It s ugly. br br Sorry, I just want to put it out there. Having square buttons is a real step back in my opinion, when elegance comes from rounded off edges and soft gradients. br br When I logged in something clicked as wrong. The Connecting bar is now a rectangle, to conform to earlier ship fitting UI changes. SO THEY CHANGED THE SHIP FITTINGS UI and now they re trying to make the whole of Eve fall in line with this horrible graphics decision to make everything SHARP-EDGED. br br a href= http://www.siigarikitawa.com/images/newui.png target= _blank http://www.siigarikitawa.com/images/newui.png /a Here is a picture of the new UI.
You've got square boxes EVERYWHERE but tooltips and highlights are still rounded off.
CCP I strongly urge you to please revert to the rounded edges. They look nicer and more welcoming. I don't want more square boxes everywhere, they are intrusive and not attractive.
Also consider the VERY COOL light-effect you have on your UI -- it doesn't fit with square edges. It fits with round edges.
Anyway, I beg you to change it back. Please please please change it back.

Buttons?
Really?
Have you sunk so low?
Also, your title is misleading. Come back when CCP actually releases a non-"Microsoft Excel" UI. --- The Gate: Lol, try targeting me in a fleet fight. The Station: No U. |

I'm with Cygwin Gaad. It looked cleaner, sharper to me. I hate this whole apple soft/round thing everyone is doing in an attempt to mimic Apple.

Edited by: Catari Taga on 07/11/2009 05:06:37 Nothing soft about EVE, and the revamped UI element design reflects that. Much bad can be said about EVE's UI (or the lack thereof), but I very much like all the changes to it presently on SiSi, it's definitely going in the right direction.
The only thing I would change is to slightly reduce horizontal size of buttons, they are now a little bit too close together. No big deal though, only mentioning it since I'm posting anyway.

The new UI is a big step forward, in my opinion. Everything looks better.
The round buttons really look awkward with the current interface, I'm glad they changed them.
Eve really looks more professional and complete that way.

Loving it as well, I like the way they did the top buttons on the sovereignty window too nice and clean. _________________

hm, maybe they'll remove "very cool light effect" as well. never liked that thing. i prefer my UI to be flat and static, not with colors and animations, unless it provides information.

Yeah, the old UI was much better. The old UI was very smooth, elegant, and professional, while the new UI is just blocky, unrefined, and looks very dated. It's a big step back.
Please revert it.

they really ought to do a complete UI revamp. Make the UI have that Holographic look that the recent trailers have all had. __________________________________________________ All Glory to the Goat Gods! |

Personally I think rounded edges are ugly and cause all kinds of problems. Can't stand them in Win7 either.
Originally by: Siigari Kitawa When I logged in something clicked as wrong. The "Connecting" bar is now a rectangle, to conform to earlier ship fitting UI changes.
So what, nothing else in the UI was rounded. The windows weren't, the buttons weren't... nothing was. It was pretty much only the progress bar. Also caused graphical glitches. I always got to see a 1 pixel wide second bar below the progress bar.
Originally by: Siigari Kitawa You've got square boxes EVERYWHERE but tooltips and highlights are still rounded off.
Not 'still'. They are now - they weren't before. I think it's ok for tooltips. Makes it a bit more apparent that they are floating above the UI. No idea what you mean by highlights. If you're talking about the illumination effect on the window borders, than that's just a light source. It's not shaped at all.
Originally by: Siigari Kitawa CCP I strongly urge you to please revert to the rounded edges. They look nicer and more welcoming. I don't want more square boxes everywhere, they are intrusive and not attractive.
Intrusive? Uh? Riiiiight...
Originally by: Siigari Kitawa Also consider the VERY COOL light-effect you have on your UI -- it doesn't fit with square edges. It fits with round edges.
What are you talking about? The windows always had sharp edges. They were merely two pixels thicker in their 'unpinned' state.
The new look is a lot more 'timeless'. It's most definitely not perfect, but it's a lot better than before. I'm convinced they hired a new guy to do it - along with the mailwindow.

Not true. Tabs in windows on tranquillity are rounded. (Things like Chat tabs, Corp, Local, Alliance, so on) And in the market interface (Details, Groups, My Orders, Corp Orders, Settings) On sisi they are now all Squared.

Active tabs within windows have a Highlight on the top of their tab. This doesn't look nice at all with squared tabs.

Once again, we are talking about window tabs. Not the actual windows themselves. Window tabs stay rounded when pinned. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

A new photo of the direction they're taking the UI.
IN THIS ISSUE:
* New Evemail icon (THE OLD WAS FINE, IT WAS AN ICON FOR KILLBOARDS) * Spacer between portrait and name removed (WHY) * Windowshade reduced to one pixel edge around a window (LESS NICE?)

I really like the new icon and pretty much all the other changes too. If it was for people like you the UI would never change. And it needs changing a LOT. The old mail icon looked like something from windows 3.11
