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 and marketing 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. Or *gasp* give us the ability to chose whole window darken/title bar darken only.
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 practical UI on us in the name of glitz.
One other suggestion, the fleet window currently obliterates any other tabs its stacked with because it lists how many members, what wing and squad you are in IN THE TAB TITLE. Since the green arrow this is not needed, and the windows tab could easily be called 'fleet' only |

I know CCP feedback threads are here for CCP to decide what NOT to do by purposely ignoring everything anyone ever says, and i know ive said it before.
This might seem like a small issue to many of you, but it is not.
Im really very worried about invisible brackets beind windows. I like to nano at high speeds while outnumbered, a situation that is pretty common in FW space. Manually piloting is the only reliable way to achieve this. Given the amount of space taken up by the UI, removing brackets behind windows simply represents a huge and crippling loss in situational awareness.
Removing brackets for the sake of a slightly flashier UI feels like a slap in the face.
I dont mind if the brackets are slightly blurred while behind windows (as long as the targeting reticle is still clearly visible).
If brackets are removed from over half my screen, mostly in the useful periphery areas im thinking its time to take a break from eve and CCPs shallow production priorities. |

You are making an assumption there my friend. The hiding of brackets was clearly intentional. It even makes sense as it helps keep the UI clear of clutter. I suspect this design decision was made by someone whos focus is solely on making a nice UI they didnt consider that some clutter is essential to gameplay.
'having a chat with the team' =/= 'its an unintentional artefact of beautification'. Sounds to me more like revisiting a deliberate design choice.
If people dont voice their feedback about things in feedback threads it can have a detrimental impact on CCPs design decisions as it has in the past.
FYI, this is a feedback thread for eve online, not a feedback thread on peoples feedback in a eve-forum feedback thread. Thanks for your utterly valueless post though. |

It doesn't happen with prost-processing < high. Therefore I think it's an oversight.
Its just as likely they havent yet implemented it on other settings yet, you know since its a test build.
I guess we shouldnt complain about anything since any change CCP makes or wants is always for the better, right? (rhetorical)
I dont even know why CCP has a test server since they are always right.
Post your feedback, this thread is not here for you to engage in CCP apologetics on their behalf. |
