About the UI changes

kaeajakaeaja Member Posts: 517 Arc User
I just thought Id ask about how the UI has changed a bit.

What does everyone think about how its changed? What I refer to is the way its been recolored to display multiple colors and seems to be less...vibrant. Like compare the way the UI is colored and looks for the Feds on the live server and then compare it to how it looks on the Tribble Server for the Feds and honestly i think the Live server looks better, but what about the rest of you?

    I think it's a huge improvement, the old UI has never been particularly appealing (IMO) but the new one I really like, especially with the Romulan Classic colour scheme. I'm not a huge fan of the power preset part of the UI, I had to resize the UI to make it more visible as I usually have it set to 0.8 and it was hard to see what I was looking at when setting power levels, but other than that I like it a lot.

    To each their own, I just hope they let us change it to how it currently is on Live, I dont like the new appearance all that much :(

    The way the UI works has been changed entirely, so skins that look like what is on Holodeck currently won't be making a comeback.

    I like it.

    I especially like the color coding for the different department icons...

    Red = TAC

    Gold= ENG

    Blue = SCI
