Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1368	Posted - 2014.11.07 15:59:10 - [1] - Quote I just tried it... HOLY SHT, GOOD JOB. All the customization options are there (I was affraid we would be stuck to blue), it looks nice, modern, and all that. More detailed feedback will require further testing now :) Signature Tanking - Best Tanking*
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1368	Posted - 2014.11.07 16:13:53 - [2] - Quote My corpmates and I are unanimous, the loss of colors for the icons isn't a positive change. Its fashion and all that, but ultimately it doesn't help differenciating them. I'm not asking to go back to the old icons, but it'd be cool to have some color differenciation instead of just plain grey icons. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking

I'm not asking to go back to the old icons, but it'd be cool to have some color differenciation instead of just plain grey icons. Edit: I'd like to ask you to take some inspiration from the NES icon: Its flat, nice and modern, but it has enough color to be instantly recognizable; Stick with it over the weekend and see how you feel on Monday. Will do! Also, will we be given more customization options? For instance, its nice to get all these "themes", but I'd like to have a black theme with colored icons.

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1371	Posted - 2014.11.07 16:47:12 - [4] - Quote To be clear about the monochrome icon thing. Its not that all icons are harder to distinguish, its that some of them look so similar that even without color, our brains cannot quickly enough tell the difference. These icons in particular: http://i.gyazo.com/e36e6691c956dbfc5ab9e95a0ae04a2d.png That's just my opinion but maybe you could make their shape more distinct then. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking

Its not a password issue, If I type in a letter jumble for a password and get a different error. So I am using the right one. I tried with all three of my accounts. Maybe a Mac issue? Same, and I'm using windows 7. I suggest you find your eve sisi folder, go to the bin folder, and create a shortcut to exefile with the following shortcut parameter: /server:singularity Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1374	Posted - 2014.11.07 18:41:55 - [6] - Quote Can confirm that there are a lot of things that the blur window should let us see that it doesn't. Most importantly, brackets in space, and the content of other windows behind it (it becomes an ugly monochrome square :D) Signature Tanking - Best Tanking

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1414	Posted - 2014.11.19 11:52:33 - [8] - Quote Picking a rifter to be the main icon for all icons involving ships is not really astute in my opinion. Its a highly complex ship icon shrunk into various tiny proportions to fit the icons. Plus, its shape isn't intuitive to newbies, they will wonder "wtf is this reverse T shape?". You should make a stylized ship that everyone recognises, like a stealth fighter with its familiar 'V" shape. Thats what people expect when they see an icon about spaceships. Or if you really feel like you need to pick an EVE ship, pick the Condor, not the Rifter... Much more recognisable. EDIT: The ship icon inside the ISIS icon is exactly the one you MUST use for EVERY icon that has a rifter in it. Instead of the rifter. (IMO) General feedback about the icons: Neocom folders are nice Inventory: the cubic shape doesn't seem to make sense, but it could be worse. Cargohold: as said earlier... A rifter? No! In its higher size, the details are already barely visible, and the reverse T shape doesn't means "ship" in the mind of most people. Open Item Hangar: The icon should be the icon for "Open Fleet Hangar". Not logical to put a simili-fleet icon to open a private hangar... Open Ship Hangar: Again, the rifter... And the more it shrinks, the less it looks like something. Personal Assets: Still a bit a "Open personal cyclope hangar", but its okay I guess :) Redeem Items: No idea what this represents (a concord ID card?) but it looks nice. Browser bookmarks: Perfect Browser: Perfect Calculator: Nice Notepad: Perfect Logs and Messages: Nice, but a bit too similar to the notepad IMO. Regional Market: I swear, I tried as hard as I could, even after having spent a lot of time on the test server, I have to mentally make an effort when I want to open the market. That's sad, because I understand the meaning of this icon and the logic behind it... But it just doesn't feel right. At all. Please do something, its a very important icon! Contracts: Perfect Wallet: Confusing, most people don't know that Isk is represented with a Z-like thingie. You should've just made an icon with "ISK" instead. For a time I opened the regional market by mistake thinking it was my wallet, btw. Industry: Perfect Planetary Colonies: Perfect Agent Finder: I see the logic behind the icon, but it would be more suited to a "Secret Agent / Airport Tower Operator Finder". So yeah... Maybe you should remove the sunglasses and the headset for something else. I'd suggest no headset, and regular, "business-like" glasses, instead of the sunglasses. Faction Warfare: Nice. Why not. Bounty Office: Rather nice, but the target icon should be what catches the eye on this one. Currently its like "A silhouette with a little icon? What is it... squints Oh, its the bounty icon. Mail: Perfect Calender: Perfect Corporation: Feels okay. In EVE, stars means corporation so that must be logical enough. Somehow the corporation icon isn't the most easy to find, but I can't think of a way to improve this icon... So I guess my verdict is "nice". Sovereignty: Feels right! Don't forget that for most people, Sov means, most importantly, being able to show that you "own the system" (hence the flag). When you rebalance sov, keep that in mind Fleet: Better than before. I would prefer three small ships flying in formation (not rifter! Actual ship icons, reverse V shape and all that), but I guess this current icon also does the job. Twitch: Its Twitch. Channels: Perfect Character Sheet: I see what you did there! Very well thought indeed People and Places: Is okay. But it could be improved! Currently its more of a "search window icon" than anything else. Surely you could squeeze a little bookmark icon and a little silhouette icon behind the magnifying glass? Not sure how good it would be in the end as an icon, but that's my suggestion. Ship Fitting: Again, get rid of the rifter! Its unintuitive, and its ugly. Its okay, we understand that you love rifters, but no need to put these everywhere. (Side Note: The circle around the "rifter" -urgh-, should be divided in 5, not four. Its EVE Online, not Star Trek Online) Map: Perfect. Eagerly awaiting for the beta opt-in. ISIS: Perfect. As a side-note, the ship icon at the center of the ISIS icon is exactly the ship icon you should use in place of every rifter you put in the UI. The guy that made the ISIS icon nailed-it!! Journal: Perfect Compare Tool: Perfect NES: Without the colors, it has lost its easily recognizable icon, but I believe everything has been said about colored icons already. (= You don't like color, we love colors, clash! :D) Tutorial: Unless you want to scare newbies in less than 60seconds (could make fun vids on youtube), I suggest you really, really reconsider Aura's icon. Rating: Terrible Help: Perfect. But its hard to make a bad "Help" icon when its shape is a question mark Thank you for your attention Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1418	Posted - 2014.11.20 19:45:06 - [9] - Quote Please CCP, Let us customize the UI colors. Nothing impossible to make, R, G, and B for the primary and secondary color, plus eventually an opacity slider. That's all we ask Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1446	Posted - 2014.12.02 19:14:28 - [10] - Quote Still no RGB color slider for the UI? Signature Tanking - Best Tanking

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1448	Posted - 2014.12.03 16:02:16 - [11] - Quote Its sad to have to disable window blur to be able to see what's behind the windows... Its super sad to see all these themes and yet no colors slider to actually CUSTOMIZE the UI. That's a downgrade from the old version, which is a completely missed opportunity... I really hope you reconsider. Its dissapointing to see the rifter being used so much in the icons. If there is one ship which silouette doesn't look like a ship on an icon, its the rifter. The reverse T shape is ugly. I know that overall this UI is great, but its flaws highlighted above a really obvious and really hurt the whole. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1451	Posted - 2014.12.05 18:02:01 - [12] - Quote Hey! Its nice to see that we can now see ship modules and stuff behind the blurred windows :) But more opacity for these UI things in the background would be nice. Currently its barely noticeable Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
