Hi Michael:
I've used the new interface a little, and at first looked good, but a minute later I find it less useful that the old interface.
Some in the lines that Lutz said:
- Pictures to the right pane are too distracting and not useful at all. I thing that users want info, not BIG pictures, I use Facebook for that.
- I can see less information than with old interface
- I use the "last 10" panels, sorry :) (last 10 messages, last 10 replies, etc)
- In old layout I can configure what to enable or disable (If I don't want panels, then I can uncheck them)
- I can't configure backcolor (I use white anyway, not default lightblue)
- In general, I prefer the old interface because I have more information, more configuration and less distracting things
A problem I can see on both designs is that they are not responsive, so trying to browse UT on a mobile is terrible ugly, and there are some usability problems too.
Best Regards.-
