New UI - Accessibility feedback

[perchik71]

In the new theme, there are a lot of cool shades (there is a lot of blue channel). This somewhat worsens the quality of life when reading text, as the white text becomes very corrosive to the eyes. 

For example: Discord RGB(49, 51, 56) not so much blue and not so dark.

We are currently moving different bits of feedback into separate threads. This is so that we can better group your suggestions by theme, which will be more useful to us than one ever-expanding mega-thread. As always, we appreciate your continued feedback. Please keep your comments as civil and constructive as possible.

This section is for feedback related to issues with accessibility for those experiencing pain or other issues with the new UI pages.

Wish I wouldn't have to do the extra step of doing a search by keyword to get to the search by found in description. People sometimes give their mods crazy names so searching for keywords rarely gives me a list of mods that I am actually searching for.

 

Also I don't want to search anything else besides mods almost 100% of the time, so make it that I can set a preference so I don't have to do the extra clicks to get to the list of mods.

Being a mod site, mods should be the default in your search UI.

I said it before and I'll say it again here: for anyone not requiring a high contrast color scheme or even requiring a lighter mode to read the new UI is utterly inaccessible for more than a couple minutes (yes, on the forums too). So, beside fixing all other issues, please, add at least one light mode (classic colors) option. With old subdued orange, because the new shade is pretty eye-searing too.

Mobile First design is trash.

 

New UI/UX is horribad.


I will 100% never subscribe again if this doesn't get reverted. 


It's astounding how blind and deaf they're being to this issue.  Any reasonable management team would see the backlash and feedback and immediately revert it or at least give people a toggle option to go back to the old layout.

Stop trying to fix what isn't broken.  You're not going to generate more revenue by pandering to one demographic at the expense of your existing core demographic who was already happy with the previous layout.
