I actually do more in eve than spin my cynabal in a high sec safe spot. Black on black is preferred because so much of the screen is covered with windows that i want to have an idea of what is behind the windows without a semi or near opaque block of redundant colour there for 'immersion'.
Do not force people to have a ****** predefined colour scheme without something of an exact parallel to the current black/black.
As for the actual changes, they seem so spurious is hard to understand why bother changing them at all. Seems like you guys have a lot of other things to improve, not sure why a slight cosmetic change to the UI and shoehorning ****** schemes on us is a priority. |

Ok, having installed the test server to check, i can say that the windows are just re-skinned and have no meaningful difference in functionality.
Given CCPs tendency to make changes just for the sake of it, with no mind for functionality, this is a relief. |

Ok, on further inspection i have found the black/black theme which looks nice but my 2 concerns with the new UI re-skin are;
As a pvper, i much prefer function over form. While i understand the design choice, I want to be able to see brackets though my windows (perhaps as an option). Without this, the whole UI change is a typical ccp hatchet job aimed at appearance with no eye on function.
And when i select a window (specially if it is pinned) i dont want it to darken or be in any other way different to any of my other windows (i know which is the active window because i just clicked on it and i am not a complete ******* ******). Maybe just darken the title bar, but absolutely not the whole window.
These are two very important aspects of any UI change for me, and i would appreciate some sort of consideration to these as OPTIONS instead of just shoehorning a less functional, less usable UI on us in the name of glitz. |
