it, while they are working.

As a rule, beautiful and cool-looking UIs are rarely practical. Please restrict art to the ships and backgrounds, and don't try to apply it to the UI.

I dunno. Maybe because I think like an artist but I went into that devblog all giddy and excited expecting stuff like this:

I can understand why people like it, nothing has really changed other then eliminating a few redundant bits and adding a bit more color (which we can already do in the 'esc' menu). IMO, it looks more like a trimming down and highlighting of function over form of our current UI with nothing really "new" to the look.

But, like I said, just this one guy's opinion.

The devs must be starting to read the suggestions from 10 years ago and applying them today, either way I support their efforts to clean up the U.I..

Anyone else notice the station services panel / window on SiSi is missing??? I'm in an outpost if that helps =)

Got another complaint since playing on Sisi.

The fact that windows that are pinned as transparent, don't stay that way when selected. I mean that can make some sense with Chat, Character Info, etc.. but it's REALLY annoying with Selected Item, Overview, Drones, and Active Ship (cargo).

Either changing it back to work like it does now, or adding a second button.. One to Pin, and one to make transparent. Or even a 3 way pinned toggle. (Unpinned, Pinned - Transparent when not selected, Pinned - Transparent Always)..

for years I have run
* 100% transparency
* Local by itself on the far right
* Overview overlapping the bottom X of local chat - only used in Jita and such, so a waste of my eyes
* target icons positioned above my ship UI so bottom half of the screen
not sure how this will be impacted

maybe there should be a UI tutorial? to show the options, a few took me years to find
