Still kinda supports my position. More unnecessary movements.

Also I'd like to point out how inconvenient the new 'x days ago' counter for update date feels. Seen this on other sites, it's never useful.

The problem is (you can look a few pages back), it's just impossible to stuff all solutions into one color choice, either users with bigger accessibility issues are left out on a more sudbued color theme (like the one I described or classic) or users who voiced their discomfort with new theme (like me) but were ok with classic theme.

I doubt that's easier than having 2 or more set themes to choose from, as on many other sites.

Those points make me do a double take on every single mod tile. And I agree that having 3-color font palette with a color accent lets you assess information quicker than a flat greyscale. On the other hand, I've seen a site go from a restrained accent palette to a more colorful palette that also slows you down, so sticking to the middle ground in this regard is always better Kind of a moot point when eye strain starts the second I look at the page. Out of curiosity used a color picker on my default background color for non-proportional wallpapers (black 0, 0, 0) and Nexus Next background (9, 9, 11 on the blue side), apparently that blue shine is what annoys me the most of all the questionable new design choices. upd. Although (9, 9, 15) with a very light grey font on another site feels ok. upd2. No, I think the issue is with large high-contrast areas anyway. Small areas with white on black text don't overload eyesight as much when most of the screen is filled with something more colorful and less contrasted.

They promised to bring those tags back. Also, thanks for a graphic example of how much less convenient the new UI is: - no emphasis on game name / type of the mod / modder name - no distinction between release / update date - bottom row reading goes from mod size/endorsements/download count to endorsements/download count/mod size. Since I write and read from left to right, I first get somewhat useless info about endorsements instead of useful info about mod size.

Actually was my first reaction to trying out Nexus Next Settings page. Since I've noticed that I'm not the only one averted by sudden UI size, fonts etc. inconsistency I'll faintly hope that there will be an option to keep the classic design (not just the color scheme), as it always has been easy to read, use, it scales properly, has just the right font size/weight etc etc. Not a fan of 'mobile' looks and 'modern means rounded corners' and all the CSS-fixing that entails either. Really hope that when the doomsday comes to mod pages, this topic will be flooded with more design-critical posts.

I would also like to support those who point out the eye strain caused by the new color scheme. Being mildly myopic myself I understand that other users might find the high contrast theme more accessible, but I really hope that you can implement some kind of switch between high contrast/classic colors for when you extend the updated design to all mod, article, media pages etc.
