[1.0.4.20] How to fix the new UI changes? [not relevant]
asked 2014-03-17 23:13:47 +0200
This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
I was looking to the new update and I like most of the changes, but one thing has changed for worse: The UI. I was happy with subtleness of Jolla's UI (I was calling it non-invasive when showing it off to others), but this is now partly gone. Here are the main drawbacks:
- pulley menus are too bold and bright - it hurts my eyes to look at screen where they are present
- app background is too dark and does not follow the ambiance color as before
- application covers are too bright - especially in contrast to the dark background. With some ambiances, the conver is so bright that its text is almost unreadable - white on white.
- cover corners are too sharp and seem quite out of place
the keyboard... It was the most beautiful aspect of Sailfish UI, not anymore.
the dots, all the dots, on the UI have been overly boldened, I would understand a bit more boldness, but not this much, it's too intrusive
Can we aggregate solutions how to manually revert these changes? (as answers to this question)
Agree with the app background part. It was better before the update.
Neo ( 2014-03-17 23:17:22 +0200 )editIndeed. Still no osx support and loud notifications that can damage your ears. It looks like Jolla will focus on ringtones, walpapers and battery covers instead of fixing bugs.
cropas ( 2014-03-17 23:23:31 +0200 )editWhat about this "Introduced glass texture background to app covers"? I liked it better before.
Neo ( 2014-03-17 23:43:21 +0200 )edit@Neo Yes I added the comment about brightness and corners. Is that what you mean? Application covers look like the most annoying thing of the new update. It just burns my eyes... And then I realized I already have the brightness on the lowest setting :(
nodevel ( 2014-03-17 23:49:22 +0200 )edityeah, I was asking before the update already about whether we have a chance to roll back the UI settings. Unfortunately no response. https://together.jolla.com/question/32261/will-some-of-the-cosmetic-ui-improvements-in-for-example-the-upcoming-march-update-be-optionalreversible/
