Problems with the new UI design
« on: December 21, 2013, 08:43:47 pm »
I know it isn't finished, but so far I like the old one better. The new UI is just so cluttered and tries to display too much information in too small a space. What I like about the old UI is it is bright, straightforward, well organized, information is displayed in consistent places across screens and the screens are divided up so everything has enough space to do its job. The new UI is dark, the information displays are smaller, oddly shaped or place and some things are placed where they really don't belong.

Of course, there are many problems since it's far from done. Provide feedback what exactly you don't like, make suggestion what to change in new UI and sometimes (in not so far future I hope) it will be even better than old UI.

The new UI really isn't as bad as I first made it off to be. The only real problem I see now is the soldiers button is misleading since it sends you to soldier equipment screen. Employees and soldiers should be handled like they were in the old UI it is a lot less confusing.

Well you could do it the same way the old UI did and have the equip screen accessible from a employee screen.

That was my first reflex. But we discussed that on IRC and the result was...well, there was no result ;)

btw, did you vote ? For features, that is.

No I haven't partly because I have no idea where it is.
