Things change. Adapt or die.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I feel like this should be repeated, sometimes in the enhanced form, until CCP scraps this current New UI idea and make a better, coloured one.

I won't give a vote. I both like and dislike the UI for various reasons. I don't dislike it enough to remove it completely, just adapt it with the old skin a little more.

Why would you want them to spend resources maintaining two systems indefinitely? After a short intro period the old system should be removed entirely, assuming it is actually good.

Please name one major brand that gives people the option to choose which UI to choose. Google, Apple and Microsoft sure don't.

There's a rule in all development, called version control. You can revert from anywhere to anywhere. (Might be a pain in the arse but it's supposed to be possible)

Thing is, the UI isn't broken and resistance to change is not going to make CCP fix anything. If there's a big backlash they might consider changes if there are legitimate complaints, but right now your complaint is simply "I don't like it".

"Waaaaaaah, I don't like it" isn't helping anything. If you want to improve the UI, go test it and post your thoughts and concerns in the feedback thread. Or post your thoughts on what needs to be improved in the current UI.

If you're not willing to do that, sit down and STFU - it's like people who don't vote complaining about elected officials.

You all win... FORWARD!!! into the fires of hell!, mass human wave assault into the field of glorious machinegun fire and artillery, fear not, care not... Charge the blockhouse!!!

... but I must point out to icons without color are better remembered? - but no one under 35 can remember **** anyway, so how is that a valid study.

iDead and iZombie studies do not apply.

... and yes, no major brands give you options, that is why 1. people universally loath them, but 2. people want to be abused and so they accept anything just to feel alive again.

We shall, adapt, we shall die... I just hope most of it comes in the form of WTF CCP I went to do this and the F****** UI didn't work right... to which the correct reply will and should rightly be: our logs show nothing. \o/!

You've got a serious problem you know?!
Get out, go take a deep breath outside and calm down.
Stop whining and mixing all and everything altogether.

To resume:
Use your brain, write some constructive criticism or STFU!

I thought the new UI asthetics were just a transition while the UI repurposing was still on the assembly line. Wierd.

Either way, how bad can it be? It looked cool in those screenshots!

The Incarna crap happened. Most of us were there for it.

We shall see what the future holds with this new UI. I hope they keep the option to use black/darker colors for backgrounds. Not really sure how I feel about blue or neon green.

But eh, I'll live.

No, post feedback on it if you don't like it. It's not hard to get used to a new UI.

Citation needed.


This option is left open to the developers, not the users.

The other rule in development is don't maintain multiple codebases without a damn good reason.
