Poll: Which User Interface do you prefer?

[instinctive.de]

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.

Hi Everybody,

I agree with #81 that both UI should be included but the important thing is that there should be an easy switch between both.

As it is now the: CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + S is a bit awkward and looks like some high priority secret rather than the easy switch.

When you fix that it will be just as it should be: Flexible and Userfriendly

Cheers

..... and looks like some high priority secret rather than the easy switch .....

It isn't an easy switch, it is unsupported, and will probably disappear with the next release. That's probably why it's a secret. Also, if it causes problems, you're probably on your own (although that's my take, not an official comment).

There should be a vote option for BOTH
or even neither.

However, I liked the old option but new dark is growing me.

Especially with the ALT SHIFT CONTROL S swap option.

The problem with the swap option is that it resets all the toolbars to their default positions, which makes it useless [not that I'd ever change back from the new, professional UI].

I don't really have a strong preference except that I like to load a color pallet to the color line on the interface. When I do, and try to use the dark gray interface, there is so little contrast of the slider, that I find it very difficult to see the darn thing. It is much clearer in the light interface, but I don't like using an unsupported feature. Since I am not going to change the way I work, my choice seems to be to stay with 5X and wait and hope Xara improves the interface.
