Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 378	Posted - 2014.11.07 22:21:33 - [1] - Quote Just loaded it up. I am +1 the new UI as a concept and proposed new item, I shall miss the old one when it goes but I think this properly implemented will be a better solution. Issues: 1. Amarr has been mentioned - box/text/brightness = unreadable. Suggestions: 1. we need a Text Color Selector - this will help a GREAT deal. 2. Brightness Configuration slider. I think that will help with the issues I saw in the first 5 minutes of using it.

Also, you mention that we have to go into the graphics settings to turn off the 'blur' but i'm not seeing any "blurry/crisp-transparent window" related option. Is it some work-around, or actually intended to be a fix? Remember this is in development - so it's going to be incomplete, but yes there aren't any ways to do that atm... hopefully there is something at some point.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 378	Posted - 2014.11.07 23:19:39 - [3] - Quote Also I should mention people with astigmatism are going to have hard time with this concept unless it is properly implemented - due to the high contrast - I have an issue with this and I can't read some of text due to the contrast issues mentioned, but even the ones that are clearer - are blurry. the current UI has a very nice grey blend to it on some of the buttons in it - the old station tab replacement buttons - I would suggest that as an optional theme for people that have astigmatism, or other such issues. Also - while I am not - make sure you get color blind input as well.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 378	Posted - 2014.11.07 23:27:33 - [4] - Quote +1 IF: Scale Menu Tabs in Menu Bar for Horizontal Spacing - to make use of dead space on the bar and clean up the look. Option for Transparency of the Ship Fitting Window - long, overdue.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 379	Posted - 2014.11.08 01:08:23 - [5] - Quote 1. Option for Hangar Theme and Option for Space Theme would be nice as two distinct pre-sets in options. Also Major issue with reading the "right click menu over another window with text = impossible to read almost... current UI has it automatically solid - trans on trans doesn't work.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 379	Posted - 2014.11.11 04:03:39 - [6] - Quote I think we need an option for this like notifications: enable to test it live in Rhea, or when it comes out. The UI is such an important part of EVE, and so complex with regard to live play use, and the small number of people that actually test anything on the test server... A test UI enabled like the Notifications option is mandatory I think to avoid a possible WiS repeat with this one.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 381	Posted - 2014.11.12 19:31:11 - [7] - Quote Worst case: The UI is broken, the game stops being playable, people rage quit, EVE/CCP take another riot/rage moment, other games launch, people leave, EVE population degraded and reduced, only people that don't understand why UI was important and with ultra high settings stay, they then quit for Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen beta testing, and other High GPU settings games because people with that kind of rig are always nomads to the next bit of shine, and never about long-term play with a game.... and then EVE servers are turned off and we all go play some other long-term, low GPU community based game mechanic oriented stable game when we find it again or someone makes it. - All this has happened before, and all this will happen again...
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 396	Posted - 2014.11.17 10:13:11 - [8] - Quote Since this is a modernization theme/re-skin, I really think we should have the option to opt back to the current TQ version UI, there is nothing functionally changing, so there shouldn't be an issue with allowing for this. I am not a big fan of the UI themes and some of them are just not going to be workable as they are now, the glow thing is totally broken on Amarr theme where you cannot read the text if you mouse over something. There was nothing wrong with the current UI other then it lacked a pin and a transparency for the ship fitting window and the new industry window, other wise it was just fine.

A picture says more than words.. This is the star in Thera, which looks awesome if you wear sunglasses . Everyone, stay away from the Thera sun or you will get blind. http://i.imgur.com/fspB02b.png it's almost better as you can see. On TQ I can read all of this. This says it even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC6BXt6wl7k A Blinding white light!.... I am an Amarrian, I feel no pain.... but I am also quie blind.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 400	Posted - 2014.11.17 23:29:07 - [10] - Quote Ok, lets get down to business here, since this is going to be the new UI. 1. Neocon - needs the option to be opaque (solid) as well as transparent (clear) for one, to match the other windows in each theme. 2. The Station Services icons need to match the neocon icons in style and in image completely, and the icons need to scale in size just like the "Agents/Guests/Offices/Hangars" row does now. 3. The Tabs in all windows need to scale in size across the whole of the window from the left to the right wher they will then meet the pinning/minimizing/close portion. 4. Tabs need to go transparently when the window is pinned as well as the window, there is no need of contast opaque objects in the windows when they are pinned. it is distracting and in the way. 5. Tabs should not have background lighting/brightness... they should match the neocom in that the button is the color of the table or theme like the neocon and the mouse over should hightlight the text or the icon as it does with the neocon icons for consistance in appearance - this shoul be completely uniform. As it stands you have two different themes for the same icons in two places - this needs to be cleaned up - the neocom is the better of the two themes - it is clean easy to work with and consistent - use that as your pattern for the rest.

You know how you gave us a nice way to share our overview settings. It would be awesome if there was a way to share our UI Settings. I am looking at if I spend a lot of time getting one set up not I have to go back and try to reproduce it on all my toons. You can share the UI with all your toons or with someone else for that matter - there is a thread on this. I am not at my main PC so I will EDIT and post it HERE when I get online on that rig later on today.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 410	Posted - 2014.11.24 01:08:58 - [12] - Quote Pinned and Transparent need to be two different things - period.
Aurelius Valentius Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 413	Posted - 2014.12.03 11:29:35 - [13] - Quote Looking better but two things: 1. Icons on the Neocon should match the ones in the station services window for recognition - they are the same in the old/Current UI, in the new you have to sets of icons that are not the same - I would suggest you use the version of one or the other on both windows to keep it consistent, if recognition and ease of identity are the goals. 2. The Amarr theme - you took the one that matches the hangar and ships and left us with "burnt orange" - really? really CCP... burnt orange is the Amarr theme? - that is pumpkin color, the other was at least complimentary to the whole Amarrian hangar.
