I really hate the new icons. The old icons were meaningful and visually attractive. The new icons are meaningful, but visually SUCK! No color, and no 3D effect. I suppose I can get used to them, but EVE surely uglified itself in this update.
The same for the color schemes. The color just distract from the menus where they appear. The UI is really ugly now. I will continue to use them, but they are not ascetically pleasing. This update was a step backwards for the UI. |

I kinda don't care either way with the icons. I feel like half the time I couldn't find what I was looking for anyways. now I mostly just use the hot keys for stuff.
menu colors, eh, again hardly notice them. plus if you play with the settings they kinda seem to look the same as they used to.
I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!

I think they're too flat and simplified.
Now if they could make them faux-3D floating holographic glowing thingies, I'd be happy. They're just lacking dimension and awesome.

It's not just you. I'm not enjoying this UI at all, just like you say, I wish the icons have colors. That's how I spent the last 11 years identifying what I am opening, now I need one miss click to open the right function.
And tbh the neocom should NOT be transparent after I put transparency to zero.

No it isn't just you.The whole thing sucks.Or is a step or two backward in design.The UI windows are so indistinct.Having removed all the customisatiion from the interface,choosing a colour scheme I can put up wth, means windows have lost so much definition. |

It's nice to see that CCP ignored virtually every bit of feedback that was given to them in the UI thread, and in fact did the exact opposite of what was requested by players.
Feels like maybe they're trying to test the waters for an iPad release or something. Hurr.
I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

I like it. Probably cuz you all hate it!
Actually, if ccp fixed the transparency thing on windows that shouldn't be, and the mystery-buttons thing. The color choices are not that bad. Dark grey is good, but the Blood Raiders choice is demonic. And blur, definitely OFF.
Otherwise, the ship changes and the new rendering are really cool.
The proto-map will be purely awesome when tweaked! Best change in Rhea. Spend some time trying it out, well worth it!
Change is good...
Empire Space is worth fighting for.

CCP ignored all of the Sisi feedback on these crappy icons/menus, like usual. Don't expect them to fix it for another 6 months, at best. |

yes, EVE is being treated like an operating system. the viewport--the part we see space out of--is being treated like a desktop. In normal games, there is a significant border around the screen to build a feeling of environment, with an enclosure such as a windshield or a themed frame around the edges. But putting us in first person would be pointless due to the RP of piloting ships from the inside of a pod. So I think the commitment to an open border is the right decision.
but.
the viewport is not very sacred, apparently, and I think that's the biggest problem, and the start of improving the interface. EVE is not an operating system, and it should be a top priority to kill the tables. Colloquially they're called windows, but windows is a microsoft term for the tables in its operating system. that's one indicator of how deeply we've come to accept the tables in EVE.
the worst news is this latest iteration is still stuck in the operating system / tables design strategy. imo, it lacks creativity, and is a -huge- waste of immersion and ergonomics.
I'm also guessing the icons were vectorized so they can magnify as you mouse over them, the way the icons do along the bottom of the screen in mac operating systems.

An operating system like design is great in games with a lot of data to communicate or elements to interact with.

have you seen my feedback post with ways to dismantle chat channels and reduce tables? There are alternatives.
this is one of those cases where you have to show people what they want before they know they want it. players, not just devs, are accepting of the UI because it's all they can imagine, and all they've known. but games are a type of program that should have unique, branded interfaces. we are still playing excel in space.

- i like it, colors can be changed.
- the icons are easier to distinguish
- i have been reading the messages when i login, so there was no surprise
- i have checked the devblogs, so there was no surprise
- i played on sissy and tested, so there was no surprise
So it finally come to:

I like the design for the most part, but it seems theyve taken away the ability to customise the colours.
Although i never use the neocom i can see why people dont like it. |

I present to you, the new-and-upcoming Eve Forums! We've gone ahead and mimicked the current Eve Online experience to provide you with the fullest experience imaginable! no more distracting colors, weird shapes or issues with distinguishing between elements as they are all exactly the same! Hooray for dullness and eye strain!

No, friend, you are not alone. I could say hundreds of things about the new UI skin, but it would be wasted time.
The Devs said it themselves with another UI feature: "If we were to see a reaction similar to the reaction triggered by the removal of the start button in Windows 8 I'm sure we would re-evaluate." It's almost like a 'no-****' kind of thing, but yeah.
Colour themes are just fine, but you can't customise them. That makes it effectively worse.

After download the new Client and started, my eyes got hurt by the bright font over the transparent Windows.
Chat window, Inventory, etc. is nearly unreadable in this way.
But I figured out how to configure colours and transparency to achieve nearly the look and feel of the former UI.
And achieve it better readable. I will explain this in a separate post later.
The new NeoCom... Yes it sucks. I like colours. Now they are gone. :-(
And I need to mouseover the Icon and wait for the Information window, what this Icon is for...

Okay I too hated the new UI, still do for the Eve menu new graphics as they all look the same and Im forced to relearn what is what and now itll be easier to missclick in haste. But since I turned off that blur and turned transparency to 0, thanx Chribba you da man!!, its a lot better and more like the old one. Enough to suit me anyway.
Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

I think the icons are ok, after a week or two everyone will get used to them.
On the other hand I think the new color schemes are bad. The only difference between them is border and button color. I always used schemes with brighter window "interior", now it's just black. This really hurts my eyes. |

CCP unprofeccionaly closed several threads about new UI:
WTF
Motion Sickness from new UI
PLEASE RETURN OLD INTERFACE
and even discussion thread was closed:
New UI discussion thread (not feedback)
Great job CCP, keep it up and none will stay in eve. The Loss of half of players for last year - that's the result of closing such threads.
New UI is not smth realy NEW, it's just a SKIN! I don't have an opportunity to choose UI skins. Why?
This thread would be closed too, I guess.
So just do a simple thing:
Esc -> General Settings -> Your Support Tickets -> Create New Support Ticket
Group: Game Play
Category: Interfaces, Controls & Menus
Subject : PLEASE RETURN OLD INTERFACE
Support Ticket Text : PLEASE RETURN OLD INTERFACE
And press Submit
here is a memo:
PLEASE RETURN OLD INTERFACE JPG MEMO
It'll take less than a minute. If u feel 4 me, If u love eve - just do it.
Make them stop killing EVE!!!

They're all so monotone it can be difficult to navigate. Last icons had color and were easier to distinguish.
I like the new UI overall it is a nice change.
Don't run with a stick in your mouth.
