Poll: Which User Interface do you prefer?

[Drwyd]

I found the dark UI too harsh on the eyes, had to switch to the light one. Plus the flyouts were a bit of a pain. Look, point, click is much easier than look, point, wait, look, point click.

Hi Drwyd,

you did write "I found the dark UI too harsh on the eyes, had to switch to the light one."

Please let me know how, in Xara Designer Pro 6, turn to the old (light) interface I can not fnd the "button"
Many thanks for help.

Cheers

Hold CTRL+ALT+Shift+S and then close and re-open XDP6

Hi Folks,

Actualy if there is no choice to use the Old or New Interface it is not worth of spend money on "new" Xara Designer Pro 6.
The white paper sheet is in so hard contrast to the interface that the Xara Designer Pro 6 make it the user hostile instead of user friendly.

This is like reading the book illuminated with a lamp in a slightly dark room.
When you put your look from the book in to the room you see NOTHING!
Why, becaues the eyes must accomodate to the new light condition - DARKNESS around the book.
Sitting and working hour after hoour in such conditions is not healthy.
This makes work rather annoing, tiring, irritating and thinking of "what is that I se for Icon and where is it" instead of just using the icon you need withou guessing if you see right.

For me is the design and user comfort more important than new features.

So that's, I rather stay with the Xara Xtreme Pro 5 than spend money with something I am not comfortable with.

Cheers

please note the bit about it not being officially suported - thats important

Now when I can switch to the light "Pro" interface it looks worth the purchase, though.

Great to hear! The new features are fantastic!

As many have pointed out, it's a matter of contrast: If I work on print stuff, the new interface is horrific. If I do photo stuff (or dark web site graphics), the new UI is better than the old.

Yet more reasons to make them switchable easily.
