So, yeah. Considering this is only a cosmetic update, I'll restrict myself to only reviewing the actual interface.
Being able to access everything from one major tab makes the management of roles a bit more intuitive and certainly simplifies things. Having the big buttons for the various areas attention to this area, encouraging the user to click and explore.
At first I was a bit consternated by the small text size of the roles and such. But mouse-overing them brought up a tool tip that showed the roles in much bigger and easier to read pop-ups, which were fine.
I'm concerned about the huge amount of vertical space required for a 3x3 grid for every player in Access Roles. As long as we have huge corporations, it will become a massive list with a huge amount of vertical scrolling. But if vertical scrolling is the worst of my concerns, then we're in good shape.
The most important point is that there is no way in the new interface to assign roles to each title. We can assign a title to a player. But not roles to a title. This is mandatory and cannot be left out.
From a strictly cosmetic standpoint, I say +1. Looks better. ITs more intuitive and organized. But lacks the needed title management functionality. Overall a step in the right direction.
I'm a bit concerned about how well this will work once roles themselves get revamped. But I think it should be robust enough to serve unless the entire system gets completely rebuilt from the ground up. Here's hoping that doesn't break everything. vOv

First, ty for your work on this project. The UI clean-up is appreciated.
But I don't think there is any question that more work needs to be done. Corp roles changes aren't just about cleaning up the UI. The entire system is in dire need of a complete ground-up rework, especially when it comes to permissions for accessing POS structures that require corp wallet and hanger access roles in addition to more generic roles like Factory Manager.
People want to be able to rent out POS services to the public or even their own corp or alliance members without having to worry about someone walking off with the entire contents of the structure, or even the structure itself.
So I sincerely hope that "if we iterate" was actually meant to be "when we iterate".
