But what if I like post-processing for other effects? Anyway, I'm less concerned about the transparency (though I still feel it needs a toggle) and can we at least get a "dark" theme? I play in low light conditions often, and I don't want bright colors distracting me. Just one simple black and grey theme like the current UI would be greatly appreciated. Please CCP, I resubbed because everything else planned looks really cool, don't force this on your players without letting them stay cozy with a theme similar to the current one.

Keep up the good work, I'm really excited for the new changes.

I just read this devblog and all I took away from it was "we're taking away the RGB sliders". Literally can't remember anything else it said, and don't care.

- Break everything down into two colors
- Don't give us control of the colors

hello, after having a quick look at the new UI in singularity, I adapted to the new icons quite quickly and am sure many other will to, after all their just different pictues, however if there was an option or if it was permanent tha each different icon could be made a certain single colour, or they all had designated colours, it would make it so much faster and easier (at least for me) to quickly go straight to the icon I want. as colour is easy to use as a representative.

the new 'square' style of UI looks modernised and clean. well done :).

im quite new to eve and have only ecently got used to the current UI, however I welcome changes like this as it feel like the game is progressing and not getting stale like many many other games do.

fly safe all, o7

Hey.
Forgive me if this is a bit rambly but I should have gone to bed by now...
I was just about to, when I had an idea that seemed very relevant to this thread.

Firstly, make an option to save the current window state, by which I mean window size, position, currently open windows and their states, etc. Either give us a few slots for it or just let us save to xml or something so we can easily switch. This part of the idea isn't vital but would make it easier to use.

The main idea is this: let us log into the same character with multiple clients at the same time.

This way we could have multiple client windows open, each for the same character, with different content. The server would process input from any of them but only one at once; otherwise all would be as usual.
That would be a rather easy way to let us have chat open on screen 1, maybe a market window open on a laptop, another view on screen 2, a zoomed out tactical view on screen 3...

Anyways, just an idle 4am ui related thought from me. Seems like the easiest way of doing the multiple window thing without too much coding really being needed.

Now I'm more awake I will add my comments on the actual changes proposed here.

- Not bad changes by any means but if you were wanting it to stop looking like an operating system you do need to go a bit further.
Others have made suggestions in this thread as to how a ui skin might be adjusted to do this by chopping off a corner or something like that.

- The transparency needs to be fully customisable, but I think you already have plans to do that. I would say go further and suggest you listen to those suggesting that there should be a "toggle transparency" button next to the pin button - and make it so that pinning doesn't affect transparency at all.

- The blur needs to be an option - and by that I mean an option by itself, one that isn't tied to a more general graphics option.
If someone wants to still be able to clearly see what's behind the interface they should have the option to make the interface properly transparent without blur without having to turn down graphics.
Seriously, EVE has desperately needed more granular graphics options for years now and adding new features without considering this is annoying.

- Let us fully customise our colour scheme unless there's a very very good reason for us not being able to do so. If there is, tell us what it is before making this change live or there will be threadnaughts and complaints.

- Regarding the icons, most of them are ok.. the people & places icon in particular should be changed to something approximating the current one which is a magnifying glass over a group of people and the star map icon. It's too easily confused with the journal icon in its current state. The industry icon would be better if it was a robot arm holding a cog or something like that rather than an old fashioned factory.

It is, if you don't have the "lock windows when pinned" option enabled.
If you do, then you have one button that both locks the window and turns it transparent.
I just think it'd be nice to have the option to do both actions individually rather than forcing them both to operate together.

The blur effect is annoying, please keep it as current

Its not completely related, but please, give the station menu the top bar back, so it can be minimized in view again, thx.

I really like the update to the "visual" side of the UI...no complaints here. But, what about the "audio" side of the UI? Why is it, after all these years, we still cannot have the ability to turn on audio clues. Every other ship in any sci fi setting has the ability to go "beep beep" when a new contact is detected--or "whoop whoop" when an enemy ship warps in.

We have audible cues for nearly everything in this game, but when a red pops into our overview---silence. It's a ridiculous, artificial limitation and one that is so very easily corrected.

For god's sake, give us the ability to assign different audio cues to different new contacts in our overview. Out.

Just want to say that they added a "transparency" slider that will get you rid of transparency, blur, and everything. I am happy now.
