I will gladly wait a week or two more if you say you intend to introduce a solution. But if you dont, please be honest and say so because then i can stop it right here i do not need to wait any further.

The word performance didn't come up once in the dev blog, sets the tone nicely in typical CCP fashion.

Let me be clear with you, EVE UI performance is poor already to say the least. FPS aside, just try opening a window or changing to a different tab while in mid warp; observe how the game freezes for a split second while the change is taking place. If you have the FPS counter up you can clearly see a dip every time the interface is manipulated, this is really unacceptable in 2014.

It's like the whole deal is single threaded and rendering has to stop every time the UI does something.

If anything, fix that before you start polishing on anything; you can't put lipstick on a pig.

I hate mouses with bobbing wheel.

I'm working on an animation of this suggestion.

---

The market tree needs to be interactable with a modifier key and the scroll wheel. This isolates the item tree and keeps it compressed, saving the viewport while also being more intuitive.

While the market modifier key is pressed, open the market tree at the top level.

With the modifier key still pressed, let the scroll wheel navigate up and down the tree, until the left mouse button is clicked, which opens that tree item. These inputs should "take" no matter where on the screen the cursor was prior to the market modifier key being pressed.

Once an item is selected, expand that tree and collapse the rest of the market items, with nothing below the tree.

At each step, left clicking on the category heading without scrolling navigates up the tree one level. ALT+Left arrow and Backspace (the browser "Back" shortcut can also navigate up the tree one level).

Remove the market tree when the market modifier key is released.

This enables the player to manipulate the market tree without moving their mouse, and return to controlling the cursor in place after releasing the market modifier key. It's time saved, mouse travel reduced, simple.

Holding shift before left clicking could bring up a separate market price window. pressing the market modifier key again should open back to the same place in the tree as the last time. pressing the market modifier key twice in rapid succession could reset the tree to the topmost level.

the price window should remember its position and remain detached from the item tree. the market item tree should also be move-able to wherever the player desires, and remember its position.

I realize not every mouse supports mouse scroll wheel left and right, or mouse scroll wheel press. There would be several options for navigating back: ALT+Left Arrow, Backspace, scroll up and left-click, mouse wheel left, and double tap market modifier key.

lol. "personal vision" is a compliment m8. so is most of your post. the rest is typical disagreement, so thanks.

and no, I'm not a UI designer. I'm a player, with up to 10 clients in my face, and I know what would save me a lot of time and be an improvement over right-clicking things, and obscuring my clients with huge clunky tables.

here's the first part of the animation suggestion. It takes a long time to do these, so I may not be able to finish the rest of it.

Basically, part II would show the item price window opening in a separate table, along with the normal shift+click behavior.

well there's a name I haven't seen in a while. Hey there.

The patch notes, so no RGB sliders, no better themes... Well, I don't know if I should wait one another month as there were some holidays after all, or if I should consider that they don't care as usual...

I guess I should continue to NOT recommend the game to anyone as usual. I don't understand how CCP can be so consistent about doing bad work. There is no valid reason who can justify the removal of UI customization into a game, especialy if it is a feature who permitted to contentate nearly everyone.

Unless they hate the players. Wait, it sounds logical in fact...

My guess is that CCP thinks that the UI is just like a red wine and becomes better by itself when they just wait long enough...

I use to be able to make a specific window solidor not by clicking or unclicking the PIN button. Why did you take abilities AWAY from us?

I have not read all 700+ replies so I apologize if this is a dup..

Many of the complaints I have read could be solved if the UI would allow us to drag windows to another monitor (outside of the application window). I know this is a trivial programming change. It would certainly make the UI a lot easier to deal with.

I am unable to post a response without my connection getting closed by the server.

They didn't. You've got a transparency slider. Set it to 0, and pinning/unpinning will work just as it was before.

No, it doesn't. Pinned windows become nontransparent when they get input focus.

Doesn't matter, how it is different, the interface remains unusable.

Well... so there are actually 35152 players using an "unusable interface" right now...

Most of those players are not even really using the UI. There are however professions like traders who have to use it permenantly. And i know many many traders who are still really really unhappy with the UI.

Edit: if you have serious eye diseases or problems, it can be an argument and you have to give feedback about it to CCP as others have done, but don't say the UI is unusable just like this, without any good argument.

But/And... even considering this argument, I would answer you that with the old UI you had opaque or semi or fully transparent windows. Nothing you can't have anymore, so...

I have explained my arguments in detail here and in the feedback thread weeks ago and guess what happended, nothing...

I have even posted pictures with clear design bugs in the UI, nothing happened..

And with the old UI i was able to choose the contrast between the window background and the text letters. This way i was able to modify it, so may eyes stayed relaxed. Not possible anymore.

And im not even going to start taling about that stupid window highlighting that we still cannot deactivate..

The idea is that actual items will still be represented by graphical icons, but everything else with cleaner, more iconic ones (such as windows in the Neocom). That being said, I'm not ruling out we might do a pass on some of our icons in the future.
