New UI - Aesthetic feedback

[SirBroadcast]

It's ugly as hell. You attempted to fix something that wasn't broken.

Adding my +1 to all the recent complaints here. Need the option to switch back to the old style ASAP thanks.

The only place where you actually shouldn't have been saving the vertical space is vertical (line) spacing on description pages. Crammed walls of text make it way less readable (although it's just 1/3 of the original height, the difference is appalling). You can (yet) compare it to file download descriptions and comments section.

Not to say wider text section (description, comments etc) itself and the new more rounded font make it additionally harder to read (yes, in any language) and decreasing the scale (to make it narrower) leads to decreased font size

 

P.S. The new gradient backgrounds hurt my aesthetic sense.

I hate how I am just blinded, and this new menu pop up blocks my entire view and forces me back up to the top of the page.

And I can't even see the full mod name (if it's a little longer) at 100% scale What's even the point?

Yes, I have to constantly switch between 100% and 90% now, one time the font is uncomfortably big, next time it's uncomfortably small, why can't I just have everything at a normal scale, like a day ago?

I have to express my discontentment with the new UI you rolled out this week.Honestly, walk back the new interface, it is in no way superior to the old UI which was fine and elegant and needed no updating. Don't try to fix what's not broken. 
The new color scheme is an eye-sore on the mod pages and overall with the tracking, endorse new buttons the pages are less colorful and classy.

I've tried it on mobile, it's not much of an improvement there either. Please offer the option to switch between designs if you won't roll it back. Especially to Premium users.

Agreed.

I'm very disappointed that games don't have their unique colour schemes anymore and everything is just the basic orange.

The decision about the colors was made years ago.  It's a remnant from when the site was more focused on a small number of games.

[showler]

No, I mean that when they introduced those colors (which was done by the staff at the time and manually maintained) there were only a few games hosted on the site.  Since then the number of games has become huge and I'm pretty sure they long ago decided that a cohesive design and not having to tell users that their favorite game "just isn't important enough to have a color" was the way to go in the future.

This site overhaul has been in planning for (maybe) five years and has been an ongoing process for about two years now.
